Appendix A Serial Port


The HD Mesh unit features a serial port. The serial port is useful in the event that the router cannot

be accessed via TCP/IP (HTTP, Telnet, or Winbox). A Terminal Emulation program (such as HyperTerminal
on the Windows operating system) can be used to access the HD Mesh’s CLI using the serial port, which is
located in the top right side of the enclosure. The serial 9 pin db female connector can be used with a
standard null-modem cable to manage the HD Mesh unit.


















Management serial cable


The console cable needs to be a 9 pin db female to 9 pin db female connector cable. A null modem

cable can be used to manage the HD Mesh unit. You can also use the pin outs below to manufacture your
own serial cable.
