Allied Telesis AT-WL2411 - Manual (Page 38)

Configuration Overview
38
Using a Serial Connection
Although the AT-WL2411 Access Point will work directly out of the box,
you must assign it an IP Address and define other basic parameters
before you can manage it remotely. To perform these initial
configurations, you must use a serial connection and a terminal or a
communications program (such as HyperTerminal). This manual
assumes that you are using a communications program for your initial
configuration and performing all other configurations remotely using
the Web interface.
To perform a basic configuration of the AT-WL2411 using the default
settings, you need the following:
❑ An RS-232 null-modem cable
❑ A terminal or PC with an open serial port
To configure the AT-WL2411, perform the following procedure:
1. Use the RS-232 null-modem cable to connect the serial port on the
access point to a serial port on your PC.
2. Open your communications program and configure the serial
communications parameters on your PC to:
Baud 9600
Data bits 8
Parity no
Stop bit 1
Flow control none
3. Connect the power cable to the access point and to a power source.
The access point does not have an ON/OFF switch, so the unit is ON as
soon as power is applied.
