Manually Configuring Controller Information Using the Access Point CLI
Manually Configuring Controller Information Using the Access
Point CLI
In a new installation, when your access point is unable to reach a DHCP server, you can manually
configure needed controller information using the lightweight access point CLI.
Note The CLI commands in this section can be used only on a lightweight access point that is not associated
to a controller.
The static information configured with the CLI commands are used by the lightweight access point to
connect with a controller. After connecting with the controller, the controller reconfigures the access
point with new controller settings, but the static IP addresses for the access point and the default gateway
are not changed.
Connecting to the Console Serial Port
If you need to configure the access point locally (without connecting to a wired LAN), you can connect
a PC to the power injector console serial port using a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable. Follow these steps to
open the CLI by connecting to the console serial port:
Step 1 Connect a nine-pin, female DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable to the RJ-45 serial port on the power injector and
to the COM port on your PC. Figure 5-3 shows the power injector’s console serial port connector.
