Serial Port
You can also use the CLI through the serial port of the MP.11/a with a terminal program such as
HyperTerminal. You can use this method for cases in which other access methods cannot be used, or
when the IP address of the MP.11/a cannot be set or retrieved. Also see “Hard Reset to Factory
Default” on page 106.
To use the CLI through the serial port of the MP.11/a the following items are required:
▪ A serial RS-232C cable with a male and a female DB-9 connector. The serial cable must have a
minimum of the following connections:
Male Connector Female Connector
Pin 2 ----------------Æ Pin 2
Pin 3 ----------------Æ Pin 3
Pin 5 ----------------Æ Pin 5
▪ An ASCII terminal program, such as HyperTerminal.
Proxim recommends you switch off the MP.11/a and the computer before connecting or disconnecting
the serial RS-232C cable.
To access the MP.11/a through the serial port:
1. Start your terminal program.
2. Set the following connection properties; then connect:
COM port (For example, COM1 or COM2, to which the MP.11/a serial port is connected.)
Bits per second 9600
Data bits 8
Stop bits 1
Flow control none
Parity none
Line ends carriage return with line feed
3. Press the RESET button on the MP.11/a unit. The terminal program displays Power On Self Test
(POST) messages. After approximately 90 seconds it displays:
Please enter password:
4. Enter the password. The default password is public.
You can now use the CLI.
