Serial Console Port The serial console port allows you to connect the AP to a serial terminal or a laptop for direct local management. This port is an RJ-45 female connector with the pinouts described in Table 2. Connect this port in one of the following ways:  Connect it directly to a terminal or terminal server using an Ethernet cable.  Use a modular adapter to convert the RJ-45 (female) connector on the AP to a DB-9 (male) connector, and connect the adapter to a laptop using an RS-232 cable. Figure 5 illustrates the connector details of the adapter.
