9115ax cosole issue

[brettlarkins]

Has anyone had any issues using a console cable on the new 9115AX AP's?

Are there any unusual settings, unlike all the other AP's and switches, like a strange Baud rate, or anything?

I have a couple console cables that works for all my Cisco gear, but I cannot get any good output from this new AP, and I only have 1 AX AP to test with, so I cannot tell if I just got a "bad" one, or if I'm missing something.

All it shows when consoled and booting up is gibberish:

 - Cold/poweron-boot the AP , then tap the space bar at regular intervals during the boot process. Check if this helps.

Turns out it was just a "Bad" AP.  I've worked with many 9115 and 9120 AP's over the last 6 months and never encountered this issue again with any of the others.  Same console settings as all AP's and switches before... this was just a bad AP.
