Which port do I plug into

Which port do I plug into. Consol. Aux or Poe

You should use the POE power for communications / network connectivity on your AP. The Console port is for connecting a serial adapter to and the Aux port is for additional downstream traffic but you *probably* don't need to worry about that for now.

   A port is a physical entity that is used for connections on the controller platform. Controllers have two       types  of ports: distribution system ports and a service port.

To configure the controller through CLI, you'd have to use the console port.

Before you can configure the controller for basic operations, you need to connect it to a PC that uses a VT-100 terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal, ProComm, Minicom, or Tip). Complete these steps in order to connect the PC to the controller's console port:

1. Plug the RJ-45 connector on a null-modem serial cable into the controller's console port and the other end of the cable into the PC's serial port.

2. Start the PC's terminal emulation program.

3. Configure the terminal emulation program for these parameters:

   • 9600 baud

   • 8 data bits

   • No flow control

   • 1 stop bit

   • No parity
