    Hi,

      I just noticed that Aruba 315 doesn't have a console port. Any idea how to console to this AP?

    it does have, it's under the rubber rectangle in the top left, see attached image.

     

    You need a suitable serial cable for it - e.g. an Aruba ap-cbl-ser (but a bit pricey) or buy a ttl-to-rs232 converter or ttl-to-usb adaptor online from ebay/taobao/amazon, they are popular for rasberry pi etc., see the post by Tamaz here

    I used a Raspberry PI 3 directly connected to the Aruba AP-315 and was successful at getting into the console.

     

     

    1.  sudo raspi-config -> Interface Options -> Serial -> Would you like a login shell? (NO) -> Would you like serial port hardware? (YES) -> Finish -> reboot

    2.  sudo apt install minicom

    3.  Connect  the following

         Aruba pwr  -> GPIO1 (3.3V)

         Aruba grnd -> GPIO6 (GND)

         Aruba TX   -> GPIO10 (RXD0)

         Aruba  RX -> GPIO08 (TXD0)

    4.  minicom -b 9600 -o -D /dev/ttyS0

     

    You should be in!

    Just in case anyone needs the exact pinout. Working 100% with my little USB2TTL.

    I confirmed this pinout works perfectly on the IAP-315! I used a HiLegato FT232RL, so the only difference was making sure the jumper on the board was set to 3.3v.
