How come your cisco cable pinout is 4,5,7,8
AFAIK
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/hw/maintenance/5585guide/5585Xhw/pinouts.pdf page 5
CISCO RJ45
pin 4,5 is GND
pin 7 DSR
pin 8 CTS
Aruba AP site need GND, TX, RX, 3.3V
I believe in RJ45 to Aruba AP should be
RJ45 > ARUBA AP
4 GND > 1 GND
6 RX > 2 TX
3 TX > 3 RX
8 CTS > 4 3.3V

Subject: How do I use the console port on an IAP 205?
Problem: Customer doesn't have the admin password for the three AP they have in their office. They are newer IAP 205s. I have tried different methods to get in to the CLI but have not been successful.
I tried what i saw on another post:
Breakout Cable using a Cisco Serial Cable
Just re-crimp the Ethernet plug pins to
green 4
yellow 5
red 7
orange 8
Well i tried that, but I still don't get anything on the screen using PuTTY. So maybe something else I am doing is incorrect.
I have the ENET port plugged into a POE swtich for power, and the console cable from cisco, pinned out like above. I am run PuTTY, with 9600, 8, 1, none, none from the COM1 on my PC. I have verified that COM is functional in Dev. Mgr. Does it need a external poer supply instead of POE for this instance? Should I use a POE injector instead?
Any help will be very greatful..
Thanks,
Brian
