Wireless Access

Hi all,

I just purchased the Aruba console and obtained the below abnormal output, please advise.

Check the baud rate, data bits and parity of the serial line,

Usually it is 9600 8 N

Hi all,

It is indeed the information provided by Gorazd that you must configure for console access. If it doesn't work, you can try installing these microusb drivers, in case the driver isn't working properly.

Hi all,

I just purchased the Aruba console and obtained the below abnormal output, please advise.

We tried many times and still no luck. 

Seems the Drive just wouldn't match to the console.

I also wonder why Aruba has to make this thing too annoying to clients.

IT seems that Aruba is the only WIFI vendor asking clients to buy its console for Management !?

Why can not just use a common console to set it up!?

Hi Rick. 

You don't need a console cable to setup APs. Serial cable is usefull when you do a troubleshooting of the misbehaved AP or you need to change environment variables and AP has no access to the network.

I use console cable regulary and never had a problem with it.

If your settings match those listed below, then it is possible, that you have faulty serial cable or AP has faulty console port. Did you try with different AP?
