Hi,
I have an aruba 800 controller and tried to reset an AP 61 using the following cable that I made

I connected the serial connection to my computer's serial port, the "to AP" end of of the cable to the AP and the "to Network" end to one of the PoE ports of the controller. I also connected the ethernet port of the computer to 1 of the 800 controller's ethernet port. I first enabled SoE and it is showing that it is there when when I type show the inventory. I telnet to the controller on port 2300, I was able to telnet, it was asking for a username and password, I used the controller's username and password and was able to get to the soe prompt. When I type "connect 1/0" it will say connecting but it would just stay there for a long time without showing the ap prompt. When I press enter or any other keys it won't do anything unless I type ~. which disconnects it. Any idea why is it like this? Also, am I doing it correctly? Thanks.
