Installing the Access Point 420
Installation Procedures

Direct Console Access

To connect a console to the 
access point, follow these steps:

1.

Connect the PC or terminal 
to the access point’s Console 
port using a DB-9 female-to-
female serial cable. (If your 
PC or terminal has a 25-pin 
serial connector, first attach 
a 9-pin to 25-pin straight-
through adapter at one end 
of the console cable.)

The Console cable is 
described below.  A null-
modem cable or an HP 
serial cable,  part number 
5184-1894 (shipped with 
many  HP ProCurve 
switches), may be used.

Connection to PC serial ports also requires a crossover (null-modem) 
cable with a female DB-9 connector on both ends. Terminal connections 
will vary, requiring either a DB-9 or DB-25 connector, male or female. 
Serial cable options between an HP ProCure Wireless Access Point 420 
and a PC terminal are shown in the following table.
