Micro-B Console Port
To create a console connection to the access point, follow these steps:
1. Connect the console port on the access point to the serial port on the computer using the proprietary
Aruba AP-CBL-SERU cable or AP-MOD-SERU module, which need to be purchased separately.
2. Start the terminal emulation software on the computer and configure a new serial session with the
following settings:
nSpeed: 9600 bps
nData bits:8
nStop bits: 1
nParity: None
nFlow control: None
3. Start the terminal emulation session.
4. Press Enter once. If the connection is sucessful, you are prompted to login.
For this console port pin-out details, refer to Figure 4.

If needed, the AP console driver can be found at the Aruba support portal.
When the access point is in factory default state the console interface (both physical port and BLE) is
enabled with default credentials (username is “admin” and password is the serial number of the unit).
Once the AP has established a connection with its management platform, the console port state
(enabled/disabled) and access credentials are updated to match what’s configured there. State and
credentials are maintained if the AP is power-cycled or rebooted.
Ethernet Ports
The 600R Series access point has five Ethernet ports (E0 - E4), shown in Figure 3.
nThe E0 port is a 100/1000Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDIX uplink port .
nThe E1 port is a 100/1000/2500Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDIX port, which can be configured as a
secondary uplink port or downlink port by system management software.
nThe E2- E4 ports are 100/1000Base-T auto-sensing MDI/MDIX downlink ports. E4 port is the PoE out port
and capable to supply PoE power to a 802.3af-compliant device that is phisically connected to the E4
port by Ethernet cable.
Ethernet Port LEDs
Each of the E0-E3 ports has one LED located on the left side, indicating the network status or activity on the
port.
The E4 port has two LEDs located on both sides, the left LEDindicating the network status or activity on the
port, while the right LEDindicating the PoE powering status when the access point is operating as a Power
Sourcing Equipment (PSE). See Figure 3 and Table 3
