     1== Airspan LTE Base Station Serial Console ==
     2The Airspan base stations have a 9 pin connector (hidden behind a black hex bolt next to the
     3
     4ethernet port) which allows access to the two serial consoles (one for the airspan radio and the
     5
     6other for the networking unit). This is useful for recovery purposes when the base station does not
     7
     8respond via software, SSH, or web interfaces.

     15* Black plastic casing and strain relief are discarded, otherwise it will not fit into the base
     16
     17station.
     18* The front 3/4" of the connector must be kept clear (even heat shrink tubing on the front section
     19
     20will prevent insertion).
     21* Solder wires to the shorter/larger diameter pins.

     23Pinout of base station "jack" (or the side of the connector you will solder to):

     39'''Note:''' PuTTY is recommended because it can properly forward Ctrl+C like commands to the base
     40
     41station which are necessary because the consoles have a linux shell.
