Shot WAC720 on WC7600v1
Hi to all! Maybe anybody can help me. Today I have done a firmware upgrade on our WC7600v1 to the latest version (6.5.3.1). Of course with the migration firmware step (5.5.1R.0) because my version...
Ok, I got the solution.
At first for all who are searching for the console credentials.
The username is 'root' and not admin. The password is 'password'.
After the login the first step is to set an ip address on the AP:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
Then load the newest standalone firmware from an tftp server (e.g. with tftp64 from a windows machine) with the following command:
firmware-upgrade-tftp WAC720_WAC730_V3.7.12.0.tar 192.168.0.99
A few minutes later when the firmware upgrade finished the ap should start properly and you are able to reconnect the ap to your wireless controller.
And for all who search for the pinout of the console port on the WAC720 (COM Baudrate 115200):
RJ45 Pin --> DB9 Pin
1 (RTS) --> 8 (CTS)
2 (DTR) --> 6 (DSR)
3 (TXD) --> 2 (RXD)
4 (GND) --> 5 (GND)
5 (GND) --> 5 (GND)
6 (RXD) --> 3 (TXD)
7 (DSR) --> 4 (DTR)
8 (CTS) --> 7 (RTS)
Best regards
