Abstract
A computer readable medium includes instructions which cause performance of operations to configure an access point, including receiving, by a wireless communication controller, wireless communication signals detected by a wireless communication antenna. The access point includes the wireless communication antenna, the wireless communication controller, and a System-On-Chip (SOC) having a serial port configured for receiving input from the wireless communication controller. The wireless communication signals include configuration commands. The operations further include generating, by the wireless communication controller, serial signals based on the wireless communication signals, the serial signals including the configuration commands. The operations further include receiving, by the SOC from the wireless communication controller, the serial signals including the configuration commands in the wireless communication signals detected by the wireless communication antenna, and configuring the access point based on the configuration commands received in the wireless communication signals detected by the wireless communication antenna.
