Do I need a crossover cable to configure a Cisco 1231 AP?
When connecting a PC to a Cisco 1231 access point Ethernet port, do I need a crossover cable? I don’t currently have flat or rolled cables to plug into the console port, but I do have straight-through and crossover cables. If I want to plug directly into the factory defaulted 1231, can I do it with a straight-through or do I have to have a crossover?
Thanks!

The aironet access points are by default receive ip address from DHCP server unlike other Cisco devices.
You can plug the aironet to a switch, find out the ip from DHCP server and try connect with internet browser – default username and password Cisco – with capital C.
But if you got the used aironet, no telling if it still receiving DHCP – you can reset it though.
Make your own rollover cable is not hard, see here
you only need additional RJ45 to serial converter.
