Telnet Connection
Telnet operates over the IP transport protocol. In this
environment, your management station and any network device
you want to manage over the network must have a valid IP
address. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255,
separated by periods. Each address consists of a network portion
and host portion. For example, if the access point cannot acquire
an IP address from a DHCP server, the default IP address used
by the access point, 192.168.1.1, consists of a network portion
(192.168.1) and a host portion (1).
To access the access point through a Telnet session, you must
first set the IP address for the access point, and set the default
gateway if you are managing the access point from a different IP
subnet. For example:
If your corporate network is connected to another network outside
your office or to the Internet, you need to apply for a registered IP
address. However, if you are attached to an isolated network,
then you can use any IP address that matches the network
segment to which you are attached.
