Using the Configuration Interfaces
Four different secure interfaces are available for administering the Airgo Access Point:
• Web browser (https)
• Command line interface (SSH or console)
• SNMP (SNMPv3)
• Policy management (https, XML-based)
This section explains how to access each of these interfaces. The configuration procedures in this
guide are all presented using the web browser interface. For additional information on the CLI, see
the CLI Reference Manual.
Using the Web Browser Interface
The Airgo AP web browser interface is the easiest way to configure an AP or check the current
settings. It includes the QuickStart facility to get the AP running as quickly as possible and full set
of AP features. NM Portal can also be launched from the web interface.

Reset buttons on the AP This is useful if the administrative password is lost; however, before
performing the reset, make sure to have the original factory-assigned AP
password available. Follow these steps:
1 Make sure the AP is connected to power (power adaptor or Power-over-
Ethernet).
2 On the side of the AP, hold down both the Reset and the Default buttons.
The button closest to the antenna is the Reset button. The button below it is
the Default button.
3 Release only the Reset button and continue to hold down the Default
button. After 10 seconds, the Status LED blinks from Red to Green twice.
If the AP has a buzzer, a beep indicates that the restore operation has
started.
4 Now release the Default button. The AP continues to reboot.The Status
LED turns Green when the reboot is successful and the AP is operational.
During this process, all passwords and configurations are reset to factory
defaults. If the AP was previously enrolled in a network, it must be re-
enrolled. The new administrator password is now the original AP unique
password that was set at the factory.
NOTE: In the web interface, a red asterisk (*) next to a field name indicates that the field is
required. Error messages are presented in text near the top of the panel.
