Conﬁguration

This section describes the methods used to access and

conﬁgure the Console system of the Aironet Access Point.

This system contains all commands necessary to initially

conﬁgure and monitor the operation of the unit.

Accessing the Console System

There are many ways in which you may conﬁgure and

monitor the Aironet Access Point. When the unit is ﬁrst pow-

ered up, basic conﬁguration must initially be performed by

accessing the Console Serial Port.

To gain access through the Serial Port, the Aironet Access

Point must be connected to a terminal or a PC running a

terminal emulation program. Set the terminal to

9600

Baud,

-Parity,

data bits,

stop bit, and ANSI compatible.

The Console system is organized as a set of menus. Each

selection in a menu list may either take you to a sub-menu

or display a command that will conﬁgure or display

information controlling the unit.

Once the Aironet Access Point has been assigned an IP

address, you may then access the Console remotely using:

• Telnet protocol from a remote host or PC

• HTML browser, such as Netscape Navigator from a

remote host

• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) from a

remote network management node
