2 - 2 Aironet Wireless Client

Access Methods

There are many ways in which you may conﬁgure and monitor the

Aironet Wireless Client. When the unit is powered up, basic conﬁgura-

tion must be performed by accessing the Console Serial Port. To gain

access through the Serial Port, the Aironet Wireless Client must be con-

nected to a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program. See

Chapter 1 “Installing the Aironet Wireless Client for Ethernet or

Serial”.

1. Set the terminal to 9600 Baud, No-Parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and

ANSI compatible.

2. Start communication between the terminal or PC and the Aironet

Wireless Client.

NOTE: If you are conﬁguring an Ethernet Client, proceed to Step 4.

3. The Serial Client will be in data mode when ﬁrst powered on. To

enable the Console Mode, send two break commands from the termi-

nal or PC to the Serial Client. The Main Menu will then be dis-

played.

4. Once the Aironet Wireless Client has been assigned an IP address,

you may access the Console remotely.

The Aironet Wireless Client can be accessed using:

n Telnet protocol from a remote host or PC

n HTML browser, such as Netscape Navigator from a remote host

n Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) from a remote net-

work management station
