Overview
Cisco Aironet access points are wireless LAN transceivers that serve as the center
point of a stand-alone wireless network or as the connection point between
wireless and wired networks. In large installations, wireless users within radio
range of an access point can roam throughout a facility while maintaining
seamless, uninterrupted access to the network.
The access point uses a browser-based management system, but you can also
configure the access point using a terminal emulator, a Telnet session, Secure
Shell (SSH), or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
