Getting Started With Access
Point Configuration
Starting an SSH Session
To access the console through an SSH session, SSH v2.0 client software must
be installed on the management station PC. Note that after boot up, the access
point’s SSH server needs about two minutes to generate host encryption keys.
The SSH server is disabled while the keys are being generated.
Note The access point supports only SSH version 2.0.
To access the access point through an SSH session, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the access point is configured with an IP address and that the
access point is reachable from the PC that is running the SSH session (for
example, use a ping command to the access point’s IP address).
2. Start the SSH client program on a PC that is on the same subnet as the
access point and connect to the access point’s IP address.
Example:
ssh 192.168.1.19
3. Enter the Manager user name and password. (The default Manager user
name is admin and the default password is null. You will then see the
access point’s console command (CLI) prompt, for example:
Starting a Web Browser Session
Your Access Point 420 can be managed through a graphical interface that you
can access from any PC or workstation on the same subnet as the access point.
Open a compatible browser and type the access point’s IP address as the URL.
(See “Using the Command Line Interface” on page 3-2 for information on
setting the IP address.) No additional software installation is required to make
this interface available; it is included in the access point’s onboard software.
