The following interfaces provide tests, indicators, and an event log that can
be used to monitor the access point and its network connections and to help
you troubleshoot:
■ A graphical Web browser interface that you can use to manage your access
point from a PC running a supported Web browser, for example Microsoft
Internet Explorer.
The Status tab can be used to display access point configuration settings,
attached client station settings, and the event log.
■ A full-featured easy-to-use console interface that you can access by
connecting a standard terminal or PC running a terminal emulator to the
access point’s console port. (For information on the console port’s pin
assignments, see “Direct Console Access” on page 2-12.) The console
interface is also accessible through a Telnet or Secure Shell connection.
The ping command can test device access and connectivity. The show
command at all levels of the CLI provides detailed access point configu-
ration information.
