Accessing the CLI
Telnet Access
To access the console through a Telnet session, first make sure the access
point is configured with an IP address and that it is reachable from the PC that
is running the Telnet session (for example, use a ping command to the access
point’s IP address).
Start the Telnet program on the PC using the access point’s IP address (or DNS
name).
telnet 10.11.12.195
[Enter] Example of an IP address.
telnet HP420
[Enter] Example of a DNS-type name.
Secure Shell Access
To access the console through an SSH session, SSH v2.0 client software must
be installed on the management station PC. The access point must also be
configured with an IP address and be reachable from the management station
PC (for example, use a ping command to the access point’s IP address).
Start the SSH program on the PC using the access point’s IP address (or DNS
name).
ssh 10.11.12.195
[Enter] Example of an IP address.
ssh HP420
[Enter] Example of a DNS-type name.
No t e The access point supports only SSH version 2.0.
After boot up, the SSH server needs about two minutes to generate host
encryption keys. The SSH server is disabled while the keys are being gener-
ated.
For more information on the Secure Shell, see “Setting Management Access
Controls” on page 5-7.
