1. Connect the null modem RS-232 cable between the Extension Point
Local Management Port and a free serial port on your terminal or PC.

Remotely (In-band)
The second configuration option is remote configuration across the wired network.
Note:
The Extension Point is not manufactured with a default IP address. In order
to telnet to the Extension Point, you must first assign it a valid IP address for
your network using null modem cable configuration or a BOOTP server.
1. From a wired or wireless client on your network, open a telnet session
to the Extension Point. A wireless client must have some link to the
Extension Point in order to open a telnet session. Either it is directly
synchronized to the BSA radio on the Extension Point, or it is
synchronized to a device that contains a wireless communications link
through several other Extension Points.
Note:
You cannot open more than one simultaneous telnet session, nor can you
telnet to an Extension Point that is currently being configured locally.
2. You will be prompted for a password if you enabled this option
through the TCP/IP Configuration Menu.
3. You will enter the configuration menu.
