Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)
Accessing the CLI
When correctly connected to the access point, press [Enter] to initiate the
console session.
For more information on connecting to the access point’s Console port, refer
to the Installation and Getting Started Guide.
Note The default Static IP address is 192.168.1.10. If there is no DHCP server on the
network, the access point retains this static IP address at first-time startup.
Telnet Access
To configure the access point through a Telnet session, 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 AP530
[Enter] Example of a DNS-type name.
Secure Shell Access
Configuring the access point through an SSH client provides a secured connec-
tion as traffic is encrypted.
To configure the access point through an SSH session, make sure the access
point is configured with an IP address and that it is reachable from the PC that
is running the SSH session (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 AP530
[Enter] Example of a DNS-type name.
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 5-9.
