3.2 Configuration Options
Once installed and powered, an AP-7131 can be configured using one of several connection techniques.
Managing the access point includes viewing network statistics and setting configuration options. The
access point requires one of the following connection methods to manage the network:
• Secure Java-Based WEB UI - (use Sun Microsystems’ JRE 1.5 or higher available from Sun’s
Web site. Disable Microsoft’s Java Virtual Machine if installed). For information on using the
Web UI to set access point default configuration, see Basic Device Configuration on page 3-4
or chapters 4 through 7 of this guide.
• Command Line Interface (CLI) via Serial, Telnet and SSH. The access point CLI is accessed
through the RS232 port, via Telnet or SSH. The CLI follows the same configuration conventions
as the device user interface with a few documented exceptions. For details on using the CLI to
manage the access point, see CLI Reference on page 8-1.
• Config file - Readable text file; Importable/Exportable via FTP, TFTP and HTTP. Configuration
settings for an access point can be downloaded from the current configuration of another
access point meeting the import/export requirements. For information on importing or
exporting configuration files, see Importing/Exporting Configurations on page 4-46.
• MIB (Management Information Base) accessing the access point SNMP functions using a MIB
Browser. The AP-7131 access point download package contains the following 2 MIB files:
• Symbol-CC-WS2000-MIB-2.0
• Symbol-AP-5131-MIB
