Use the following procedures to configure and setup up the AP 7181.
3.1 Initially Connecting to the Access Point
The AP 7181 can be staged and 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, refer to
Basic Device Configuration
Product Reference 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, refer to chapter
8 of the AP 7181 Access Point Product Reference Guide.
•
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.
