You can define other SNMP communities with User Management. The "Security
Setup" section in Chapter 3 of the Cisco Aironet Access Point Software
Configuration Guide describes User Management.
Click OK. The Setup page appears. If you changed the Role in Radio Network
setting, your Access Point reboots.
This section provides instructions for Microsoft's HyperTerminal; other programs
are similar.
When you type names and settings that appear in brackets you jump to that page
or setting. HyperTerminal jumps to the page or setting as soon as it recognizes a
unique name, so you need to type only the first few characters in the page or
setting name. To jump from the home page to the Setup page, for example, you
would only need to type se.
The console interface's auto-apply feature is on by default, so changes you make
to any page are applied automatically when you move to another management
page. To apply changes and stay on the current page, type apply and press Enter.
Follow these steps to assign basic settings to the Access Point with a terminal
emulator:
Connect a nine-pin, male-to-female, straight-through serial cable to the COM port
on a computer and to the RS-232 serial port on the back of the Access Point.
Figure 3-1 shows the location of the Access Point's serial port.
