Configuration

Telnet—This protocol allows TCP/IP connections to a host. Telnet allows a user at one site to establish a TCP
connection to a login server at another site, and then pass the keystrokes from one device to the other. Telnet can
accept either an IP address or domain name as the remote device address.

Secure Shell (SSH)—This protocol provides a secure, remote connection to networking devices. The SSH software
package provides secure login sessions by encrypting the entire session. SSH features strong cryptographic
authentication, strong encryption, and integrity protection.
For more information about using the CLI, see the "Using the Command-Line Interface" chapter of the
Configuration Guide for Autonomous Aironet Access

Using the Web Browser Interface

The web browser interface contains management pages you can use to change the wireless device settings, upgrade
firmware, and monitor and configure other wireless devices on the network.
You use the wireless device IP address of the access point to access the web browser interface. Prior to using the web
browser interface for the first time, you must assign an IP address to the access point (see
page 31).
To use the web browser interface:
1. Open your browser and enter the IP address of the access point in the address field.
The login screen appears.
2. Enter the user name Cisco and password Cisco.
The username and password are case-sensitive.
Note: We recommend that you change your user name and password after first-time log in.
3. Use the system management pages to define the access point configuration settings.

Cisco IOS Configuration Guide for Autonomous Aironet Access

Obtaining an IP Address

Your access point requires an IP address to operate. The access point is not shipped with a default IP address. It obtains
an IP address from the DHCP server in your network when you make the connection. If your network does not have a
DHCP server, the access point continues to request an IP address until you assign it one. You must configure the IP
address by opening the CLI from a terminal session established through the console port on the access point.
You must know the IP address assigned to the access before you can use the browser-based management GUI. If your
access point obtained its IP address the network DHCP server, you or your network administrator can obtain it by
querying the DHCP server using the MAC address of the access point.
