Get Connection to CLI

There are three different ways to get a connection to the CLI of the Access Controller, via the:
Telnet
SSH client

Telnet Connection

Make sure that default access status is allowed and telnet function is enabled on
the AC before trying to connect via telnet. Otherwise, no telnet connection will be
available.
Connect the Access Controller via LAN or WAN ports using the enclosed UTP cable and start a telnet
session (using a telnet application). For example, connect your device via the WAN port, and then
make a telnet connection as the following:
telnet 192.168.2.66
where 192.168.2.66 is the default WAN interface IP. Login to CLI mode and the prompt will be
displayed automatically. Enter the administrator login settings (refer to the Login section for details).
