Using The Command Line Interface - HP ProCurve 420 Installation And Getting Started Manual

Getting Started With Access Point Configuration
N o t e
By default, the access point is configured to acquire an IP address configura-
tion from a DHCP server. To use DHCP instead of the manual method
described in this chapter, see "DHCP Operation" in the Management and
Configuration Guide, which is on the Documentation CD-ROM that came
with your access point.

Using the Command Line Interface

The quickest and easiest way to minimally configure the access point for
management and password protection in your network is to use a direct
console connection to the access point, start a console session, and access
the command line interface (CLI).

Using the method described in the preceding chapter, connect a terminal
device to the access point, and press [Enter] to initiate the console
connection.
Enter "admin" for the user name. The default password is null, so just
press [Enter] at the password prompt. The CLI prompt appears displaying
the access point's model number.
