Using the IP Address for Remote Access
Point Management
With your Access Point 420ww/na, you can use the access point's IP address to
manage the access point from any PC that is on the same subnet as the access
point. You can use either a Telnet session or a standard web browser to manage
the access point.

Starting a Telnet Session

To access the access point through a Telnet session, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the access point is configured with an IP address and that the
access point is reachable from the PC that is running the Telnet session
(for example, by using a Ping command to the access point's IP address).
2. Start the Telnet program on a PC that is on the same subnet as the access
point and connect to the access point's IP address.
3. Enter the user name and password. (The default user name is "admin" and
the default password is null. You will then see the access point's console
command (CLI) prompt, for example:
Username: admin
Password:

Enter ? to see a list of commands that can be executed at the prompt.
Entering any command followed by ? displays a list of options that are
available at that point in the command entry.

Starting a Web Browser Session

Your AP 420 ww/na can be managed through a graphical interface that
you can access from any PC or workstation on the network by running your
web browser (e.g., Java-enabled Internet Explorer 5.5) and typing in the
access point's IP address as the URL. (See "Using the Command Line Inter-
face" on page 3-2 for information on setting the IP address.) No additional
software installation is required to make this interface available; it is included
in the access point's onboard software.
