3.1 Initialization
You can initialize the device either through CLI commands, Web Interface or SNMP Interface.
•
To initialize the device by using CLI commands, connect a serial RS-232 cable to the Serial Port of the device.
: AP-8100 does not have a serial port. However, you can initialize, configure, manage and monitor the device
through CLI commands via Telnet/SSH.
•
To initialize the device by using Web or SNMP interface, connect an ethernet cable to the Ethernet Port of the
device.
For all the modes of connection, you will need to configure the IP address of the device. As each network is different, a
suitable IP address on the network must be assigned to the device. This IP address helps you to configure, manage and
monitor the device through the Web Interface, SNMP, or Telnet/CLI.
The device can either have a static IP or dynamic IP address. By default, the device obtains its IP address automatically
through DHCP (dynamic IP address); or else, you must set the IP Address manually (static IP address).
To access the HTTP interface and configure the device, the device must be assigned an IP address, which is valid on its
ethernet network. By default, the IP Address type is set to Dynamic. If there is no response from the DHCP server, then the
device will fall back to the IP Address 169.254.128.132.
3.1.1 ScanTool
Proxim's ScanTool (Answer ID 1735) is a software utility that runs on Microsoft's Windows machine.

•
Switch between the network adapters, if there are multiple network adapters in the system.
•
Launch the Web interface.
