Introduction to User Interface

Supported User Interfaces

The AP supports two types of user interfaces: console and VTY.
Console port: Manages and monitors users that log in via the console port. The AP provides one
console port of EIA/TIA-232 DCE type. The port is usually used for the first access to the AP.
VTY (virtual type terminal): Manages and monitors users that log in via VTY. A VTY port is usually
used when you access the AP through Telnet or SSH.
