2.2.2.3 Telnet

Enable Telnet: When enabled, it provides administrator tools for controlling the device or network
debugging, over an unencrypted connection.

Port: Specifies the listening port, the default being 23.
To start using Telnet, enter the command "telnet 192.168.1.1" or "telnet 192.168.1.1 23" into a
Command Prompt when using Windows, or into a Terminal if using Linux or Mac OS X. This is assuming
that 192.168.1.1 is the IP address of your AP.
The splash page of WBSIac appears after login. Commands can then be entered into the Linux shell of
the AP, e.g., ifconfig, iwconfig, iwpriv, uci show, ls /bin, ls /sbin, ls /usr/bin, or ls /usr/sbin.

Web Server Mode: This can be set to Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or Hypertext Transfer
Protocol Secure (HTTPS).
For HTTPS, if you see the warning, "The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed. The certifi-
cate is only valid for WBSIac," click Add Exception, Confirm Security Exception and proceed.

Port: Specifies the listening port, the default being 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS.
