Using the User Interface

The User Interface (UI) is a text-based maintenance tool integrated into the AP. It
provides statistical displays, AP configuration options, and firmware upgrades.
Access to the UI requires one of the methods listed in the following table:
Method Description
Telnet Client Gain access to the AP built-in Telnet server from any AP interface
including remote Ethernet connections. Refer to "Using Telnet"
on page 57.
Direct Serial Acts as a DTE device to connect directly to a DTE device with a
Connection null-modem serial cable. The direct serial access method requires a
communication program with ANSI emulation. Refer to "Using a
Direct Serial Connection" on page 58 for more information.
Dial Up Access The dial-up access method requires a communication program
with ANSI emulation on the remote terminal or PC. The terminal
or PC dials to an AP with a modem connection. The AP supports
connection to a Hayes-compatible 28,800-baud or faster modem.
Refer to "Using a Dial-up Connection" on page 58.
