Management and Monitoring Capabilities

There are several management and monitoring interfaces available to the network administrator to configure and
manage an AP on the network:
•

HTTP/HTTPS Interface

•

Command Line Interface

• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
• Secure Shell (SSH)
• HyperTerminal
• ProximVision ES
HTTP/HTTPS Interface
The HTTP Interface (Web Browser Interface) provides easy access to configuration settings and network statistics from
any computer on the network. You can access the HTTP Interface over your LAN (switch, hub, etc.), over the Internet, or
with a "crossover" Ethernet cable connected directly to your computer's Ethernet Port.
HTTPS provides an HTTP connection over a Secure Socket Layer. HTTPS is one of the three available secure
management options on the AP; the other secure management option is SSH. HTTPS allows the user to access the AP
in a secure fashion using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) over port 443. The AP supports SSLv3 with a 128-bit encryption
certificate maintained by the AP for secure communications between the AP and the HTTP client. All communications
are encrypted using the server and the client-side certificate.
NOTE: When the AP is powered on for the first time, it always comes up with the default IP Address (169.254.128.132),
unless otherwise it is configured to use a different IP. In other words, the default IP address type is "static".
• If the DHCP server is available, then AP will be assigned an IP address automatically. You can find the IP address
of the device either from the DHCP server or from the ScanTool.
• If the DHCP server is not available, then you can use the default IP address (169.254.128.132) or change the IP
address of your subnet using the ScanTool. You can log in to the device using the default UserName (admin)
and Password (public).
NOTE: The UserName and Password are case-sensitive.
The AP comes pre-installed with all required SSL files: Default Certificate, Private Key and SSL Certificate Pass-Phrase.
To configure and monitor AP device using Web Interface, see
Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based configuration utility that supports a set of keyboard commands and
parameters to configure and manage the AP. To login to the CLI Interface, follow the procedure:
1. Confirm that your computer's IP address is same as that of the IP subnet of the AP.
2. Go to the DOS Command prompt on your computer.
3. Type telnet <IP address of the unit>.
4. Enter the User Name and Password. The default username is "admin" and the default password is "public". The
username and password are case-sensitive.
5. From here proceed further to configure the device interface.
