Management and Monitoring Capabilities
You can enter Command Statements, composed of CLI Commands and their associated parameters. Statements may be
issued from the keyboard for real time control, or from scripts that automate configuration.
For example, when downloading a file, administrators enter the download CLI Command along with IP Address, file
name, and file type parameters.
You can access the CLI over a HyperTerminal serial connection or via Telnet. During initial configuration, you can use the
CLI over a serial port connection to configure an Access Point's IP address. When accessing the CLI via Telnet, you can
communicate with the Access Point from over your LAN (switch, hub, etc.), from over the Internet, or with a "crossover"
Ethernet cable connected directly to your computer's Ethernet Port.
To configure and monitor the AP device using Command Line Interface, see

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

In addition to the HTTP and the CLI interfaces, you can also manage and configure an AP using the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP). Note that this requires an SNMP Manager Program. The AP supports the following
Management Information Base (MIB) files that describe the parameters that can be viewed and/or configured over
SNMP:
• MIB-II (RFC 1213)
• Proxim Enterprise MIB
Proxim provides these MIB files on its support site http://support.proxim.com. You need to log on to the support site and
use Answer ID: 2813 to locate the MIB. You need to compile one or more of the above MIBs into your SNMP program's
database before you can manage an Access Point using SNMP.
The Enterprise MIB defines the read and read-write objects that can be viewed or configured using SNMP. These objects
correspond to most of the settings and statistics that are available with the other management interfaces. The MIB can be
opened with any text editor, such as Microsoft Word, Notepad, or WordPad.
To configure and monitor the AP device using Command Line Interface, see
Access.

Secure Shell (SSH)

You may securely also manage the AP using SSH (Secure Shell). The AP supports SSH version 2, for secure remote CLI
(Telnet) sessions. SSH provides strong authentication and encryption of session data.
The SSH server (AP) has host keys - a pair of asymmetric keys (a private key that resides on the AP) and a public key
that is distributed to clients that need to connect to the AP. Clients need to verify that it is communicating with the correct
SSH server.

HyperTerminal

HyperTerminal is a program that you can use to connect to other Computers, Telnet Sites, Bulletin Board Systems
(BBSs), Online Services, and Host Computers, using either your modem or a null modem cable.
• If you are using RS-232 cable, verify the following information in the Hyper Terminal Serial Port Setup:
Port COM1 (default)
Baud Rate 115200
Data 8-bit
Parity None
Stop 1-bit
