SSH Connection to the AP

If you already deployed your network and know the IP address of your access point, you can
use a remote Secure Shell (SSH) connection to the access point to view the system console
over the network.
Using an SSH connection to the access point is similar to "Telnet" in that it gives you remote
access to the system console and CLI. SSH has the added advantage of being a secure
connection traffic encrypted.
To use an SSH connection, you need to have SSH software installed on your PC. The
examples in this guide use PuTTY, which is available as a free download from the Internet.
