Configuration Options

Once installed and powered, the Access Point can be configured using one of several connection
techniques. Managing the access point includes viewing network statistics and setting configuration
options. The access point requires one of the following connection methods to manage the network:
Secure Java-Based WEB UI - (use Sun Microsystems' JRE 1.5 or higher available from Sun's Web site.
●
Disable Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine if installed). For information on using the Web UI to set
access point default configuration, see
through 7 of this guide.
Command Line Interface (CLI) via Serial, Telnet and SSH. The Access Point CLI is accessed through the
●
RS232 port, via Telnet or SSH. The CLI follows the same configuration conventions as the device
user interface with a few documented exceptions.
Config file - Readable text file; Importable/Exportable via FTP, TFTP and HTTP. Configuration

Initially Connecting to the Access Point

NOTE
The procedures described below assume this is the first time you are connecting to an Altitude 4700
Series Access Point.
NOTE
The computer being used should be configured to use the same IP address and subnet mask as the
Access Point.

Connecting to the Access Point using the WAN Port

To initially connect to the Access Point using the Access Point's WAN port:
1 Connect AC power to the Access Point, as Power-Over-Ether support is not available on the Access
Point's WAN (or GE2) port.
2 Start a browser and enter the Access Point's static IP address (10.1.1.1). The default password is
"admin123."
3 Refer to "Basic Device Configuration" on page 65
