modify the access point's configuration to optimize access point perfor-
mance, enhance network traffic control, and improve network security
download new software to the access point
set a Manager password to control access to the access point from the
console, Web browser interface, and network management stations
Out-of-Band: Use a serial cable for connecting a PC or VT-100 terminal
to be used as a console directly to the access point.
In-Band: Access the console using Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) from a
PC on the network, and a VT-100 terminal emulator. This method requires
that you first configure the access point with an IP address and subnet
mask by using either out-of-band console access or through DHCP. For
more information on IP addressing and on starting a Telnet or SSH session,
see chapter 3, "Getting Started With Access Point Configuration", and the
Management and Configuration Guide.
