Point Management
With your Access Point 420, you can use the access point's IP address to
manage the access point from any PC that is on the same subnet as the access

the access point.

Starting a Telnet Session

Starting a Web Browser Session

Your Access Point 420 can be managed through a graphical interface that you
can access from any PC or workstation on the same subnet as the access point.
Open a compatible browser and type the access point's IP address as the URL.
(See "Using the Command Line Interface" on page 3-2 for information on
setting the IP address.) No additional software installation is required to make
this interface available; it is included in the access point's onboard software.

Make sure the access point is configured with an IP address and that the
access point is reachable from the PC that is running the Telnet session
(for example, use a ping command to the access point's IP address).

point and connect to the access point's IP address.
Example:
telnet 192.168.1.19
Enter the user name and password. (The default user name is admin and
the default password is null. You will then see the access point's console
