Point Management
With your RSVLC-0501, 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 point.
You can use either a Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) session, or a standard Web
browser to manage the access point.
Note To provide more security for the access point, management interfaces that are
not required can be disabled. This includes the Web, Telnet, and SSH, as well
as the serial console port, Clear button, and Reset button. For more informa-
tion, see the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on the Docu-
mentation CD-ROM that came with your access point.
Starting a Telnet Session
To access the access point through a Telnet session, follow these steps:
1. 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).
2. Start the Telnet program on a PC that is on the same subnet as the access
point and connect to the access point’s IP address.
Example:
telnet 192.168.1.19
3. Enter the user name and password. (The default user name is admin and
the default password is also admin. You will then see the access point’s
console command (CLI) prompt, for example:
Enter ? to see a list of commands that can be executed at the prompt.
Entering any command followed by ? displays a list of options that are
available at that point in the command entry.
