Console Terminal (recommended for first-time log-in)
To configure the AP via a console terminal:
1. Connect a PC to the COM1 port on the radio.
2. Establish a terminal session (using HyperTerminal, for example) using the following data
parameters:
• 1920 0 bps
• 8 bits
• no parity
• one stop bit (8N1)
• hardware flow control disabled
• VT100 emulation
The exact parameters given above must be used for console terminal communication.
Improper settings are a common cause of difficulty
.
Telnet Connection Using the AP LAN Port (a valid IP address must be set)
To configure the AP via its LAN port:
1.
Connect a PC Ethernet port to the AP with an Ethernet crossover cable.
NOTE: The radio must first have a valid IP address programmed—the
default IP address is 192.168.1.1.
2.
Log in to the AP as follows:
a. Press the ENTER key to receive the login prompt. The COM1/LAN LE D
flashes to indicate data communications.
b. At the login prompt, enter the username (admin is the default
username). Press ENTER .
c.
At the Pass word prompt, enter the password (admin is the default password).
Press ENTER . Upon successful log-in, the Starting Information Screen
