There are several ways that you can manage who can configure and
manage the access points in your network:

The next sections explain how to configure these methods.

Enabling Access

Methods

There are five access methods that you can enable or disable depending
on how you want users to be able to configure or manage the access
points:

Web browser interface (HTTP or HTTPS)

Telnet session

SNMP management

TFTP

AT-WA7500 Configuration Wizard or any other program that uses

ICMP echo

All access methods are enabled by default. You may want to disable any
of these methods that you will not use to prevent access by an
unauthorized method.
