Using the AP Monitor
The AP (access point ROM) monitor is system software that lets you
manipulate the access point files and file segments. You can only access
the AP monitor through the serial port using a communications
program.
Note
Certain functions available through the AP monitor can erase the
access point configuration. Allied Telesyn strongly recommends
that you only use the AP monitor when absolutely necessary. For
example, you might use the AP monitor to upgrade the access
point software or when instructed to do so by Allied Telesyn
Technical Support.
