Configuration Overview
The AT-WL2411 access point features four different management
interfaces:
❑ Communications program via serial connection
❑ Telnet
❑ Web browser
❑ SNMP
Note
You must first access the management firmware using a
communications program via serial connection to assign the access
point an IP address before you can use the other management
interface options. This manual assumes that most configurations
will be performed remotely using a Web browser and provides in-
depth instructions for configuration using a Web browser in later
chapters.
Using a Serial Connection
Although the AT-WL2411 access point will work directly out of the box,
you must assign it an IP address and define other basic parameters
before you can manage it remotely. To perform these initial
configurations, you must use a serial connection and a terminal or a
communications program (such as HyperTerminal). This manual
assumes that you are using a communications program for your initial
configuration and performing all other configurations remotely using
the Web interface.
