How to Access the Access Point CLI
You can use any of the following methods to access the command line interface (CLI) for the
access point or wireless network:

Telnet Connection to the AP

• SSH Connection to the AP
Telnet Connection to the AP
If you already deployed the network and know the IP address of your access point, you can use
a remote Telnet connection to the access point to view the system console over the network.
Using a Telnet connection gives you remote access to the AP system console. The only
disadvantage of using Telnet is that with Telnet you cannot access the system console until the
AP is fully initialized. Therefore, you cannot view AP startup messages. However, once the
AP is operational, you can use a Telnet connection to view the AP system console and enter
CLI commands. To use Telnet, you need a Telnet client, such as PuTTY.
To use the Microsoft Windows command window for Telnet access to the AP, use the
following instructions:
