Introduction
The access point (AP) runs software that includes a network management agent.
The agent offers a variety of management options, including SNMP and a web-
based interface. The AP can also be accessed via Telnet or SSH for configuration
using a command line interface (CLI).
Configuration Options
The access point’s web agent allows you to configure AP parameters, monitor
wireless connections, and display statistics using a standard web browser such as
Internet Explorer 9.x or later, Mozilla Firefox 5 or later, and Google Chrome 35 or
later. The AP’s web management interface can be accessed from any computer
attached to the network.
The CLI program can be accessed remotely by a Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH)
connection over the network. The CLI is used primarily for technical support.
The AP’s management agent also supports SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the AP to be managed from any computer in
the network using network management software.
The AP’s web interface, console interface, and SNMP agent allow you to perform
management functions such as:
◆
Set management access user names and passwords
◆
Configure IP settings

◆
Configure 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio settings
