AP-800 User Guide

Managing the Access Point

There are several management and monitoring interfaces available to the network administrator to configure and

manage an AP on the network:

• HTTP/HTTPS Interface

• Command Line Interface/Telnet

• SNMP Management

• SSH (Secure Shell) Management

• ProximVision ES

HTTP/HTTPS Interface

The HTTP Interface (Web browser Interface) provides easy access to configuration settings and network statistics from

any computer on the network. You can access the HTTP Interface over your LAN (switch, hub, etc.), over the Internet, or

with a “crossover” Ethernet cable connected directly to your computer’s Ethernet Port.

HTTPS provides an HTTP connection over a Secure Socket Layer. HTTPS is one of the three available secure

management options on the AP; the other secure management option is SSH. HTTPS allows the user to access the AP

in a secure fashion using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) over port 443. The AP supports SSLv3 with a 128-bit encryption

certificate maintained by the AP for secure communications between the AP and the HTTP client. All communications

are encrypted using the server and the client-side certificate.

NOTE: When the AP is powered on, it always comes up with the default IP Address 169.254.128.132 for the first time,

unless otherwise it is configured to use a different IP, or send request to a dynamic server. In other words, the

default ip address type is "static".

• If the DHCP server is available, then AP-800 unit will be assigned an IP address automatically. You can find the IP

address of the device either from the DHCP server or the ScanTool.

• If the DHCP server is not available, then you can use the default IP address (169.254.128.132) or change the IP

address of your subnet using the ScanTool. You can log in to the device using the default UserName (admin) and

Password (public).

NOTE: The UserName and Password are case-sensitive.

The AP comes pre-installed with all required SSL files: default certificate, private key and SSL Certificate Pass-phrase

installed.

Command Line Interface/Telnet

The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based configuration utility that supports a set of keyboard commands and

parameters to configure and manage an AP. To login to the CLI Interface, follow the procedure:

1. Confirm that your computer’s IP address is same as that of the IP subnet of the AP.

2. Go to the DOS Command prompt on your computer.

3. Type telnet <IP address of the unit>.

4. Enter the User Name and Password. The default username is “admin” and the default password is “public”. The

username and password are case-sensitive.

5. From here proceed further to configure the device interface.

You can enter Command Statements, composed of CLI Commands and their associated parameters. Statements may

be issued from the keyboard for real time control, or from scripts that automate configuration.
