SSH2 Connection to the Access Point

If you already have your network deployed and know the IP address of your access point, you can use a
remote SSH2 connection to the access point to view the system console over the network.

Using an SSH2 connection to the access point is similar to Telnet in that it gives you remote access to the
system console and CLI. SSH2 has the added advantage of being a secure connection traffic encrypted.

To use an SSH2 connection, you need to have SSH software installed on your PC (such as PuTTY, which
is available at

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

).

Telnet Function

Telnet Command

Get the current Telnet status

get telnet status

Enable Telnet acess

set telnet status up

Disable Telnet access

set telnet status down

Generate a new pair of SSH keys

set ssh gen-key yes

Note: This command may take up to 2 minutes to complete.After issuing this
command, you must reboot the AP for the new keys to take effect.

Notes

Any change that you make to the access point configuration through the command line interface
remains in effect for the current session. To save your changes across sessions, use the save-running
command

Notes

The Professional Access Point supports SSH version 2 only.

The default Static IP address is 192.168.1.10. If there is no DHCP server on the network, the
access point retains this static IP address at first-time startup. You can use the Detection Utility to
find the IP address of the access point. (For more about IP addressing, see

“Understanding

Dynamic and Static IP Addressing on the Professional Access Point” on page 20
