Using the AP Monitor
The AP (access point ROM) monitor is system software that lets you
manipulate the access point files and file segments. You can only access
the AP monitor through the serial port using a communications program.
Note
Certain functions available through the AP monitor can erase the
access point configuration. Allied Telesyn strongly recommends that
you only use the AP monitor when absolutely necessary. For
example, you might use the AP monitor to upgrade the access point
software or when instructed to do so by Allied Telesyn Technical
Support.
Entering the AP
Monitor
1. Use a communications program to start a session with the access
point.
2. Reboot the access point.
3. When you see the message <Press any key within 5 seconds to enter
the AP monitor> during the boot process, press Enter. The ap prompt
(ap>) appears.
Using AP
Monitor
Commands
You can display a list of AP monitor commands on the screen anytime you
see the ap prompt.
