6710 Access Point User’s Guide

The port uses a standard PC AT style cable, and operates at

speeds up to 57.6 Kbps. Configuration using this port is

described in Section 4, “Configuration.”

Remote Access

Remote access is available over TCP/IP connections using

Telnet or Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for

configuration management, and Simple Network

Management Protocol (SNMP) for network management.

TCP/IP

The access point supports remote access through a Request

for Comments (RFC) compliant TCP/IP stack. Before initial

usage, the stack must be initially configured with an IP

address and an optional default router through the RS-232

diagnostics port. Alternatively, the access point may be

configured with a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

(DHCP) server name. The access point then obtains its IP

address, default router, and subnet mask from a DHCP

server.

DHCP Client

The access point contains a DHCP client, allowing it to

receive an IP address over the network. The DHCP client

supports temporary and permanent leases. It also accepts

permanent leases from a Bootstrap Protocol (Bootp) server.

See Section 4, “Configuration,” for further detail on DHCP

operation.

Telnet

Telnet may be used to access the access point’s

configuration menus. The command interface is identical to

the command interface through the diagnostics port. See

Section 4, “Configuration,” for more information about

access through Telnet.
