Commands

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.

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.

You can display a list of AP monitor commands on the screen anytime you see the ap prompt.
