Using the User Interface

The User Interface (UI) is a text-based maintenance tool integrated into the AP. It provides statistical displays, AP configuration options, and firmware upgrades. Access to the UI requires one of the methods listed in the following table:

Method	Description
Telnet Client	Gain access to the AP built-in Telnet server from any AP interface
	including remote Ethernet connections. Refer to “Using Telnet”
	on page 57.
Direct Serial	Acts as a DTE device to connect directly to a DTE device with a
Connection	null-modem serial cable. The direct serial access method requires a
	communication program with ANSI emulation. Refer to “Using a
	Direct Serial Connection” on page 58 for more information.
Dial Up Access	The dial-up access method requires a communication program
