•The IP Address of the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller
•You may use either a terminal emulation program or a DOS shell for the Telnet session.
Note: By default, Telnet sessions are not allowed. You will need to enable Telnet sessions using your serial connection, and using the Cisco WLAN Solution CLI or Web User Interface.
Your computer may connect to the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller through the network using one of a variety of paths as shown in the following illustration.
1.Verify that your terminal emulation or DOS shell interface is configured with the following parameters:
-Ethernet address
-Port 23
2.In your terminal emulation interface, use the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller IP Address to Telnet to the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller command line interface. The CLI returns a login prompt.
3.Enter a valid login and password to enter the CLI. (The default login and password are admin and admin, respectively.)

The CLI automatically logs you out without saving any changes after a short period of inactivity. This automatic logout can be set from 0 (never log out), or from 1 to 160 minutes. (Use the CLI command config serial timeout x, where x is a number between 0 and 160.)
You are now logged into the CLI.
