SECTION 4 " Configuration

Creating a Telnet Session

Before you can configure the access point through Telnet, you must connect the unit to the Ethernet cable. (See Section 3, “Installation,” for help.) You must also perform initial configuration through the DIAG port to:

"Set an IP address or DHCP server name. You should also configure a subnet mask and IP router address.

"Set the Ethernet cable type.

"NOTE: The access point includes an autodetect feature that senses the Ethernet medium if traffic is present. If no traffic is present on the cable, the system software defaults to 10BASE-T. For most installations, it is recommended that you explicitly set the Ethernet type.

The access point must go through its boot sequence before you can create a Telnet session. If you reboot the unit while in a session, the session terminates. You can create a new session after the unit reboots.

To create a Telnet session, see Figure 4-2 and the procedure following it.
