Introduction

Using the UI

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

Telnet Client Access to the AP built-in Telnet server from any interface

including remote Ethernet connections.

See section 2.1.1: ”Using Telnet” on page 37.

Direct Serial The AP acts as a DTE device to connect directly to

Connection another DTE device with a null-modem serial cable. The direct serial access method requires a communication program with ANSI emulation.

See section 2.1.2: ”Using a Direct Serial Connection” on page 39.

Dial Up Access The dial-up access method requires a communication program with ANSI emulation on the remote terminal or PC. The terminal or PC dials to an AP with a modem connection. The AP supports connection to a Hayes-compatible 28,800-baud or faster modem.

See section 2.1.3: ”Using a Dial-Up Connection” on page 40.

SNMP Using a Access to the AP SNMP function using a MIB Browser.

MIB Browser Typically a Network Manager uses this feature, however, Symbol does not recommend accessing the AP using this interface method.

Web Browser Access to the AP built-in Web server from any AP interface including Ethernet connections.

See section 2.1.4: ”Using a Web Browser” on page 41.
