SSH2 Connection to the Access Point

If you already have your network deployed and know the IP address of your access point, you can use a remote SSH2 connection to the access point to view the system console over the network.

Notes

The Professional Access Point supports SSH version 2 only.

The default Static IP address is 192.168.1.10. If there is no DHCP server on the network, the access point retains this static IP address at first-time startup. You can use the Detection Utility to find the IP address of the access point. (For more about IP addressing, see “Understanding Dynamic and Static IP Addressing on the Professional Access Point” on page 20.)

Using an SSH2 connection to the access point is similar to Telnet in that it gives you remote access to the system console and CLI. SSH2 has the added advantage of being a secure connection traffic encrypted.

To use an SSH2 connection, you need to have SSH software installed on your PC (such as PuTTY, which is available at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/).
