The Main Menu displays when you connect to the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Access Point Management Console using Telnet or a serial connection.
The top line displays the system name for the access point (default is Intel PRO/2011B Access Point ) and the name of the current screen.
Depending on the terminal emulation, you can use the arrow keys or TAB key to navigate through the menus and screens. For terminal emulation programs that do not support arrow or function keys, use the following control-character equivalents:
Navigation Key | Equivalent Control-character |
UP ARROW |
CTRL + O |
DOWN ARROW |
CTRL + I |
LEFT ARROW |
CTRL + U |
RIGHT ARROW |
CTRL + P |
F1 |
CTRL + Q |
F2 |
CTRL + W |
F3 |
CTRL + E |
F4 |
CTRL + R |
The following conventions also apply when navigating screens and menus:
Administration screens include options for saving or clearing data that appear on the bottom line of the screen. Confirmation prompts include the following:
OK |
Registers settings but does not save them in non-volatile memory (NVM). A reset command returns to previously saved settings. |
Save |
Saves all settings (including ones not on that screen) to NVM. This is the same as Save Configuration on the Special Functions screen. |
Save ALL APs |
Saves the access point installation configuration information to all access points with the same Network Name (SSID). This option saves the configuration changes for the current access point on the Known APs table to update their configuration and reset after the configuration has been modified. You can use this option only among the same hardware platforms and same firmware versions. |
Cancel |
Does not register settings changed in a screen. |
![]() |
NOTE: The dot in front of certain parameters, functions or options ( .Antenna Selection Primary Only ) indicates that these items update to all access points with the same Network Name (SSID) when you choose the Save ALL APs-[F2] option. You can use this option only among the same hardware platforms and same firmware versions |
The access point defaults to User when in serial mode allowing read-only access to the access points functions (for example, view statistics). Entering Admin mode provides access to configuration menus and allows you to configure the access point.
To Enter Admin mode
Remember that the password is case-sensitive. If the password is correct, the access point displays the Main Menu with the Enter Admin Mode menu item changed to Exit Admin Mode. If the password is incorrect, the access point continues to display the Main Menu with the Enter Admin Mode menu item.
![]() |
NOTE: Set the System Passwords on the Set System Configuration screen. |
To prevent unauthorized access, change the configuration access to the Configuration Management System. This includes enabling or disabling the Telnet Logins or changing the System Passwords.
