## Navigate the Management Console

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.

### Navigation Keys

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:

- To select menu items, press the key corresponding to the bold letter for the item (case-sensitive hot key). Press ENTER to select the item.
- Press TAB to scroll through menu items.
- To change menu items, check the bottom line on the screen for configuration options. For multiple choice options, press the bold letter to select. To change values, type the value and press ENTER. If the value is invalid, the access point beeps and restores the original value.
- The bottom line on the menu enables menu or screen changes to take effect. Press TAB to scroll to the item and press Enter to select.
- When changing values such as System Name or System Passwords, accept values by scrolling to the next field or pressing ENTER.
- Press ESC to exit submenus.

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

### Entering Admin Mode

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

1. Select Enter Admin Mode from the Main Menu.
2. Type the administrator password. The default password is Intel.

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.

### Controlling Access to the Management System

To change Telnet access to the access point

1. Select Set System Configuration from the Main Menu.
2. Select Telnet Logins.
3. Press the SPACE BAR or LEFT/RIGHT-ARROW keys to toggle between Enabled and Disabled.
4. Use the TAB key to highlight the SAVE-[F1] function at the bottom of the screen, and then press ENTER to confirm.

To change the System Password

1. Select Set System Configuration from the Main Menu.
2. Press TAB to select System Password Admin-[F4] and display the Change System Passwords screen.

User Password | Allows the user to monitor or view the screens. Select any alphanumeric, case-sensitive entry up to 13 characters. The characters selected are displayed as asterisks. The default password is Intel.
