intoyourbrowserinaspecialformat.
ToconnecttoanIPv6globaladdress,addsquarebracketsaroundtheIPv6address.Forexample,iftheAP
globalIPv6address
is2520::230:abff:fe00:2420,typethefollowingaddres sintotheIE7addressfield:http://
[2520::230:abff:fe00:2420].
ToconnecttotheiPv6linklocaladdress,replacethecolons(:)withhyphens(‐),addtheinterfacenumber
precededwithan"s,"thenadd".ipv6‐literal.net."Forexample,iftheAPlinklocaladdressis

UsingtheCLItoViewtheIPAddress
TheDHCPclientontheUAPisenabledbydefault.IfyouconnecttheUAPtoanetworkwithaDHCPserver,the
APautomaticallyacquiresanIPaddress.TomanagetheUAPbyusingtheAdministratorUI,youmustenterthe
IPaddressoftheaccesspointintoaWeb
browser.
IfaDHCPserveronyournetworkassignsanIPaddresstotheUAP,andyoudonotknowtheIPaddress,use
thefollowingstepstoviewtheIPaddressoftheUAP:
1. Usinganull‐modemcable,connectaVT100/ANSIterminaloraworkstationtotheconsole
(serial)port.
IfyouattachedaPC,Apple,orUNIXworkstation,startaterminal‐emulationprogram,suchas
HyperTerminalorTeraTerm.
2. Configuretheterminal‐emulationprogramtousethefollowingsettings:
•Baudrate:115200bps
•Databits:8
•Parity:none
•Stopbit:1
• Flowcontrol:none
3. Pressthereturnkey ,andaloginprompt
shouldappear.
Theloginnameisadmin.Thedefaultpasswordisadmin.Afterasuccessfullogin,thescreenshowsthe
(AccessPointName)#prompt.
