SSH The Secure Shell (SSH) can act as a secure replacement for Telnet. The SSH
protocol uses generated public keys to encrypt all data transfers passing between
the access point and SSH-enabled management station clients and ensures that
data traveling over the network arrives unaltered. Clients can then securely use the
local user name and password for access authentication.
Note that SSH client software needs to be installed on the management station to
access the access point for management via the SSH protocol.
