“motorola.” You can now access the access point.
6.3 Enabling Authentication and Encryption Schemes
To complement the built-in firewall filters on the WAN side of the access point, the WLAN side of the
access point supports authentication and encryption schemes. Authentication is a challenge-
response procedure for validating user credentials such as username, password, and sometimes
secret-key information. The access point provides two schemes for authenticating users: 802.1x EAP
and Kerberos.
NOTE If using an AP-5131 model access point, a null modem cable is required. If
using an AP-5181 model access point, an RJ-45 to Serial cable is required
to make the connection.
CAUTION If the <ESC> key is not pressed within three seconds after the “Press
esc key to run boot firmware” message displays, the access point will
continue to boot.
