D-Link UAP CLI Command Reference

SSH Connection to the AP

If you already deployed your network and know the IP address of your access point, you can use a remote
Secure Shell (SSH) connection to the access point to view the system console over the network.
Using an SSH connection to the access point is similar to Telnet in that it gives you remote access to the system
console and CLI. SSH has the added advantage of being a secure connection with encrypted traffic.
To use an SSH connection, you need to have SSH software installed on your PC. The examples in this guide use
PuTTY, which is available as a free Internet download.
1. Start your SSH application.
2. Enter the IP address of access point and click Open.
(If your Domain Name Server is configured to map domain names to IP addresses via DHCP, you can enter
the domain name of the AP instead of an IP address.)
This brings up the SSH command window and establishes a connection to the access point. The login
prompt is displayed.
3. When the login prompt appears, enter the username and password.
– The default login name is admin. If you did not change the default password, press Enter when you are
prompted for a password. The default password is blank.
– After a successful login, the screen shows the
CLI commands at the prompt.
