Troubleshooting
After provisioning and deployment, the OmniAccess OAW-AP70 
can be configured and managed through the Alcatel Wireless LAN 
Switch. However, the OmniAccess OAW-AP70 includes built-in 
troubleshooting features for situations where the switch 
commands are unable to diagnose AP problems.
This appendix describes using the built-in AP support prompt for 
troubleshooting.
Accessing the AP Support Prompt
Depending on your network topology, the built-in AP Support 
prompt can be accessed using the AP serial console port or 
through the Wireless LAN switch using the Serial Over Ethernet 
(SOE) interface or using Telnet from a remote management 
station.
Direct SPOE Connection to Wireless LAN 
Switch
This method requires that the OmniAccess OAW-AP70 is 
connected directly to an SPOE-compatible network port on the 
Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch (see 
1. Telnet to the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch Serial-Over-Ethernet 
(SOE) interface.
Use a Telnet client on your management workstation to connect 
to theAlcatel Wireless LAN Switch IP address using logical port 
2300. The connection command may vary depending on the 
specific software used, but commonly appears as follows:
telnet <Wireless LAN switch IP address> 2300
