Cisco Cisco Aironet 1260 Access Point

You can open the wireless device CLI using Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH). 

Follow these steps to open the CLI with Telnet. These steps are for a PC running Microsoft Windows 
with a Telnet terminal application. Check your PC operating instructions for detailed instructions for 
your operating system.

Select Start > Programs > Accessories > Telnet. 

If Telnet is not listed in your Accessories menu, select Start > Run, type Telnet in the entry field, and 
press Enter. 

In the Telnet window, type open followed by the wireless device IP address, and press Enter.

At the username and password prompts, enter your administrator username and password. The default 
username is Cisco, and the default password is Cisco. The default enable password is also Cisco. 
Usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.

Secure Shell Protocol is a protocol that provides a secure, remote connection to networking devices set 
up to use it. Secure Shell (SSH) is a software package that provides secure login sessions by encrypting 
the entire session. SSH features strong cryptographic authentication, strong encryption, and integrity 
protection. For detailed information on SSH, visit the homepage of SSH Communications Security, Ltd.

SSH provides more security for remote connections than Telnet by providing strong encryption when a 
device is authenticated. SSH versions 1 and 2 are supported in this release. See the 

 for detailed instructions on setting up the wireless 

device for SSH access.
