3.2 Configuration Options
Once installed and powered, the AP-5131 can be configured using one of several connection
techniques. Managing the AP-5131 includes viewing network statistics and setting configuration
options. The AP-5131 requires one of the following connection methods to manage the network:
• Secure Java-Based WEB UI - (use Sun Microsystems’ JRE 1.5 or higher available from Sun’s
Web site. Disable Microsoft’s Java Virtual Machine if installed). For information on using the
Web UI to set AP-5131 default configuration values, see Basic Device Configuration on page
3-5 or chapters 4 through 7 of this guide.
• Command Line Interface (CLI) via Serial, Telnet and SSH. The AP-5131 CLI is accessed
through the AP-5131 RS232 port, via Telnet or SSH. The CLI follows the same configuration
conventions as the device user interface with a few documented exceptions. For details on
using the CLI to manage the AP-5131, see Appendix 8, Command Line Interface Reference
on page 8-1.
• Config file - Readable text file; Importable/Exportable via FTP, TFTP and HTTP. Configuration
settings for an AP-5131 can be downloaded from the current configuration of another AP-
5131 meeting the import/export requirements. For information on importing or exporting
configuration files, see Importing/Exporting Configurations on page 4-37.
• MIB (Management Information Base) accessing the AP-5131 SNMP functions using a MIB
Browser. The AP-5131 CDROM contains the following 2 MIB files:
• Symbol-CC-WS2000-MIB-2.0 (standard Symbol MIB file)
• Symbol-AP-5131-MIB (AP-5131 specific MIB file)
