Cisco Aironet 1242AG Information

[jnihart01]

     I'm currently trying to set up a wireless repeater for use in the warehouse section of a business site.  However, due to the AP being hidden/unbroadcasted, I need to get various bits of information from the setup page of the AP device.  While I was able to get most of it (SSID, type of security/encryption, etc.), I can't seem to find information about what channel the AP uses anywheres.  I would appreciate any information I could get that would point me in the right direction.  Thanks!

I'd have to ask, what standard do these commands follow?  Are these commands for a telnet, cmd, etc.?

Hi Jordan,

You can telnet to the AP and issue above commands. Also you could try this from access point console through hyper terminal.

You should be able to see some output like below and you will have to consentrate on the bold letters for the information you want
