Access point visiting method and related equipment

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses an access point visiting method and related equipment. The access point visiting method includes the following steps that: a terminal is configured with parameter information which is matched with the parameters of off-line management virtual access points of access points, wherein the parameters of the off-line management virtual access points of the access points and the parameter information of the terminal include wireless visiting modes, service set identifiers, authentication modes, encryption modes and IP addresses; the terminal searches and correlates the off-line management virtual access points according to the parameter information configured for the terminal; and the terminal transmits login information of users to the off-line management virtual access points correlated by the terminal through wireless visiting modes supported by the off-line management virtual access points. With the access point visiting method and the related equipment of the embodiment of the invention adopted, when wireless bridge links of the access points are interrupted, maintenance personnel can still login the access points, and therefore, maintenance on access point links, which is performed by the maintenance personnel, can be ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of wireless communication, in particular to a method for accessing an access point and related equipment. Background technique [0002] Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN, Wireless Local Area Networks) is a data transmission system using wireless space as the medium. It uses radio frequency technology to get rid of the shackles of traditional physical cables, allowing end users to enjoy a wider space for activities. [0003] Wireless distribution system WDS (Wireless Distribution System), connects two or more independent wired LANs or wireless LANs through wireless links, and forms an intercommunicating network to realize data access. The extension of network coverage is usually achieved through wireless bridging between two or more access points. The wireless bridging technology has changed the original single and simple wireless application mode, utilizing the characteristics that the wireless medium itself can als...

Problems solved by technology

However, in the WDS scenario, the access point is no longer subject to any physical medium except for the dependence on the external power supply. The installation position of some leaf nodes is difficult for people to touch. If the wireless bridge link is interrupted, it will not be able to pass through the upper layer. Network remote login (telnet) to the AP, you must wait for the re-association to be successful

However, due to the location of the AP, if the above-mentioned prior art solution is adopted, maintenance personnel will not be able to associate and log in to the AP
