I’m looking for the process on how to SSH from a mikrotik router to an Alta Labs AP. I cannot figure it out.
We only allow SSH keys for auth, so you would need to add the keys to your MikroTik device.
Probably not needed for you, but HERE is our article on creating and adding SSH keys for Alta devices.
Not sure which docs will be useful from the MT side, but here are a couple I find by a quick search: SSH client, and use to execute commands. I only quickly read those, so they may not be helpful.
Alternatively from a computer you could just use the web terminal found on manage.alta.inc to access the AP via shell. This feature is still in beta, but generally works well, go to Network and Shift+Click on the (literal) name of the AP, and the web terminal will open. No keys required when going this way. Do note that this would just allow shell command access, web terminal does not have scp capabilities (that would require setting up SSH keys, and directly accessing).
EDIT: add slight details about web terminal
