USING THE COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
ACCESSING THE CLI
When accessing the management interface for the over a direct connection to
the console port, or via a Telnet connection, the access point can be managed by
entering command keywords and parameters at the prompt. Using the access
point’s command-line interface (CLI) is very similar to entering commands on a
UNIX system.
CONSOLE CONNECTION
To access the access point through the console port, perform these steps:
1. At the console prompt, enter the user name and password. (The default user
name is “admin” and the default password is “password”) When the user
name is entered, the CLI displays the “Outdoor 11a Building to Building #”
prompt.
2. Enter the necessary commands to complete your desired tasks.
3. When finished, exit the session with the “exit” command.
After connecting to the system through the console port, the login screen
displays:
Username: admin
Password:
Outdoor 11a Building to Building #
NOTE: Command examples shown later in this chapter abbreviate the console
prompt to “AP” for simplicity.
