Comparison of Settings Configurable with the CLI and
Web UI
The command line interface (CLI) and the Web user interface (UI) to the AT-TQ2403 Management
Software are designed to suit the preferences and requirements for different types of users or scenarios.
Most administrators will probably use both UIs in different contexts. Some features (such as Clustering)
can only be configured from the Web UI and, conversely, some details and more complex configurations
are only available through the CLI.
The CLI is particularly useful in that it provides an interface to which you can write programmatic scripts
for AP configurations. Finally, the CLI may be less resource-intensive than a Web interface.
Note: When you write programmatic scripts for AP configuratio
ns, suggest adding delay
time for 3 seconds between every command.
For example:
1. sendln "set interface wlan0 ssid r1vlan1"
2. wait "AT-TQ2403#"
3. pause 3
4. sendln "set interface wlan1 ssid r2vlan1"
5. wait "AT-TQ2403#"
6. pause 3
The following table shows a feature-by-feature comparison of which settings can be configured through
the CLI or the Web UI, and which are configurable with either.
