Step 2 The CLI displays the root level system prompt:
#(system prompt)>
The system prompt can be any alphanumeric string up to 31 characters. You can change it by
entering the config prompt command. For example, to change the system prompt to
CISCO2504, enter config prompt "CISCO2504" and press Enter. Make sure you enter the
new prompt using double quotation marks.
Note The CLI automatically logs out without saving any changes after 5 minutes of
inactivity. You can set the automatic logout from 0 (never log out) to 160 minutes
using the config serial timeout command.
6 Connecting to the Network
Figure 13 shows the connection from the network (802.11 distribution system) to the controller. The
connection uses 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet (RJ-45 physical port, UTP, Category-5 or higher cable).
Always use Category-5, Category-5e, Category-6, or Category-7 Ethernet cables to connect the office
network equipment to the controller.
