2.If you are connected to Serial Port 3, you will see some information about the firmware versions and copyright notices displayed on the terminal (skip to the next step if you are connected to Serial Port 2). Enter admin when you get the login: prompt, and then enter the password access. Then enter the command console in response to the Linux # prompt.

Note: Early versions of the SX-560 firmware require you to login as root with the password access, and to enter command

./console to access the console.

3.When you see the Local> prompt, you can enter commands (note that this command may take up to 30 seconds to appear if you are using Serial Port 2). The SX-560 is set by default to use DHCP to obtain the IP address automatically. If you want to set the IP address manually, enter the following commands:

SET IP ADDRESS aa.bb.cc.dd

SET IP SUBNET aa.bb.cc.dd

SET IP ROUTER aa.bb.cc.dd

where aa.bb.cc.dd is the IP address of the SX-560. You can use the command SHOW IP to verify the IP address settings.

4. Enter the basic wireless settings as follows:

SET NW SSID <name>	[where <name> is the SSID for your network]
SET NW MODE <mode>	[where mode is INFRASTRUCTURE or
	AD-HOC]
SET NW CHANNEL n	[where n is 1 to 11; this is only required for
	AD-HOC MODE]

5.Use the appropriate SET NW command to set wireless encryption mode and authentication type (check with your network administrator for the proper settings if you do not know them):

SET NW ENC <mode>	[sets encryption mode, where <mode> is WPA,
	WPA2, 64, 128, or WPA2-WPA]
SET NW AUTHTYPE <type>	[sets authentication type, where <type> is
	OPEN, SHARED, TTLS, PEAP, WPA-PSK,
	LEAP, TLS, or FAST].
For WPA2-PSK or WPA, enter the command:
SET NW WPAPSK <psk>	[sets pre-shared key for WPA2 or WPA, where
	<psk> is the key]
SET NW WPAGROUP <state>	[enables or disables WPA group key mode,
	where <state> is ENABLED or DISABLED;
	default is DISABLED]
For WEP (WEP64 or WEP128), use the following commands:
SET NW KEYVAL <key>	[Sets WEP key, where <key> is 10 hex
	characters for WEP64 or 26 hex characters for
	WEP128]
SET NW KEY# n	[sets the number of the WEP key that will be
	used as the transmit key, where n=1 to 4; default
	value is 1]
