1	USING THE COMMAND-LINE
	INTERFACE

	Mobility System Software (MSS) operates a 3Com Mobility System
	wireless LAN (WLAN) consisting of 3Com Wireless Switch Manager
	software, Wireless LAN Switches (WX1200 or WXR100), Wireless LAN
	Controllers (WX4400 or WX2200), and Managed Access Points (MAPs).
	MSS has a command-line interface (CLI) on a WX switch that you can use
	to configure and manage the switch and its attached MAPs.
Overview	You configure the WX switch and MAPs primarily with set, clear, and
	display commands. Use set commands to change parameters. Use clear
	commands to reset parameters to their defaults. In many cases, you can
	overwrite a parameter with another set command. Use display
	commands to display the current configuration and monitor the status of
	network operations.

The WX switch supports two connection modes:

„Administrative access mode, which enables the network administrator to connect to the WX and configure the network

„Network access mode, which enables network users to connect through the WX to access the network
