Mode Commands
MR
Purpose: Displays the manufacturing record for the access point. Use the MR command to display the MAC address, configuration string, and serial number for your access point.
Syntax: MR
SR
Purpose: Sets the baud rate of the access point.
Syntax: SR z
where z is the baud rate. You must enter the baud rate as a whole number with no commas. For example, to enter a baud rate of 19,200, you must enter 19200.
You can also set the baud rate to autobaud, which lets the access point set its baud rate to match the baud rate of your wireless end device. Type SR 0 and press Enter twice.
You may need to use CAM commands to perform certain functions. Since the Ethernet port on the access points supports data rates significantly higher than the radio ports, all frames cannot be forwarded from the Ethernet network to the radios. CAM, which is controlled by the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), filters frames based on the radio’s capability.
Because the commands can cause undesirable results if not properly executed, you should contact Technical Support for assistance if you are unsure about the proper procedure to use.
To enter CAM mode
1.Type CAM and press Enter.
2.Enter a password. The default password is EV98203C (case sensitive).
When you are in CAM mode, the CAM prompt (CAM>) appears.
To exit CAM mode
At the CAM prompt, type X and press Enter. You return to the ap prompt.
