Accessing the Command Line Interface
Ethernet Port
To use the CLI through the Ethernet port, you must have a telnet program, the CLI password, and the unit’s IP address.
To access the unit through Ethernet on a Windows PC:
1.Open a DOS command window: from the Windows Start menu, select Run; enter cmd.
2.In the DOS window displayed, enter the IP address (for example, telnet 10.0.0.1).
3.Click OK to start the telnet program; you are prompted for your password.
4.Enter the password (the default password is public).
Serial Port
In some cases, it may not be possible to retrieve the unit’s IP address. In this case, you can connect to the serial port by connecting to the unit through the serial port. You still need the CLI password of the unit. Proxim recommends you power off the radio and the computer before connecting or disconnecting the serial cable.
To access the unit through the serial port:
1.Start your terminal program.
2.Set the following connection properties; then connect:
COM port: | such as COM1 or COM2, to which the unit’s serial |
| port is connected |
Bits per second: | 9600 |
Data bits: | 8 |
Stop bit: | 1 |
Flow control: | None |
Parity: | None |
Line ends: | Carriage return with line feed |
3.Disconnect and reconnect power to reset the unit. The terminal emulation program displays Power On Self Test (POST) messages. After approximately one minute (four minutes if DFS is enabled), you are prompted for your password.
4.Enter the default password public.
