Proxim AP-2000 Configuring the AP using CLI commands, Using Strings, Log into the AP using Telnet

Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)

Using Strings

Since there are several string objects supported by the AP, a string delimiter is required for the strings to be interpreted correctly by the command line parser. For this CLI implementation, the single quote or double quote character can be used at the beginning and at the end of the string.

For example:

[Device-Name]>set sysname Lobby - Does not need quote marks [Device-Name]>set sysname “Front Lobby” - Requires quote marks.

The scenarios supported by this CLI are:

“My Desk in the office” ‘My Desk in the office’ “My ‘Desk’ in the office” ‘My “Desk” in the office’ “Daniel’s Desk in the office” ‘Daniel”s Desk in the office’

Double Quotes

The string delimiter does not have to be used for every string object. The single quote or double quote only has to be used for string objects that contain blank space characters. If the string object being used does not contain blank spaces, then the string delimiters, single or double quotes, mentioned in this section are not required.

Configuring the AP using CLI commands

Log into the AP using HyperTerminal

1.Open your terminal emulation program (like HyperTerminal) and set the following connection properties:

•Com Port: <COM1, COM2, etc., depending on your computer>

•Baud rate: 9600

•Data Bits: 8

•Stop bits: 1

•Flow Control: None

•Parity: None

2.Under File -> Properties -> Settings -> ASCII Setup, enable the Send line ends with line feeds option. Result: HyperTerminal sends a line return at the end of each line of code.

3.Enter the CLI password (default is public).

NOTE

Proxim recommends changing your default passwords immediately. To perform this operation using CLI commands, refer to Change Passwords.

Log into the AP using Telnet

The CLI commands can be used to access, configure, and manage the AP using Telnet. Follow these steps:

1.Confirm that your computer’s IP address is in the same IP subnet as the AP.

NOTE

If you have not previously configured the Access Point’s IP address and do not have a DHCP server on the network, the Access Point will default to an IP address of 10.0.0.1.

2.Go to the DOS command prompt on your computer.

3.Type telnet <IP Address of the unit>.

4.Enter the CLI password (default is public).
