Using the Internal Command Console to Configure the Serial Device Server

You may skip this section if you have completely configured the SX-500 using the SX-500 Internal Web Pages.

The Internal Command Console is a command line oriented method for configuring the Serial Device Server. It provides more comprehensive capabilities than the Internal Web Pages, but is not as easy to use. Advanced users may prefer to use this method because it is concise, fast, and powerful.

To use the Internal Command Console:

1.To access the Internal Command Console, enter the following command from the Windows Command Prompt (MS-DOS Prompt), Mac OS X Terminal Utility, or UNIX/Linux command line:

telnet aa.bb.cc.dd

where aa.bb.cc.dd is the IP address of the Serial Device Server (for example, telnet 192.168.5.6).

2.Press <ENTER> and then enter the password (the default value is access) at the # prompt. Press <ENTER> at the Enter Username> prompt. When you see the Local> prompt, you can enter console commands.

3.If you used the default 192.0.0.192 IP address to connect to the Serial Device Server, you MUST change it to a new valid IP address. If necessary, you must also change the Subnet Mask and Router (Gateway). The commands are as follows:

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 Serial Device Server. 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 used in

 

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, or TLS].
