5 Initial Configuration

Note: When using HyperTerminal with Microsoft® Windows® 2000, make sure that you have Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or later installed. Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 fixes the problem of arrow keys not functioning in HyperTerminal’s VT100 emulation. See www.microsoft.com for information on Windows 2000 service packs.

4.Once you have set up the terminal correctly, press the [Enter] key to initiate the console connection. The console login screen will be displayed.

For a description of how to use the CLI, see “Using the Command Line Interface” on page 7-1.For a list of all the CLI commands and detailed information on using the CLI, refer to “Command Groups” on page 7-6.

Initial Configuration Steps

Logging In – Enter “admin” for the user name, and “smcadmin” for the password. The CLI prompt appears displaying the access point’s name.

Username: admin

Password: smcadmin

Enterprise AP#

Setting the IP Address – By default, the access point is configured to obtain IP address settings from a DHCP server. If a DHCP server is not available, the IP address defaults to 192.168.2.2, which may not be compatible with your network. You will therefore have to use the command line interface (CLI) to assign an IP address that is compatible with your network.

Type “configure” to enter configuration mode, then type “interface ethernet” to access the Ethernet interface-configuration mode.

Enterprise AP#configure

Enterprise AP(config)#interface ethernet

Enterprise AP(config-if)#

First type “no ip dhcp” to disable DHCP client mode. Then type “ip address ip-address netmask gateway,” where “ip-address” is the access point’s IP address, “netmask” is the network mask for the network, and “gateway” is the default gateway router. Check with your system administrator to obtain an IP address that is compatible with your network.

Enterprise AP(if-ethernet)#no ip dhcp

Enterprise AP(if-ethernet)#ip address 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.254

Enterprise AP(if-ethernet)#
