Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)
Accessing the CLI
Accessing the CLI
The CLI is accessed through the access point console. You can access the
console out-of-band by directly connecting a terminal device to the access
point, or in-band by using Telnet or a Secure Shell (SSH) client.
N OT E
Out-of-Band Requirements: To emulate the access point system console on
a serial port connection, terminal emulation software needs to be installed on
your PC (such as HyperTerminal or TeraTerm, which is available at http://
www.ayera.com/teraterm).
In-Band Requirements: To emulate the access point system console
through an in-band connection, Telnet or SSH software needs to be installed
on your PC (such as PUTTY, which is available at http://
www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/).
Direct Console Access
To connect a console directly to the access point, use a null-modem cable or
an HP serial cable, part number 5184-1894 (shipped with many HP ProCurve
switches)
.
Connect the serial cable between a VT-100 terminal or a PC terminal
emulator and the access point’s Console port. Configure either one to operate
with these settings:
• If using a PC terminal emulator, configure it as a DEC VT-100 (ANSI)
terminal.
• Port is COM1 (COM1 is the standard port, however, your PC might
use a different COM port (e.g. COM2)
• 9600 baud (default is set to 9600)
• 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, parity set to None, and flow control set to None.
• For the Windows Terminal program, also disable (uncheck) the “Use
Function, Arrow, and Ctrl Keys for Windows” option.
• For the HyperTerminal program, select the “Terminal keys” option for
the “Function, arrow, and ctrl keys act as” parameter.
H i n t
To clear unreadable console messages, change the Baud rate.
For example, on TeraTerm: (1) Access "Control" menu and select "Reset"
terminal, (2) Change Baud rate, and if necessary, (3) Access "Setup" menu ,
select "Window" and change the "Scroll buffer" value.
