Description

Related CLI Command

#>freq 3

This command will change the channel of the AP to
3. Use the antenna command to select an antenna
polarization.

antenna [<h | v |e>]

Broadcast Packet Filter

This software switch (0)
enables/disables the blocking
of Ethernet control packets,
except ICMP and ARP, to
reduce the amount of
unnecessary overhead
introduced into the wireless
link. Default setting is ON.

sw 0 [<on|off>]

Example:

#>sw 0 on

AP Autoscan

This software switch (1) is to
turn AP autoscan on or off.

sw 1 [<on|off>]

(default is on)

TCP/IP for AP

This software switch (2)
when on, allows users at the
AP side of the network to
telnet or HTTP into the SU.

sw 2 [<on|off>]

(default is on)

Example:

#>sw 2 off

TCP/IP for Local
Ethernet Port

This software switch (6)
when on, allows users on the
wired side of the SU to telnet
or HTTP into the SU
regardless of the Opmode.

sw 6 [<on|off>]

(default is on)

Remarks User

name, address of installation,
and so on). A maximum of
28 characters can be stored.
