Using the Cable Modem
The MAC address for the unit’s cable modem should have been supplied to
your System Administrator when the unit was installed so that an IP address
could be assigned to it. Contact your system administrator to determine the IP
address to use.
For a detailed procedure, refer to the
BelAir100SN Installation Guide
.
Starting a CLI
Session
Start a Telnet or secure shell (SSH) client and connect to the BelAir100SN IP
address. If you are configuring the BelAir100SN for the first time, you must use
the BelAir100SN default IP address (10.1.1.10). The BelAir100SN prompts you
for your user name and password.
The default super-user account is “root”. The default password is “admin123”.
If the login is successful, the BelAir100SN prompt is displayed. The default
prompt is “#”, if you login as root. Otherwise, the default prompt string is “>”.
Note 1: The terminal session locks after four unsuccessful login attempts. To
unlock the terminal session, you must enter the super-user password.
Note 2: BelAir100SN CLI commands are not case sensitive (uppercase and
lowercase characters are equivalent). However, some command
parameters are case sensitive. For example, passwords and any Service
Set Identifier (SSID) supplied with the
radio
commands are case
sensitive. Also, all parameters of the
syscmd
commands are case
sensitive.
Note 3: Later, you will see that you can configure the BelAir100SN to have
more than one interface with an IP address. For example, you can
configure Virtual LANs and management interfaces each with their
own IP address. If you do this, make sure your Telnet or secure shell
(SSH) connections are to a management interface. This ensures
maximum responsiveness for your session by keeping higher priority
management IP traffic separate from other IP traffic.
