200 BLACK BOX ® Advanced Console Server
There is a generic sample in the end of the wireless.opts file that explains all possible settings.
For more details in wireless configuration, search for manpage iwconfig on the Internet. The
parameters in wireless.opts are used by the iwconfig utility. After changing any of the param-
eters, run cardctl eject followed by cardctl insert to load the new settings. Also, run saveconf
to save the new settings to flash. iwconfig eth1shows the basic wireless parameters set in
eth1. iwlist allows to list frequencies, bit-rates, encryption, etc. The usage is:
iwlist eth1 frequency
iwlist eth1 channel
iwlist eth1 ap
iwlist eth1 accesspoints
iwlist eth1 bitrate
iwlist eth1 rate
iwlist eth1 encryption
iwlist eth1 key
iwlist eth1 power
iwlist eth1 txpower
iwlist eth1 retry
Modem PC Cards
The modem device gets the /dev/ttySn name, where n is the number of embedded serial
devices plus 1. For instance, if the BLACK BOX ® Advanced Console Server has 32 onboard
serial devices, the modem card becomes the /dev/ttyS33.
Note: The "s:" prefix in the KEY line indicates that the key is an ASCII string, as
opposed to hex digits. Five characters or ten digits could be entered for WEP
40-bit and 13 characters or 26 digits could be entered for WEP 128-bit.
