CLI Reference
The AP35xx Command Line Interface (CLI) is accessed through the serial port or a Telnet session. The
AP35xx CLI follows the same conventions as the Web-based user interface. The CLI does, however,
provide an “escape sequence” to provide diagnostics for problem identification and resolution.
The CLI treats the following as invalid characters:
-> space < > | " & , \ ?
In order to avoid problems when using the CLI, these characters should be avoided.
Connecting to the CLI
Accessing the CLI through the Serial Port
To connect to the AP35xx CLI through the serial port:
1 Connect one end of a null modem serial cable to the AP35xx’s serial connector.
NOTE
If using an Altitude 3510 model access point, a null modem cable is required. If using an Altitude 3550
model access point, an RJ-45 to Serial cable is required to make the connection.
2 Attach the other end of the null modem serial cable to the serial port of a PC running
HyperTerminal or a similar emulation program.
3 Set the HyperTerminal program to use 19200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control,
and auto-detect for terminal emulation.
4 Press <ESC> or <Enter> to enter into the CLI.
5 Enter the default username of admin and the default password of admin123. If this is your first time
logging into the access point, you are unable to access any of the access point’s commands until the
country code is set. A new password will also need to be created.
