Setting up connection methods used to configure
base stations
The Expedience system allows you to connect to a base station using many methods:
• Terminal emulation over a serial line
•Telnet
•Web server
•SNMP server
Before you can use a particular method to connect to the base station, you must configure its
connection.
To configure the base station initially, you will most likely use a serial connection and a
terminal emulation session. Terminal emulation allows access through a direct RS-232
connection from a personal computer to the base station.
Setting up terminal emulation access
The terminal emulation connection is a physical RS-232 cable connection, between the base
station and a PC. Once the connection is set up, you can use a program—such as
Hyperterminal under the Windows operating system—to configure and communicate with
the base station.
Terminal emulation connection settings
To set up a terminal emulation connection:
1 Use these settings:
• 19.2k baud
• 8 data bits
•No parity
• 1 stop bit
• no flow control
2 To test the connection, from an NNOS command prompt, issue an airping command, or
the NNOS command of your choice.
Setting up Telnet access
To set up your system to use Telnet to access a base station:
1 Using your Term connection, at the NNOS command prompt, issue the following
command to enable Telnet:
set telnet state enabled
2 If you want to change the default port on which the Telnet server listens:
set telnet port {portnumber}
The factory default is 23.
