5. Under File > Properties > Settings > ASCII Setup, enable the Send line ends with line feeds option.
HyperTerminal sends a line return at the end of each line of code.
6. Press the RESET button on the AP.
The terminal display shows Power On Self Tests (POST) activity. After approximately 30 seconds, a message
indicates: Sending Traps to SNMP manager periodically. After this message appears, press the ENTER key
repeatedly until the following prompt appears:
[Device name]>
7. Enter only the following statements:
[Device name]> show (to view configuration parameters and values)
[Device name]> set ipaddrtype static
[Device name]> set ipaddr <Access Point IP Address>
[Device name]> set ipsubmask <IP Mask>
[Device name]> set tftpipaddr <TFTP Server IP Address>
[Device name]> set tftpfilename <AP Image File Name, including file extension>
[Device name]> set ipgw <Gateway IP Address>
[Device name]> show (to confirm your new settings)
[Device name]> reboot
Example:
[Device name]> show
[Device name]> set ipaddrtype static
[Device name]> set ipaddr 10.0.0.12
[Device name]> set ipsubmask 255.255.255.0
[Device name]> set tftpipaddr 10.0.0.20
[Device name]> set tftpfilename MyImage.bin
[Device name]> set ipgw 10.0.0.30
[Device name]> show
[Device name]> reboot
The AP will reboot and then download the image file. You should see downloading activity begin after a few seconds
within the TFTP server’s status screen.
8. When the download process is complete, configure the AP.
Setting IP Address using Serial Port
Use the following procedure to set an IP address over the serial port using the CLI. The network administrator typically
provides the AP IP address.
Hardware and Software Requirements
• Standard straight-through serial data (RS-232) cable with one DB9 connector and one RJ11 connector (not included
with FC units).
• ASCII Terminal software, such as HyperTerminal.
Attaching the Serial Port Cable
1. Connect one end of the serial cable to the AP and the other end to a serial port on your computer.
2. Power on the computer and AP, if necessary.
