Bootloader CLI
The Bootloader CLI is a minimal subset of the normal CLI used to perform initial configuration of the AP. This interface is
only accessible via the serial interface if the AP does not contain a software image or a download image command over
TFTP has failed.
The Bootloader CLI provides you with the ability to configure the initial setup parameters as well as download a software
image to the device.
The Bootloader CLI supports the following functions:
• factory_reset: Restore the factory settings
• help: Print Online Help
• reboot: Reboot the device
• set: Set the parameters
• show: Show the parameters
The parameters supported by the Bootloader CLI (for viewing and modifying) are:
• ipaddr: IP Address
• systemname: System Name
• gatewayip: Gateway IP Address
• serverip: Server IP Address
• ipaddrtype: IP Address Type
• netmask: Net Mask
• filename: AP Image file name
If the Bootloader fails to load the image from flash, then it tries to get the image from the network. The default
configuration of the bootloader parameters are as follows:
If you want to load the image from the network, you can either:
1. Configure the device with the Scantool or
2. Entering into bootloader CLI with the serial interface
If the ipaddrtype is set to dynamic, run the BOOTP Server also. The device will get the IP address and Boot filename
from the BOOTP server. You need not to change any of the above parameters.
After BOOTP is succeeded, the device will initiate a TFTP request with the filename it gets from BOOTP.
