Datasheet

2. When the SX-550 is powered on, you will see some information about the firmware versions and

commands. The SX-550 is set by default to use DHCP to obtain the IP address automatically. If

you want to set the IP address manually, enter the following commands:

SET IP ADDRESS aa.bb.cc.dd

SET IP SUBNET aa.bb.cc.dd

SET IP ROUTER aa.bb.cc.dd

where aa.bb.cc.dd is the IP address of the SX-550. You can use the command SHOW IP to

verify the IP address settings.

3. Enter the basic wireless settings as follows:

SET NW SSID <name> [where <name> is the SSID for your network]

SET NW MODE <mode> [where mode is INFRASTRUCTURE or

AD-HOC]

SET NW CHANNEL n [where n is 1 to 11; this is only required for

AD-HOC MODE]

4. Use the appropriate SET NW command to set wireless encryption mode and authentication type

(check with your network administrator for the proper settings if you do not know them):

SET NW ENC <mode> [sets encryption mode, where <mode> is WPA, WPA2,

64, 128, or WPA2-WPA]

SET NW AUTHTYPE <type> [sets authentication type, where <type> is OPEN,

SHARED, TTLS, PEAP, WPA-PSK, LEAP, TLS,

or FAST].

For WPA2-PSK or WPA, enter the command:

SET NW WPAPSK <psk> [sets pre-shared key for WPA2 or WPA, where <psk> is

the key]

SET NW WPAGROUP <state> [enables or disables WPA group key mode, where

<state> is ENABLED or DISABLED; default is

DISABLED]

For WEP (WEP64 or WEP128), use the following commands:

SET NW KEYVAL <key> [Sets WEP key, where <key> is 10 hex characters for

WEP64 or 26 hex characters for WEP128]

SET NW KEY# n [sets the number of the WEP key that will be used as the

transmit key, where n=1 to 4; default value is 1]

Configuring 802.1X EAP authentication can be complex. Please refer to Appendix A and/or

Appendix B for details of the required commands.

5. To set the serial port, enter the following commands:

SET PORT S1 SPEED <baudrate> [where <baudrate> is 300 to 921600]

SET PORT S1 PARITY <parity> [where <parity> is ODD, EVEN, MARK, or

SPACE]

SET PORT S1 SIZE <databits> [where <databits> is 7 or 8]
