3.4 Shell prompt access

Shell prompt access may be needed for advanced controlling operations that cannot be performed by using the

WWW interface. You can get to the shell prompt by using SSH. When you are connected to the same LAN

network with your Access Server or Access Point, you can find its IP address using uPnP or wrapfinder

application (see ).Getting started with Bluegiga Access Device

You can use SSH to get shell prompt access also using Bluetooth LAN Access or PAN profile. Access Devices

can be seen in Bluetooth inquiries as "Wserialno_n", where "serialno" is the serial number of the device and "n"

is the number of the Bluetooth baseband in question (model 2293 and AX4 have three Bluetooth basebands,

any of which can be connected).

After you have connected to the server (no PIN code, username or password is needed), establish an SSH

connection to the device at the other end of the connection. Again, you can use the application towrapfinder

find the IP address.

Bluetooth LAN Access and PAN profiles are disabled by default. Use the WWW interface to enable them, if needed. The

PAN profile can also be enabled by sending the file (available on-line at enable-pan.noarch.wpk

) to Access Device by using Bluetooth Object Push profile orhttp://update.bluegiga.com/as/4.3/misc/enable-pan.noarch.wpk

by inserting a USB memory dongle with the file in its root directory to Access Device's USB port.

3.4.1 Management console (Access Server 229x only)

If you do not have a Bluetooth LAN/PAN client and if Access Server is not connected to your LAN, or if you do

not know the IP address given to Access Server, you can get the first shell prompt access by using the

management console. The management console is only needed to change the network configuration settings if

you cannot configure the network by using DHCP or Zeroconf. The management console is connected to

Access Server with a serial cable. After you have configured the network settings by using the management

console, all further controlling activities can be performed remotely using SSH sessions over ethernet or

Bluetooth LAN/PAN connection.

To setup the management console, proceed as follows:

Have a PC with a free COM port.

Power off Access Server.

Configure your terminal application, such as in Windows, to use the settings below forHyperTerminal

your computer's free COM port

Connect the serial cable shipped with Access Server to your PC's free COM port.

Connect the serial cable to the management (user) port in Access Server (see Figure 1-2).

Power on Access Server.

Enter letter in the terminal application during the first five seconds.b

The management console is now activated and you can see the boot log in your terminal window.
