User Manual Part 3

Command Line Interface Reference
The access point Command Line Interface (CLI) is accessed through the serial port or a Telnet session.
The access point CLI follows the same conventions as the Web-based user interface. The CLI does,
however, provide an “escape sequence” to provide diagnostics for problem identification and
resolution.
The CLI treats the following as invalid characters:
| " & , \ ' < >
In order to avoid problems when using the CLI, these characters should be avoided.
8.1 Connecting to the CLI
8.1.1 Accessing the CLI through the Serial Port
To connect to the access point CLI through the serial port:
1. Connect one end of a null modem serial cable to the access point’s serial connector.
2. Attach the other end of the null modem serial cable to the serial port of a PC running
HyperTerminal or a similar emulation program.
3. Set the HyperTerminal program to use 19200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow
control, and auto-detect for terminal emulation.
4. Press <ESC> or <Enter> to enter into the CLI.
5. Enter the default username of admin and the default password of symbol. If this is your first
time logging into the access point, you are unable to access any of the access point’s
commands until the country code is set. A new password will also need to be created.
