User’s Guide, WhereLAN III draft D1675 rev F

Zebra Confidential

Hyperterminal via Serial Port

Communication Parameters:

• Null-modem cable, 9-pin female to 9-pin female

• 19200 baud, RS-232c

• 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no hardware flow control

HyperTerminal may be used to configure the sensor before connecting it to a

network with a DHCP server, or when a rare fault occurs during the first stage

of the boot process, or if visibility to the boot process is needed for debugging

installation problems.

WhereLAN III supports Secure Shell (SSH), SSH2 being preferred over

SSH1. Either the IP address or host name of the unit must be known in order

to establish an SSH session.

An SSH session may be established using a freely available application called

OpenSSH (supplied by your Zebra Professional Services staff or visit

http://openssh.com for further details, but requires the ssh_zebra_rsa_key

available from Professional Services). Alternatively, other applications, such

as PuTTY, may be used as well, but will require the conversion on the

ssh_zebra_rsa_key into the appropriate format.

To establish the SSH session, you must use Zebra-supplied key, called

“ssh_host_rsa_key” and the “blowfish” passphrase.

The following section shows how to use the OpenSSH application.
