CLI Initial Configuration Steps
Setting a Password
Setting the Country
Code
If you are logging in to the CLI for the fist time, you should define management
access passwords for an administrator and guest (used for CLI and web
management), record them, and then keep them in a safe place.
Note:
If you loose your management access passwords, you will need to use the
Reset button on the AP to set the configuration back to factory default values.
Passwords can consist of 5 to 32 alphanumeric characters and are case sensitive. To
prevent unauthorized access to the AP, set the passwords as follows:
Open the console interface to access the CLI prompt. Type "configure" and press
<Enter>. Type "password admin null password, " where "null" is the default old
password, and "password" is your new password. Press <Enter>.
Example
AP#configure
AP(config)#password admin null tpschris
AP(config)#
You must set the country code of the AP to be sure that the radios operate
according to permitted local regulations. That is, setting the country code restricts
operation of the AP to the radio channels and transmit power levels permitted for
wireless networks in the specified country.
Caution:
You must set the country code to the country of operation. Setting the
country code ensures that the radios operate within the local regulations specified
for wireless networks.
Note:
The country code selection is for non-US models only and is not available to
all US models. Per FCC regulation, all Wi-Fi products marketed in the US must be
fixed to US operation channels only.
From the CLI prompt, type "country ?" to display the list of country codes. Select the
code for your country, and enter the command again, following by your country
code (for example., "tw" for Taiwan).
Example
AP#country ?
WORD Country code:
AL-ALBANIA, DZ-ALGERIA, AR-ARGENTINA, AM-ARMENIA, AU-AUSTRALIA,
AT-AUSTRIA, AZ-AZERBAIJAN,
BH-BAHRAIN, BY-BELARUS, BE-BELGIUM, BZ-BELIZE, BO-BOLIVIA,
