Overview of the Controller Command Line
Interface
The Controller command line interface (CLI) is a software tool that enables you to
configure and manage SmartCell Gateway 200, Virtual SmartZone High-Scale and
SmartZone 300. Using the command line interface, you can issue commands from
an operating system prompt, such as the Microsoft Windows command prompt or
a Linux operating system terminal. Each command performs a specific action for
configuring device settings or returning information about the status of a specific
device feature.

Accessing the Command Line Interface

The controller has a built-in command line interface (CLI) that you can use to
configure controller settings and manage access points. This section describes the
requirements and the procedure for accessing the controller CLI.

What You Will Need

To access the controller CLI, you will need the following:
1 A computer that you want to designate as administrative computer
2 A network connection to the controller (if you want to use an SSH connection)
or an RS-232 serial to RJ45 cable (if you want to use a serial connection)
3 An SSH (secure shell) client

Connect the Administrative Computer to the Controller

Connect the administrative computer to controller either through the network or
directly using an RS-232 serial to RJ45 cable.
1 If you want to use an SSH connection, connect the administrative computer to
the same subnet or broadcast domain as the Management (Web) interface of
the controller.
2 If you want to use a serial connection, make sure that both the administrative
computer and the controller are both powered on. And then, do the following:
• Connect the RJ45 end of the cable to the port labeled |O|O| (console port)
on the controller. See
• Connect the RS-232 end of the cable to a COM port on the administrative
computer.
