This document describes the use of Command Line Interface, here in after referred as CLI through SSH to access the Access Point parameters, configuration and offers several troubleshooting tools. Currently, the guide applies to QN-I-200, QN-I-220, QN-O-230 and QN-H-220 models only.

Prerequisites In order to access device using CLI, SSH supported utility is required. CLI access is operating system independent. You may use Windows® or MAC® or Linux®. The command terminal should support SSH. In Windows®, you may use third party application like Putty whereas the MAC® and Linux® command terminals already support SSH.
Page 5
Step 2: On first connection from Windows® using Putty, click “Yes” to accept host key. Step 3: Enter the username and password defined during Site creation in Cloud Controller and press Enter.
Page 6
Step 4: You are successfully logged into Access Point with command prompt as “QNTM”. You may execute CLI commands now. For Linux® and Apple®devices, SSH is, by default, supported. In usual cases any third party application is not required.

Using Apple® Platform? We used an Apple® Macbook with macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.4 to brief commands ahead. Feel free to consult for updated versions issued ahead. Step 1: Start Terminal and execute below SSH command followed by Enter key (For test scenario we used 192.168.25.6 as the assigned IP address to Access Point).

Step 3: Please enter the password as defined to access the Access Point during Site creation in Cloud Controller and press Enter. Step 4: You are successfully logged into Access Point with command prompt as “QNTM”(Device Name). You may execute CLI commands now.
