Appendix A: The Command Line Interface
Appendix Contents
This section describes the AP's Command Line (CLI) Interface. CLI commands can be used to
initialize, configure, and manage the Access Point.
CLI commands may be entered in real time through a keyboard or submitted with CLI scripts.
After entering commands, press the Enter key to execute the command.
A CLI Batch file is a user-editable configuration file that provides a user-friendly way to change
the AP configuration through a file upload. The CLI Batch file is an ASCII file that facilitates Auto
Configuration because it does not require the user to access one of the AP's management
interfaces to make configuration changes as is required with the proprietary LTV format
configuration file.
The CLI is available through both the Serial Port interface and over the Ethernet interface using
Telnet.
Note:
All CLI commands and parameters are case-sensitive.
