device manually.
Introduction
Manual configuration of C-65 is typically required in the following cases:
•
Devices cannot connect to the server through zero-configuration.
•
Device needs to be configured in the ND mode.
•
Sensor Only (SO) devices cannot connect to the server through zero-configuration. The DNS entry for the
server has been changed to an entry other than wifi-security-server or a DNS server is not present in
the network. This is applicable for multi-server installations.
•
Device is placed on a subnet that is not DHCP enabled.

Configuring AP through Config Shell

The Config Shell supports a pre-defined set of commands used to configure the C-65 device. Log in to the device
console using the SSH shell.
The steps to configure the device manually through the SSH shell are as follows:

1. Log in and change the default password

2. Set Server Discovery

3. Configure Network Settings
Log in and Change the Default Password
Log in to the Config Shell using the user name config and password config. Change the default password using
the passwd command. You can change the device password using device templates. Refer to Device Template
section under the Administration Tab chapter, in the Users' Guide for more details.
Although not mandatory, as a best practice we recommend that you change the default password.

Set Server Discovery
The next step is to set the server discovery information. The following are the types of server discovery:
•
Server IP based discovery (preferred)
•
Service Location Protocol (SLP) based discovery (if wifi-security-server service has been configured)
Use the set server discovery command to point the AP device to the correct server.
