C H A P T E R
The access point Command Line Interface (CLI) is accessed through the serial port or a Telnet session. The
access point CLI follows the same conventions as the Web-based user interface. The CLI does, however,
provide an "escape sequence" to provide diagnostics for problem identification and resolution.
NOTE
The CLI commands described in this guide pertain equally to both the Altitude 4710 and Altitude 4750
Access Points.
The CLI treats the following as invalid characters:
< > | " & \ ?
In order to avoid problems when using the CLI, these characters should be avoided.

Connecting to the CLI

Accessing the CLI through the Serial Port

To connect to the access point CLI through the serial port:
1 Connect one end of a null modem serial cable to the access point's serial connector.
2 Attach the other end of the null modem serial cable to the serial port of a PC running
HyperTerminal or a similar emulation program.
3 Set the HyperTerminal program to use 19200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control,
and auto-detect for terminal emulation.
4 Press <ESC> or <Enter> to enter into the CLI.
5 Enter the default username of admin and the default password of admin123. If this is your first time
logging into the access point, you are unable to access any of the access point's commands until the
country code is set. A new password will also need to be created.
