Prerequisite Skills and Knowledge

To use this document effectively, you should have a working knowledge of Local Area Networking (LAN) concepts,
network access infrastructures, and client-server relationships. In addition, you should be familiar with software setup
procedures for typical network operating systems and servers.

Notation Conventions

• Computer prompts are displayed in bold constant width type. For example:
• Information that you input is displayed in bold constant width type.
• The names of keyboard keys, software buttons, and field names are displayed in bold type. For example: Click the
Configure button.
• Screen names are displayed in bold italics.

Important Terminology

• Configuration Files - Database files containing the current Access Point configuration. Configuration items include
the IP Address and other network-specific values. Config files may be downloaded to the Access Point or uploaded for
backup or troubleshooting.
• Download vs. Upload - Downloads transfer files to the Access Point. Uploads transfer files from the Access Point.
The TFTP client performs file transfers in both directions.
• Group - A logical collection of network parameter information. For example, the System Group is composed of
several related parameters. Groups can also contain Tables. All items for a given Group can be displayed with a show
<Group> CLI Command.
• Image File - The Access Point software executed from RAM. To update an Access Point you typically download a
new Image File. This file is often referred to as the "AP Image".
• Parameter - A fundamental network value that can be displayed and may be changeable. For example, the Access
Point must have a unique IP Address and the Wireless interface must be assigned an SSID. Change parameters with
the CLI Command Name and Parameter, and view them with the CLI show Command.
