Configuring the Device Using CLI Commands

Log into the AP using HyperTerminal

1. Open your terminal emulation program (like HyperTerminal) and set the following connection properties:
• Com Port: <COM1, COM2, etc., depending on your computer>
• Baud rate: 115200
• Data Bits: 8
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow Control: None
• Parity: None
2. Under File > Properties > Settings > ASCII Setup, enable the Send line ends with line feeds option.
HyperTerminal sends a line return at the end of each line of code.
3. Enter the CLI password (default username is admin and password is public).

Log into the AP using Telnet

The CLI commands can be used to access, configure, and manage the AP using Telnet. Follow these steps:
1. Confirm that your computer's IP address is in the same IP subnet as the AP.
NOTE: If you have not previously configured the Access Point's IP address and do not have a DHCP server on
the network, the Access Point will default to an IP address of 169.254.128.132.
2. Go to the DOS command prompt on your computer.
3. Type telnet <IP Address of the unit>.
4. Enter the CLI's default username and password, (default username is admin and password is public).
Proxim recommends changing your default passwords immediately. To perform this operation using CLI commands.
