Important Terminology
• Config 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 server 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” 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 Radio PC Cards must know which channel to use. Change
parameters with the CLI set Command, and view them with the CLI show Command
• Table - Tables hold parameters for several related items. For example, you can add several potential managers to
the SNMP Table. All items for a given Table can be displayed with a show CLI Command. •TFTP - Refers to the TFTP Server, used for file transfers.Navigation and Special KeysThis CLI supports the following navigation and special key functions to move the cursor along the prompt line.Key CombinationOperationDelete or BackspaceDelete previous characterCtrl-AMove cursor to beginning of lineCtrl-EMove cursor to end of lineCtrl-FMove cursor forward one characterCtrl-BMove cursor back one characterCtrl-DDelete the character the cursor is onCtrl-UDelete all text to left of cursorCtrl-PGo to the previous line in the history bufferCtrl-NGo to the next line in the history bufferTabComplete the command line?List available commands Pages: 1 … 183 184 185 186 187 … 250 wrong Brand wrong Model non readable See also other documents in the category Proxim Hardware: ORiNOCO AP-700 (242 pages) AP-4000 (235 pages) Stratum (4 pages) ORINOCO AP-2000 (244 pages) TSUNAMI MP.11 5012-SUR (24 pages) Sitemap
