A
Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)
This section describes the AP’s Command Line (CLI) Interface. CLI commands can be used to initialize, configure, and
manage the Access Point.
– CLI commands may be entered in real time through a keyboard or submitted with CLI scripts.
– A CLI Batch file is a user-editable configuration file that provides a user-friendly way to change the AP
configuration through a file upload. The CLI Batch file is an ASCII file that facilitates Auto Configuration
because it does not require the user to access one of the AP’s management interfaces to make configuration
changes as is required with the proprietary TLV format configuration file.
– The CLI is available through both the Serial Port interface and over the Ethernet interface using Telnet.
NOTE
All CLI commands and parameters are case-sensitive.
