AirLive WHA-5500CPE User’s Manual

Command Line Interface (Telnet): WHA-5500CPE can be managed through the
command line interface (CLI). It is possible to write a text script file, and then paste
it into the CLI to execute several commands at once. However, Telnet does not
encrypt its message. Therefore, it is not secure. The default Telnet management
port is TCP port 23.

To use the CLI, please open the command line window. Then type “telnet
192.168.1.1” to start.

When asked for password, please enter “airlive”.

To get a list of available command and their usage, please type “help” on the
command prompt.
