The CLI lets you use a VT-100 terminal-emulation program to locally or remotely configure, monitor, and control the wireless controller and its managed access points via a simple text-based, tree-structured interface. The wireless controller supports SSH and Telnet management for command-line interaction. The following procedure describes how to access the CLI: Note: A separately purchased USB-to-DB9Fserial adapter will be helpful when connecting a PC or Linux workstation to the console. An RJ-45-to-DB9M cable is included with the wireless controller. 1. Connect a PC with a VT-100 terminal-emulation program to the Console port on the front panel of the wireless controller. 2. CLI login credentials are shared with the GUI for administrator users. When prompted, type cli in the SSH or console prompt and login with administrator user credentials. For more information, refer to the Wireless Controller CLI Reference Guide: DWC-2000. D-Link DWC-2000 User Manual 255
