D-Link UAP CLI Command Reference Accessing the DWL-x600AP CLI Section 1: Accessing the DWL-x600AP CLI You can use any of the following methods to access the CLI for the access point or wireless network: • Serial Port Connection to the AP • Telnet Connection to the AP • SSH Connection to the AP Serial Port Connection to the AP You can create a direct physical connection into the access point by connecting a cable from a laptop or desktop PC to a serial port on the access point. Then, using terminal emulation software on your PC, you can access the AP system console. To emulate the AP system console on a serial port connection, you will need to have terminal emulation software installed on your PC, such as HyperTerminal or TeraTerm. Use the following steps to set up the serial port connection, configure the terminal emulation software, and access the CLI. 1. Using a null-modem cable, connect a VT100/ANSI terminal or a workstation to the console (serial) port. - If you attached a PC, Apple, or UNIX workstation, start a terminal-emulation program, such as HyperTerminal or TeraTerm. 2. Configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following settings: • Baud rate: 115200 bps • Data bits: 8 • Parity: none • Stop bit: 1 • Flow control: none Note: By default, the serial port baud rate is 115200. You can also configure the serial port to use a baud rate of 9600, 19200, 28400, or 57600 from the Web interface Basic Settings page or by using the set serial baud-rate rate command. 3. Press the return key, and a login prompt should appear. - The login name is admin, and the default password is admin. - After a successful login, the screen shows the (Access Point Name)# prompt. You are now ready to enter CLI commands at the command line prompt. D-Link November 7, 2011 Unified Wired and Wireless Access System Page 11
