Configuring the Serial Device Server
Part Number 140-00188-180
telnet aa.bb.cc.dd
where aa.bb.cc.dd is the IP address of the Serial Device Server (for example, telnet 192.168.5.6).
2. Press <ENTER> and then enter the password access at the # prompt. Press <ENTER> at the
Enter Username> prompt. When you see the Local> prompt, you can enter console commands.
3. If you used the default 192.0.0.192 IP address to connect to the Serial Device Server, you MUST
change it to a new valid IP address. If necessary, you must also change the Subnet Mask and
Router (Gateway). The commands are as follows:
SET IP ADDRESS aa.bb.cc.dd
SET IP SUBNET aa.bb.cc.dd
SET IP ROUTER aa.bb.cc.dd
where aa.bb.cc.dd is the IP address of the Serial Device Server. You can use the command
SHOW IP to verify the IP address settings.
4. Enter the basic wireless settings as follows:
SET NW SSID <name> [where <name> is the SSID for your network]
SET NW MODE <mode> [where mode is INFRASTRUCTURE or
AD-HOC]
SET NW CHANNEL n [where n is 1 to 11; this is only required for
AD-HOC MODE]
5. Use the appropriate SET NW command to set wireless encryption mode and authentication type
(check with your network administrator for the proper settings if you do not know them):
SET NW ENC <mode> [sets encryption mode, where <mode> is WPA,
WPA2, 64, 128, or WPA2-WPA]
SET NW AUTHTYPE <type> [sets authentication type, where <type> is
OPEN, SHARED, TTLS, PEAP, WPA-PSK,
LEAP, TLS, or FAST].
For WPA2-PSK or WPA, enter the command:
SET NW WPAPSK <psk> [sets pre-shared key for WPA2 or WPA, where
<psk> is the key]
SET NW WPAGROUP <state> [enables or disables WPA group key mode,
where <state> is ENABLED or DISABLED;
default is DISABLED]
For WEP (WEP64 or WEP128), use the following commands:
SET NW KEYVAL <key> [Sets WEP key, where <key> is 10 hex
characters for WEP64 or 26 hex characters for
WEP128]
SET NW KEY# n [sets the number of the WEP key that will be
used as the transmit key, where n=1 to 4; default
value is 1]
Configuring 802.1X EAP authentication can be complex. Please refer to Appendix A and/or
Appendix B for details of the required commands.
