Command Line Interface
Although most radio functions can be managed using the browser interface, the command line interface (CLI) does
provide slightly more functionality. The CLI can be accessed through Telnet (all radios), or via the serial port (excluding
FOX radios).
Telnet
Open a command prompt (DOS) session on your PC. Open a Telnet session by typing:
telnet [<ip address of radio>]
Example:
C:>telnet 192.168.100.100
All Trango radios (APs and SUs) are factory pre-configured with a default IP address of 192.168.100.100. In Telnet you
will be greeted with the current hardware and firmware information, and prompted for a password. Type in the password
and press enter. The factory default password is trango.
To terminate a CLI session (Telnet or Serial) type the command logout.
 Note: Type help or ? for a listing of all CLI commands. Type help [<command>], for the syntax of a particular
command.
The majority of the CLI commands will be covered throughout this text as well as in Appendix D -- Command Set
Reference.
Troubleshooting
If you can not telnet into the radio or open an HTTP browser session, check your cable connections to ensure proper use
of cross-over vs. straight-through cable, and ensure your PC’s subnet is routable to the radio’s IP address. If you still
cannot access the radio’s management interfaces, consult the troubleshooting guide available at
http://www.trangobroadband.com/support/appnotes_web.htm.
Reset Button on FOX Series Radios
FOX Series radios feature a reset button that can be pressed with a small object such as a paper clip. Pressing the reset
button will reset the radio’s IP address to factory default of 192.168.100.100, and password trango. The reset button can
be useful if you forget or are unsure of the radio’s IP address/password.
