Using The Command Line Interface - D-Link DWC-1000 User Manual

Using the Command Line Interface

The wireless controller supports a command-line interface (CLI). 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
Tip: 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 (see Figure 2-1 on page 15).
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.
