Proxim Tsunami MP.11 and MP.11a CPN 65755B User Manual

The Command Line Interface (CLI) provides a text-based interface with which you can configure and 
manage the MP.11/a using commands.  You can enter these commands or submit them in the form of a 
script to allow batch processing.  Accessing the CLI is discussed in “Command Line Interface Overview” 
in the Tsunami MP.11/a Installation and Management Guide.. 

Administrators use the CLI to control MP.11/a operation and monitor network statistics.  The MP.11/a 
supports two types of CLI—the Boot Loader CLI and the normal CLI.  The Boot Loader CLI provides a 
limited command set and is used when the current Image is bad or missing.   

The Boot Loader is started when the MP.11/a is switched on or reset, and is responsible for starting the 
embedded software.  The Boot Loader CLI is available when the MP.11/a embedded software is not 
running. 

The Boot Loader CLI is a minimal subset of the normal CLI used to perform initial configuration of the 
MP.11/a.  This interface is accessible only through the serial interface if the MP.11/a does not contain a 
software image or a download image command over TFTP has failed. 

The Boot Loader CLI lets you configure the initial setup parameters as well as download a software 
image to the device. 

The following commands are supported by the Boot Loader CLI: 

▪ 

Set for configuration of initial device parameters  

▪ 

Show to view the device’s configuration parameters 

▪ 

Help to provide additional information about all commands supported by the Boot Loader CLI 

▪ 

Reboot to reboot the device
