User Guide for AIR-104/AIR-204 7-2

Bits per second (baud): 19200
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: Hardware

If your terminal emulation software does not allow you to set flow control 

options, then you should set the flow control manually.  Click the Win95/98 Start 
button, select Settings, and click on the Control Panel.  The Control Panel window 
appears; click on the System icon.  Select Device Manager, and then COM Ports.  
Choose either COM1 or COM2, depending on which port you are using to connect 
to the AIR-104/204.  Under Settings, you  will fill find Flow Control; set it to 
Hardware.

Note that after configuring these settings, some programs require you to 
close the application and then re-open it.

Enter a carriage return to start your session.

When logging on to the AIR-104/204, the user will see a system sign-on message, 

followed by a password prompt:

Acer Router Manager Console Version: rev_no build_date_time
Please enter your password: ********

As outlined in Chapter 4, the default password is “password”.  If you are logging onto the 

system for the first time, key in the default password; you may change the password later 

to one of your own choosing.  At all times, the password for the CLI is identical to the 

password for the ICC; if you change one, then you will also change the other at the same 

time.  Please note that the password is case-sensitive.  As you type in the password, 

your keystrokes will be echoed as asterisks (*).  When you hit the Carriage Return, the 

password you have entered will be tested against the current password.  If the password 

string is validated, the command prompt will be displayed:

Command>

The user may now begin to issue commands.  Most of the commands are single-line 

commands, and no commands are context-sensitive: each command is independent of 

other commands before or after it. 
While entering commands with the CLI, please make a note of the following general 

guidelines:
• At any time, the user may type a “ ?” (preceded by a space) to request for help 

concerning what the user can enter next.  If the CLI is expecting a keyword when the 
user types “?”, then all valid keywords will be displayed for selection, and the 
unfinished command will be re-displayed withe cursor at the end for the user to finish 
the input.

• Instead of entering a full keyword, the user may simply enter the first part of the 

keyword and then hit tab or space; the system will automatically complete the 
keyword, unless the characters entered thus far do not uniquely identify a keyword, 
in which case nothing will happen.  If the user is unsure how to complete the 
keyword, she may simply type as many characters as she knows, followed by a “?”; 
the system will then display all valid keywords which match the partial input.

• At any time, the user can type control-p (^p, by pressing both the Ctrl key and the

^p key at the same time) to repeat the previous command, or control-n to return to
