• CLI commands may be entered in real time through a keyboard or submitted with CLI scripts.
• A CLI Batch file is a user-editable configuration file that provides a user-friendly way to change the AP configuration

through a file upload. The CLI Batch file is an ASCII file that facilitates Auto Configuration because it does not require
the user to access one of the AP’s management interfaces to make configuration changes as is required with the
proprietary LTV format configuration file.

• The CLI is available through both the Serial Port interface and over the Ethernet interface using Telnet.

NOTE: All CLI commands and parameters are case-sensitive.
