General Notes

Prerequisite Skills and Knowledge

To use this document effectively, you should have a working knowledge of Local Area Networking (LAN) concepts,

network access infrastructures, and client-server relationships. In addition, you should be familiar with software setup

procedures for typical network operating systems and servers.

Notation Conventions

• Computer prompts are shown as constant width type. For example: [Device-Name]>

• Information that you input as shown is displayed in bold constant width type. For example:

[Device name]> set ipaddr 10.0.0.12

• The names of keyboard keys, software buttons, and field names are displayed in bold type. For example: Click the

Configure button.

• Screen names are displayed in bold italics. For example, the System Status screen.

Important Terminology

• Configuration Files - Database files containing the current Access Point configuration. Configuration items include the

IP Address and other network-specific values. Config files may be downloaded to the Access Point or uploaded for

backup or troubleshooting.

• Download vs. Upload - Downloads transfer files to the Access Point. Uploads transfer files from the Access Point. The

TFTP server performs file transfers in both directions.

• Group - A logical collection of network parameter information. For example, the System Group is composed of several

related parameters. Groups can also contain Tables. All items for a given Group can be displayed with a show

<Group> CLI Command.

• Image File - The Access Point software executed from RAM. To update an Access Point you typically download a new

Image File. This file is often referred to as the “AP Image”.

• Parameter - A fundamental network value that can be displayed and may be changeable. For example, the Access

Point must have a unique IP Address and the Wireless interface must be assigned an SSID. Change parameters with

the CLI set Command, and view them with the CLI show Command.

• Table - Tables hold parameters for several related items. For example, you can add several potential managers to the

SNMP Table. All items for a given Table can be displayed with a show <Table> CLI Command.

• TFTP - Refers to the TFTP Server, used for file transfers.
