Administrators use the CLI to control Access Point operation and monitor network statistics. The WL520 supports two types of
CLI: the Bootloader CLI and the normal CLI. The Bootloader CLI provides a limited command set, and is used when the current
AP Image is bad or missing. The Bootloader CLI allows you to assign an IP Address and download a new image. Once the
image is downloaded and running, the Access Point uses the normal CLI. This guide covers the normal CLI unless otherwise
specified.

The Bootloader CLI is a minimal subset of the normal CLI used to perform initial configuration of the WL520 device. This
interface is only be accessible via the serial interface if the WL520 unit does not contain an image (binary) or the TFTP
operation has failed as result of the download command for an image.
The Bootloader CLI provides you with the ability to configure the initial setup parameters as well as download an image
(binary) to the device.
The functions that shall be supported by the Bootloader CLI are:
– configuration of initial device parameters using the set command
–
show
command to view the device’s configuration parameters
–
help
command to provide additional information on all commands supported by the Bootloader CLI
–
reboot
command to reboot the device.
The parameters supported by the Bootloader CLI (for viewing and modifying) are:
– System Name
– IP Address Assignment Type
– IP Address
– IP Mask
– Gateway IP Address
– TFTP Server IP Address
– Image (binary) File Name
The following lists display the results of using the help and show commands in the Bootloader CLI:
