Using the BSAP Command Line Interface (CLI)

)

Note: 

Normally you will not need to access the BSAP CLI. In a properly 

provisioned Bluesocket WLAN, the BSAP will automatically discover and 

communicate with its home BSC. We recommend that you use the CLI to 

configure the BSAP only in a lab or test environment, or where a pre-defined 

static IP address is desired.
You can connect a console to the BSAP’s serial console connector to perform 

local configuration of the BSAP using its command line interface (CLI).You can use 

the BSAP’s CLI to manually configure:
• the BSAP’s IP address
• the IP address of the home BSC from which the BSAP will download its 

configuration and software image

Accessing the BSAP CLI

To access the BSAP CLI:

1.

Connect a nine-pin null-modem serial cable between the nine-pin serial port 

on the back of the BSAP and your laptop computer.

2.

Run a terminal emulation program on your laptop computer configured with 

the following settings:
• Port  -  COM1
• bps - 9600 
• Data bits - 8
• Parity  -  None
• Stop bits - 1
• Flow control - None

3.

Initiate the connection to the BSAP CLI.

4.

Enter the following username and password in lowercase at the displayed CLI 

login prompts:

BlueAP login:

 adm1n  

(i.e., adm “one” n)

Password:

 blue1socket  

(i.e., blue “one” socket)

The BSAP CLI main menu appears as shown in Figure 5.

Navigating the BSAP CLI

The BSAP CLI main menu provides access to these options:

Network Configuration

 - Configure the BSAP’s network settings including 

its IP address and the IP address of the BSC to which it will connect.

Save/Apply Configuration

 - After you have configured the BSAP’s 

network settings, you must apply them before they become active.

Restore Defaults

 - Restore the BSAP to its default settings.
