HAZARDOUS CONDITION WARNINGS

Only suitably qualified personnel may use the command-line interface (CLI). All Cisco hardware and software installations must conform to all relevant legislation in the country of use. In some countries, legislation may require that hardware devices be installed only by a certified electrician. All Cisco products are designed with safety in mind. However, improper use of electronic devices and/or their control software has the potential to cause serious injury and/or property damage. To avoid such injury and damage, install, configure and operate Cisco products only if you are properly qualified to do so.

If any Cisco hardware unit breaks down or malfunctions, emits smoke or an unusual smell, if water or other foreign matter enters the unit enclosure, or if the unit is dropped onto a hard surface or damaged in any way, power off the unit immediately and contact an authorized Cisco dealer for assistance. If you are adjusting and/or controlling a Cisco device using control software such as the command-line interface or the device’s offline Configurator, do not make configuration changes unless you know with certainty that your changes will not negatively impact people or animals in the vicinity of the device and its antennas.

Radio-frequency transmission hazard

RADIO-FREQUENCY RADIATION

• Non-ionizing radio frequency (RF) transmissions can be hazardous to human and animal health.
• In sufficient quantity, RF radiation is capable of causing radiation burns, tissue damage and other injuries. Keep a safe distance from all RF-radiating devices such as antennas, when such devices are powered ON. Never stand in line with a powered RF-radiating device.
• Before activating any device capable of transmitting RF signals, make sure that all persons and animals are protected from possible RF exposure.
• Make sure that all RF feeds are securely connected to an appropriate antenna. Never activate any RF-capable device that is not connected to an antenna.

Optical radiation hazard

LASER RADIATION

• If any Cisco hardware device is equipped with one or more SFP fibre-optic modules, it is classified as a Class 1 laser product. It may use laser-emitting components and/or very high-intensity light sources.
• Do not look directly at the input/output end of the unit’s SFP connector, or the input/output end of any fiber-optic cable. Fibre-optic systems frequently use high-intensity light from laser or LED sources that may cause temporary or permanent blindness.
• For additional guidance regarding the safe use of laser-based and LED-based fibre-optic technology, refer to ANSI Z136.2 (Safe Use of Optical Fiber Communication Systems Utilizing Laser Diode and LED Sources).

Hot surfaces hazard

• HOT SURFACES
  The outer surfaces of some radio transceiver and gateway unit enclosures may become hot during normal operation. The outer enclosures of such devices are marked with the symbol seen above. During normal operation, do not touch or handle the unit enclosure without personal protective equipment.

INTRODUCTION

This manual explains how to use the Cisco Command-line interface (CLI) as a means to configure and control Cisco hardware devices that are part of a network. The CLI is intended for use by wireless networking professionals who have been tasked with configuring Cisco gateway units and/or radio transceivers, and/or configuring and maintaining the system using Cisco software. Throughout this manual, configuration and adjustment settings are given for Cisco device parameters. You must have a thorough understanding of each parameter before attempting to configure or adjust it. Many configuration parameters are interdependent. Misconfiguration or poor adjustment of parameters could degrade the performance of a Cisco device, or make it inoperable.

IMPORTANT

• The functions of all device configuration parameters are explained in detail in the Cisco RACER Configuration Manual and the user manual for your Cisco gateway device or radio transceiver device.
• Be sure to read and understand the documents above before attempting to configure your device using the command-line interface.

This manual applies only to the following Cisco device firmware versions and their relevant hardware devices:

• 1.2.6 (FM Ponte 50 radio transceiver kits)

This manual may contain commands and/or command parameters that are being newly introduced as part of a firmware version described in this manual, or that must be expressed in a way that is different to a previous version of the same command. All sub-sections containing new and/or modified commands are marked with:

NEW
This manual does not apply to device firmware versions that are more recent than the firmware versions above. For these firmware versions, refer to the appropriate version of the Cisco Command-line interface user manual.

CLI account types

• Users can log onto the CLI using Administrator or View Mode credentials.
• The differences between credential types are shown in the table below.
• Account passwords can be changed by an Administrator, using RACER or the offline Configurator interface.

configuration parameters.

If you are logging onto the device as an administrative user, log on using the following command:

• ssh @

If you are logging onto the device in View Mode, log on using the following command:

• ssh @

UNDERSTANDING THE CLI

• The Cisco Networks command-line interface (CLI) is used to issue configuration commands to a Cisco device over a Secure Shell (SSH) service. SSH is a cryptographic network protocol that allows the secure operation of network services over an unsecured network.
• The CLI can be regarded as a ‘backup’ user interface, giving an alternative method of configuring Cisco radio transceiver and gateway devices.
• Like the RACER™ and on-board Configurator interfaces, the CLI allows you to inspect and modify the configuration parameters of the relevant unit.

TIP

• The on-board Configurator interface features a limited set of configuration options for most Cisco devices.
• To gain access to the full set of configuration options for the relevant Cisco device, use the RACER interface or command-line interface to configure the device.

USING THE CLI TO CONFIGURE CISCO DEVICES

IMPORTANT

• Device configuration parameters can only be changed if you are accessing a device as an Administrator.
• If you are accessing a device in View Mode, you can view the device’s configuration settings, but cannot change them.

To use the CLI to configure a Cisco device, do the steps below:

1. Install an SSH client on the computer that you will use to configure the Cisco device. Recommended SSH clients include SecureCRT (Windows computers) and the built-in SSH terminal (Linux and Mac systems).
2. Use the SSH client to log in to the Cisco device as an administrative user, substituting with the IP address of the Cisco unit. Do this by entering the following command using the terminal:
   • ssh @
3. Use the SSH client to configure the Cisco device using the appropriate commands as given in this manual. Be sure to use the correct command-line syntax.
4. Confirm the configuration changes by entering the following command:
   • write
5. Reboot the unit by entering the following command:
   • reboot

UNDERSTANDING COMMAND-LINE SYNTAX

• The logical structure of the configuration commands given using the CLI is referred to as syntax.
• The configuration command syntax used by Cisco devices is simple. The command-line syntax can be used to issue one command or to issue multiple commands within a single command entry, before pressing the Enter key.
• If multiple commands are made within a single command entry, all commands must be separated by spaces.
• For demonstration, here are typical examples that show ways in which a radio transceiver’s Ethernet parameters can be configured.
• To show the current configuration for a specific Ethernet port, you would enter the following command:
  • ethernet port eth 1

To configure the data transfer speed and duplex mode for a specific Ethernet port, you would make the needed choices based on:

• The specifications are given in the network design document, and
• The characteristics of the Cisco device.

As a typical example, an FM3500 Endo radio transceiver has the following features:

• Two RJ-45 Ethernet ports, numbered 1 and 2.
• A choice of two duplex modes (half and full).

Based on this information, if you wanted to set Ethernet port 2 of the FM3500 Endo to transmit and receive data in full duplex mode, you would enter the following command:

• ethernet port eth 2 duplex full

• The Cisco Firmware is copyright-protected material under United States and international copyright and other applicable laws. Unauthorized copying, use or modification of any part of this firmware, or violation of the terms of this Agreement, will be prosecuted to the maximum extent allowable under law.

Notice
This is an agreement between you and Cisco Systems Inc (hereafter known as ‘Cisco’). You must read and agree to the terms of this firmware license agreement (hereafter known as the ‘Agreement’) before any Cisco firmware can be downloaded, installed or used. By clicking the ‘Accept’ button on any Cisco firmware download webpage, or by downloading, installing or using Cisco firmware and/or by using any Cisco device running Cisco firmware, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement. If you do not agree with the terms and conditions of this agreement, then you should not download, install or use any Cisco firmware, and you agree to forego any implied or stated rights to download, install or use Cisco firmware.

Definitions

For this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

‘Open Source Software’ means any software or software component, module or package that contains, or is derived in any manner (in whole or in part) from, any software that is distributed as free software, open source software or similar licensing or distribution models, including, without limitation, software licensed or distributed under any of the following licenses or distribution models, or licenses or distribution models similar to any of the following: (a) GNU’s General Public License (GPL) or Lesser/Library GPL (LGPL); (b) the Artistic License (e.g., PERL); (c) the Mozilla Public License; (d) the BSD License; and (e) the Apache License; ‘Cisco Device’ means a Cisco networking device that you

License Grant
Cisco grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use a copy of the Cisco Firmware and accompanying documentation and any updates or upgrades thereto provided by Cisco according to the terms set forth below. You are authorized by this license to use the Cisco Firmware in object code form only and solely in conjunction with applicable and permitted Cisco-branded products and/or services and by the applicable documentation. You are granted a limited and non-exclusive license (without the right to sublicense) to use the Software solely for the Cisco Devices that you own and control, and solely for use in conjunction with the Cisco Firmware.

Uses and restrictions on use

You may:
download and use Cisco Firmware for use in Cisco Devices, and make copies of the Cisco Firmware as reasonably necessary for such use, provided that you reproduce, unaltered, all proprietary notices that exist on or in the copies.

You may not, and shall not permit others to:

• use the Cisco Firmware on any devices or products that are not owned by you or your business organization;
• use the Cisco Firmware on any non-Cisco Devices;
• copy the Cisco Firmware (except as expressly permitted above), or copy the accompanying documentation;
• modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt (i) to defeat, avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate, or otherwise circumvent any software protection mechanisms in the Cisco Firmware, including without limitation any such mechanism used to restrict or control the functionality of the Cisco Firmware, or (ii) to derive the source code or the underlying ideas, algorithms, structure or organization from the Cisco Firmware (except that the foregoing limitation does not apply to the extent that such activities may not be prohibited under applicable law); or
• distribute, rent, transfer or grant any rights in the Cisco Firmware or modifications thereof or accompanying documentation in any form to any person without the prior written consent of Cisco. (f) Remove any Cisco copyright notice or
• Cisco branding from the Cisco Firmware or modify any user interface of the Cisco Firmware or Cisco Device.
• Cisco Devices must be properly installed and they are sold for installation by a professional installer only. Cisco Devices must be installed by a professional installer of wireless networking products certified by Cisco and they are not designed for installation by the general public. It is your responsibility to follow local country regulations including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements. You are responsible for keeping the devices working according to these rules.
• The Cisco Firmware contains technological protection or other security features designed to prevent unauthorized use of the Cisco Firmware, including features to protect against the use of the Cisco Firmware beyond the scope of the license granted herein or in a manner prohibited herein. You agree that you shall not, and shall not attempt to, remove, disable, circumvent or otherwise create or implement any workaround to, any such copy protection or security features.
• This license is not a sale. Title and copyrights to the Cisco Firmware, and any copy made by you, remain with Cisco and its suppliers. Unauthorized copying of the Cisco Firmware or the accompanying documentation, or failure to comply with the above restrictions, will result in the automatic termination of this license and will make other legal remedies available to Cisco.

Open-source software

You hereby acknowledge that the Cisco Firmware may contain Open Source Software. You agree to review any documentation that accompanies the Cisco Firmware or is identified in the documentation for the Cisco Firmware to determine which portions of the Cisco Firmware are Open Source Software and are licensed under an Open Source Software license. To the extent that any such license requires that Cisco provides you with rights to copy, modify, distribute or otherwise use any Open Source Software that is inconsistent with the limited rights granted to you in this Agreement, then such rights in the applicable Open Source Software license shall take precedence over the rights and restrictions granted in this Agreement, but solely concerning such Open Source Software. You acknowledge that the Open Source Software license is solely between you and the applicable licensor of the Open Source Software. You shall comply with the terms of all applicable Open Source Software licenses, if any. Copyrights to the Open Source Software are held by the copyright holders indicated in the copyright notices in the corresponding source files or as disclosed at www.cisco.com.

Termination
This license will continue until terminated. Unauthorized copying of the Cisco Firmware or failure to comply with the above restrictions will result in automatic termination of this Agreement and will make other legal remedies available to Cisco. This license will also automatically terminate if you go into liquidation, suffer or make any winding-up petition, make an arrangement with your creditors, or suffer or file any similar action in any jurisdiction in consequence of debt. Furthermore, Cisco may immediately terminate this Agreement if (I) you fail to cure a breach of this Agreement (other than a breach under Cisco intellectual property rights) within thirty (30) calendar days after its receipt of written notice regarding such breach, or (ii) you breach any Cisco intellectual property right. Upon termination of this license for any reason, you agree to destroy all copies of the Cisco Firmware. Any use of the Cisco Firmware after termination is unlawful.

Feedback
You may provide suggestions, comments or other feedback (‘Feedback’) concerning Cisco Firmware, and Cisco Devices. Feedback, even if designated as confidential by you, shall not impose any confidentiality obligations on Cisco. You agree that Cisco is free to use, disclose, reproduce, license or otherwise distribute and exploit any Feedback provided by you as Cisco sees fit, entirely without obligation or restriction of any kind on account of intellectual property rights, or otherwise.

Consent to use of data
You acknowledge and agree that Cisco may, directly or indirectly through the services of third parties, collect and store information regarding the use and performance of the Cisco Firmware and Cisco Devices, and about equipment through which it otherwise is accessed and used. You further agree that Cisco may use such information for any purpose related to any use of the Cisco Firmware and Cisco Devices by you, including, without limitation, improving the performance of the Cisco Firmware or developing updates and verifying your compliance with the terms of this Agreement and enforcing Cisco’s rights, including all intellectual property rights in and to the Cisco Firmware.

Cisco shall have the right to collect and analyze data and other information relating to the provision, use and performance of various aspects of the Cisco Firmware and Cisco Devices and related systems and technologies (‘Data’), and you give Cisco the right to use and disclose such Data (during and after the term of this Agreement) by Cisco’s Privacy Policy. If you choose to allow diagnostic and usage collection, you agree that Cisco and its subsidiaries and agents may collect, maintain, process and use diagnostic, technical, usage and related information, including but not limited to unique system or hardware identifiers, information about your device, system and software, that is gathered periodically to provide and improve Cisco’s products and services, facilitate the provision of software updates, product support and other services to you (if any) related to Cisco products, and to verify compliance with the terms of this license. Cisco may use this information, as long as it is collected in a form that does not personally identify you, for the purposes described above.

To enable Cisco’s partners and third-party developers to improve their software, hardware and services designed for use with Cisco products, Cisco may also provide any such partner or third-party developer with a subset of diagnostic information that is relevant to that partner’s or developer’s software, hardware and/or services, as long as the diagnostic information is in a form that does not personally identify you.

Warranty Disclaimer
Cisco Firmware, including without limitation any open source software, any Cisco Device, and any accompanying documentation are provided ‘As is’, and Cisco and its suppliers make, and you receive, no warranties or conditions, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, or in any communication with you, and Cisco and its suppliers specifically disclaim any implied warranty of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement and their equivalents. Cisco does not warrant that the operation of the Cisco Firmware will be uninterrupted or error-free or that the Cisco Firmware will meet your specific requirements. You acknowledge that Cisco has no support or maintenance obligations for the Cisco Firmware.

Limitation of liability

• Except to the extent that liability may not by law be limited or excluded, in no event will Cisco or its suppliers be liable for loss of, or corruption to data, lost profits or loss of contracts, cost of procurement of substitute products or other special, incidental, punitive, consequential or indirect damages arising from the supply or use of the Cisco Firmware, howsoever caused and on any theory of liability (including without limitation negligence).
• This limitation will apply even if Cisco or an authorized distributor or an authorized reseller has been advised of the possibility of such damages and notwithstanding the failure of the essential purpose of any limited remedy. In no event shall Cisco’s or its suppliers or its resellers’ liability exceed five hundred United States dollars (US$500). You acknowledge that this provision reflects a reasonable allocation of risk.

• Cisco will not be held liable for any losses, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), or any other form of liability, for any claim, damage, or loss, (and you hereby waive any such claims or causes of action), arising from or relating to your (i) inability to use the services to contact emergency services, or (ii) failure to make additional arrangements to access emergency services.
• The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that Cisco has set its prices and entered into this agreement in reliance upon the limitations of liability and disclaimers of warranties specified herein, which allocate the risk between Cisco and the end user and form a basis of the bargain between the parties.
