3. Defset (default button)
This button is used to reset the W200A configurations to the factory presets. For
example, reset the management interface IP address of W200A to default
192.168.1.254, and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0; reset SSID (service ID) to
default zxwlan; reset the login username and password to default root and public,
and reset the privileged user password to default zte.
4. Ethernet (Ethernet RJ45 interface)
This interface has 3 functions:
1) When W200A is operating normally in a network, this interface is used as an
up-link interface and connected to W112P (AP remote power feeding mode) via
a directly powered Ethernet cable or connected (using a power adapter to supply
the AP in a near-end power mode)to the down-link interface of an Ethernet
switch via a directly connected Ethernet cable.
2) Before W200A is installed, you can connect to the wired network interfac e of a
computer via a cross network cable, log in to W200A via Web or Telnet and
configure parameters of W200A.
3) To load a version to W200A via a hyperterminal, you can connect this interface
with the wired network interface of the computer via a cross network cable, and
run FTP/TFTP server program on the computer to load the version file to the
flash of W200A.
5. CONSOLE (RJ11 interface for configurations)
Connect to the serial port of the computer using a serial cable so that you ca n
load, configure and debug the version for the equipment via the hyperterminal.
6. ANT (antenna port)
Used to install the antenna.
3.3 Network Mode
W200A is designed to provide wire access for indoor and outdoor wireless users. It can
be installed in offices, hotel halls and corridors, top of buildings, and residential yards.
The major operation modes are described as follows.

5 Command Line Configurations
This chapter presents the operating procedures of comma nd line configurations and the
commands used.
5.1 Overview
W200A offers Command Line Interfaces (CLIs) for the configurations of all types of
data the W200A uses.
Features of the CLI configurations include:
1. The user can perform either local configurations by using hyperterminal
software via the serial port or local/remote configuration by using Telnet
software via the Ethernet interface or wireless network card.
2. 5 command modes can be used in CLI configuration interfaces: user mode,
privileged mode, configuration mode, Ethernet interface configuration mode and
wireless interface configuration mode. Each mode is the execution environment
of a set of relevant commands. A command can only be executed in its
corresponding command mode. To get the executable commands in the current
mode, type in "?" under this mode.
3. There are two types of commands, information query command and functional
command. information query commands are used to get required information.
Functional commands are used to change configurations of W200A functions.
Changed configurations are saved in the operation configuration database. To
cancel function configurations, execute the reverse command of the original
one (that is, add the no keyword to the front of the original command).
4. The CLI configuration offers a sophisticated help system. You can get relevant
help information by typing "?" at any time.
5. A fuzzy match function is offered for the command input. If the characters you
entered can determine exclusively the command to be executed, you needn't to
input the whole word.
5-1
ZXR10 WAS (V1.0) IP Wireless Access System W200A Wireless Access Point User’s Manual
6. A history function is offered in the CLI configuration interface. You can select a
history command by using the ↑and ↓ keys on the keyboard.
7. A dual password protect is offered in the interfac e to prevent unauthorized users
from accessing. The first password verification appears on the Welcome
interface of the Telnet progra m, where you will enter the user mode for safety
authentication. The default username and password are "root" and "public". You
can enter the privileged mode by inputting "enable" and a correct password in
the user mode. The password for the privileged mode is "zte" by defau lt.
Tips:
When you perform configurations via serial port, no authentication will be needed
because the terminal screen enters user mode directly.
8. The CLI configuration interface supports the automatic paging of command
output on terminals. The "--More--" on the lower left corner of the command
output window indicates there are more output commands. To display the next
page, press the space bar. To exit, press <q>. To output the next line, press the
Enter key.
9. The CLI configuration interface offers a basic command line editing function.
The shortcut key for editing command lines are defined as follows:
Ctrl+U: Delete the whole command being input
Ctrl+A: Move the cursor to the first character of a command line
Ctrl+E: Move the cursor to the last character of a command line
Ctrl+X: Delete all the characters before the cursor
Ctrl+K: Delete all the characters after the cursor (including the character where
the cursor is)
Ctrl+C: Abandon all input. A new line and a new prompt appear.
To configure the W200A via the serial port, set the serial port attributes of the
hyperterminal as shown in Fig. 5.1-1.

Fig. 5.1-1 Serial Port Configuration
To configure the W200A vi a Telnet, input telnet/operating IP address of the W200A, as
shown in Fig. 5.1-2. By default, the operating IP address of the W200A is
192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Fig. 5.1-2 Telnet to W200A
The 5 configuration modes for W200A and all the executable commands in each mode
are described in details as follows. In the following text, conventions are given as
5-3
ZXR10 WAS (V1.0) IP Wireless Access System W200A Wireless Access Point User’s Manual
follows to the expression of commands:
1. abc denotes the contents that you should enter.
2. {abc|def} denotes that you must type in one of the two options.
3. The number range with [A~B] denotes you can type in a configuration
parameter within this range.
4. [ ] denotes that you can either enter the contents in [ ] or not.
5.2 User Mode
Mode of entry: Telnet
Exit mode: exit
Default prompt: wlan>
Note: When an ordinary user logs in to the W200A via Telnet, he/she will not be able to
enter the user mode unless he/she passes the username and password authentication. By
default, the username and password are "root" and "public". To prevent illegal users
from attempting the password frequently, the system will cut the Telnet connections of
a user automatically if incorrect passwords has been entered 3 times continuously.
5.3 Privileged Mode
Mode of entry: Type in the enable command in the in use mode and enter the correct
password.
Exit mode: disable for entering the user mode; exit for ex iting the privilege d mode and
go back to the system.
