card connect-type

Function

The card connect-type command configures the connection type between IoT cards and APs.

The undo card connect-type command restores the default connection type between IoT cards and APs.

By default, IoT cards communicate with APs through serial interfaces.

Format

card connect-type { ethernet | serial }

undo card connect-type

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
ethernet	Configures IoT cards to communicate with APs through Ethernet interfaces.	-

Views

AP system profile view, IoT card interface view

Default Level

2: Configuration level

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

When an IoT card communicates with an AP through the serial interface, the communication rate between the IoT card and AP does not exceed the maximum baud rate of the serial interface, that is, 115200 bit/s. This connection type is applicable to scenarios without high traffic volume. When an IoT card communicates with an AP through an Ethernet interface, the communication rate of 10 Mbit/s is supported. This connection mode is applicable to electronic shelf label (ESL) scenarios.

Before using IoT cards of other vendors, contact the vendors to confirm the connection types supported by the cards.

Precautions

The configuration has the highest priority in the IoT card interface view of an AP, a lower priority in the IoT card interface view of an AP group, and the lowest priority in the AP system profile view.
Cards connected through USB ports do not support this command.
Currently, only the AirEngine5760-51, AirEngine6760-X1, AirEngine6760-X1E, AirEngine8760-X1-PRO, AP4050DN-E and AP7060DN support this command.
