F100 – Network Port Configuration & XL-GPS Firmware

F100 provides two groups of commands:

•

Group 1, available through the keypad and the command line, provides access to network port
settings and hardware/Firmware status information.

•

Group 2, available through the command line only, provides commands for changing system
firmware, changing NTP & SNMP parameters, changing the user name/password, resetting the
unit, and pinging other network devices.

Warning

: The F100 commands have the capacity to remove the XL-GPS from the network and disable

the XL-GPS’s system firmware. Use judiciously.

Reboot Warning

: Saving changes to any F100 parameter using the keypad will reboot the XL-GPS.

Some of the F100 command line commands also reboot the XL-GPS. These are identified in the
following documentation.

•

the unit. This is factory set and cannot be changed.
