is IP address of a subnet to be added or deleted.
is netmask of the subnet.
Examples
Set Control 2.2.2.2 255.255.0.0
Sets the Control (serial port) IP Address to 2.2.2.2
Set network 3.4.5.6 255.255.0.0
Sets the network port IP Address to 3.4.5.6
255.255.0.0
Note:
- No two IP addresses should be the same
- IP addresses of 127.x.x.x are not allowed.
- Net masks of 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 are not allowed.
- Public and Private port addresses must be valid Class A, B or C addresses. For
this reason subnet masks must comprise of consecutive
1
s from the left hand
side when represented in binary, for example 255.255.1.0 is invalid.
To make the unit request an Ethernet Management Port IP address from a DHCP/BOOTP server
on the LAN, set its Ethernet Management Port IP address to 255.0.0.0 and net mask to
255.255.255.255 (this is an exception to the rule mentioned in the note above).
To reset the addresses to factory defaults, use the DEFAULT command.
The above section details the steps necessary to connect via the Ethernet management port.
