FUNCTION: Set or display the parameters for the Ethernet interface
SYNTAX: net [][-netmask ]
…[-gw ][-f]
where:
net command
parameter: value: numerical string
IP address of CPU board: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
-netmask option: netmask
parameter: value: numerical string
netmask of CPU board: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
-gw option: gateway
parameter: value: numerical string
gateway address for network: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
-f option:
force CRC update
DESCRIPTION: To set or display the parameters of the Ethernet interface the
command “net” is used.
Initially the CPU board does not have a valid Ethernet interface
configuration, and, therefore, this interface is inoperable. The initial
configuration must be done from the TERM interface using the
command “net ... -f”.
Using the “-f” option forces a CRC to be performed and stored along
with the other configuration parameters in the serial EEPROM.
Once the initialization of the Ethernet interface is done, the CPU
board must be restarted for the parameters to take effect. Later
changes to the parameters do not require the use of the “-f” option to
force a CRC. This is done automatically. Only in the event that the
Ethernet interface does not properly initialize, may it be necessary to
re-enter the parameters using the “-f” option.
