port, in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.yy, where:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address, and

yy is the network prefix (8..30)

10/100 Base Tx Ethernet management port, in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address
Example: IPG = 010.006.030.001

IPG?

IPG = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

byte,

value of 0, 1, 2

Command or Query.
Set Remote Entry Mode.
0 = Local, 1=Serial, 2=Ethernet

Example: LRS=1
NOTE: The customer will always have query access when using serial and telnet. Also, the LRS

17 bytes

Query only.
MAC address of the unit, reported in hexadecimal.

EE-FF

Unit Alarm Mask MSK=

1

byte,

Value of 0, 1, 2

Command or Query.
Alarm mask conditions. If an alarm is masked, neither an alarm or a fault is set, and the user
will not know of a problem. Form of a, where:

0 = Alarm, 1 = Fault, 2 = Masked
a = External Reference Lock detect
The default value is 2
There could be a variable delay in the time it takes for the internal reference to lock to an
external reference, due warm-up characteristics and frequency differences between the
references. Therefore, the default setting is "masked" for the reference lock detect. This setting

may be changed if the customer so desires. The delay should be less than 1 s after 30 minutes
of warm-up time.

MSK?

MSK=a

Arguments)
