Use this command to view general information about the gateway, such as the
firmware version and its serial number. The gateway status contains two possible
codes:
0400 = gateway is running but not communicating with slaves
0401 = gateway is running and communicating with slaves
If the gateway is in STOP mode, the status code is displayed as 0400.
Exiting the Program
Press [ESC]
to restart the gateway and force all drivers to be loaded. The
gateway will use the configuration stored in the gateway's flash memory to
configure the gateway.
