Description of Arguments
(Note that all arguments are ASCII numeric codes, i.e., ASCII codes between 48 and 57)
Command or Query.
Used to set the IP address and network prefix for the 10/100 BaseTx Ethernet management
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)
Example: IPA=010.006.030.001.24
Command or Query.
Used to set the Gateway IP address for the
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
Command or Query.
Front Panel LCD Brightness
00 to 09 : LCD Brightness 25%
10 to 19 : LCD Brightness 50%
20 to 29: LCD Brightness 75%
30: LCD Brightness 100%
Example: LCD=30
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
command is available in all modes as a means of acquiring control. The intent of this command is
to limit changes from being made on multiple interfaces at the same time.
Query only.
MAC address of the unit, reported in hexadecimal.
Example: MAC=00-06-B0-00-D2-A7
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.
