7.4. Communication Setup Commands
7.4.1. Querying the IP Settings
Description: The TCP/IP settings can be retrieved from the router with this command.
Format
Command {IP_CONFIG=?}
Response (IP_CONFIG=<id> ●<ip_address>●<port>
●<mask>●<gateway>)CrLf
Legend
Identifier
<id>
<ip_address>
<port>
<mask>
<gateway>
Explanation: The router has a fix IP address 192.168.2.106 on the 255.255.0.0 subnet with a gateway on
192.168.2.1 and communicates over TCP port 10001.
7.4.2. Reloading the Default IP Settings
Description: This command sets the router to the factory default IP setup.
Format
Command {IP_CONFIG=!}
Response (Changing●IP● configuration...)CrLf
(DOND!)CrLf or
(FAILDD!)CrLf
Parameters after a successful command execution:
Parameter
IP address
port number
Subnet mask
INFO:
This command can be used on all control interfaces (LAN, RS-232, and USB) but the '(DONE!)'
response cannot be seen on LAN because the connection is dropped just after the '(Changing IP
configuration...)' response.

INFO: Factory default setting can be reloaded by the front panel buttons
front panel LCD menu.

7.4.3. Setting a Dynamic IP Address (DHCP)
Description: After sending this command the router will inquire IP address with DHCP.
Command {IP_CONFIG=D}
Response (Changing●IP● configuration...)CrLf
Parameters after successful command execution:

INFO: This command can be used on all control interfaces (LAN, RS-232, and USB) but the '(DONE!)'
response cannot be seen on LAN because the connection is dropped just after the '(Changing IP
configuration...)' response.
INFO:
DHCP setting can be reloaded by the front panel buttons as well or via the front panel LCD menu.
7.4.4. Querying the RS-232 Baud Rate
Description: The RS-232 baud rate can be checked. It works via LAN and RS-232 as well, but if RS-232 is
used the command has to be sent with the appropriate baud rate.
Command {RS232BAUD=?}
Response (RS232BAUD=<rate>)CrLf
Explanation: The router communicates with 57600 baud on the RS-232 port.

INFO: RS-232 Baud rate can be checked and set on the front panel LCD menu as well.
7.4.5. Changing the RS-232 Baud Rate
Description: The RS-232 baud rate can be set. If the RS-232 connection is used, the command has to be sent
with the earlier baud rate but the response comes with the new baud rate.
Command {RS232BAUD=<rate>}
Response (RS232BAUD=<rate>)CrLf
Explanation: The router RS-232 port is set to 9600 baud.
Possible values: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 (default), 115200.

INFO: RS-232 Baud rate can be checked and set on the front panel LCD menu as well.
