Extended Function Commands

4.4 Extended Function Commands
The F100 command series is known collectively as Extended Function Commands. With
certain F100 commands, you can reconfigure network parameters, such as IP Address, or
modify function settings like Remote Lockout. The main commands include F100
BASET, IP / SM / G / CONFIG ("set" commands) / DHCP, LOCK, UNLOCK and L.
Changes to any of these settings, except F100 LOCK, cause the unit to reset automatically
after you respond to a confirmation prompt. Other commands are available for changing
passwords (PN, PR, PRESETALL, PL, PLS, PLR) and updating software (J, BH, BU,
BUB, BF, BL, BLS, BLR), as well as pinging remote hosts (PI) and displaying UTC time
in seconds (PT).
For safety, the default response to the confirmation prompt is negative. The unit will not
execute the command unless you respond affirmatively (enter the letter "y") within 10
seconds. Within that time period, any other response, including no response, results in the
unit canceling the command.
In those sections below where it is not already stated, <Enter> = input line terminator
and <CR><LF> = output line terminator.
F100 Command Configuration Notes:
• Network parameters can be queried at any time, but cannot be changed unless DHCP is
disabled first.
• You can reconfigure two or more network parameters in a single entry by sending the F100
command and entering new values. You will have to respond (within 10 seconds) to separate
confirmation prompts for each value that you change.
• Leading zeros may be omitted when entering IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default
Gateway.
• Any field may be omitted and order is not significant.
• Blanks are allowed on either side of a colon.
• The unit reboots after any network parameter is changed.
