Administration and Management
If you want to modify only the repeater configuration parameters (Items 2 to 7)
and not the Flash sectors, comment out or delete Item 8. To comment out a line,
place a semicolon (;) in Column 1. If FL=yes, Items 2 to 7 must be in the text
configuration file.
To update the Flash without updating the repeater configuration parameters, set
FL=no or delete/comment out Items 1 to 7 (i.e., have only the FV line in the
text configuration file).

Meaning
"Yes" updates the repeater configuration for items 2 through 7 (all items
must be present); "No" indicates no update.
Any valid IP address (cannot use 255.255.255.255 (broadcast IP)
Any valid Net Mask (cannot be 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255); must start
with a "1" in the left bit position (e.g., 128.0.0.0); "1's" in Net Mask must
be contiguous (i.e., proceeding from left to right, once a bit is set to "0",
there can be no more "1" bits (e.g., 255.255.192.0 is contiguous;
255.255.160.0 is NOT contiguous))
Any valid IP Default Gateway address (cannot use 255.255.255.255)
Up to 20 characters (alphanumeric, underscores, spaces); using more than
20 characters causes an error
Any valid IP address (cannot use 255.255.255.255, broadcast IP); if the
COM serial port on this repeater is not used for a SLIP connection, set
SI=0.0.0.0".
Any valid NetMask (see Item 3)
Non-null value indicates that the firmware will be updated (i.e., erased and
downloaded); comment out (with a semi-colon, ";") or delete the FV field to
update only the repeater configuration parameters. This field also indicates
the type of repeater (2008 or 2016). For example, 8-port repeaters use
8NWx.xx and 16-port repeaters use NWVx.xx.
