F100 EA – Ethernet Address
Use function F100 EA to display the Ethernet Address (MAC Address) (Note: An Ethernet or MAC
Address is not the same thing as an IP Address), a fixed, six-byte, hexadecimal value specific to the
unit’s standard network port. The first three bytes are registered to Symmetricom Inc.; the last three
bytes are the hex value identifying the network port.
To display the Ethernet address of the unit standard network port, enter:
F100 EA<CR>
The XLi responds:
F100 EA:00-A0-69-xx-xx-xx<CR><LF>
where “ 00-A0-69 ” is the portion of the address assigned to the manufacturer, and “xx-xx-xx” is unit’s
unique address (in hexadecimal).
An example of the response is:
F100 EA:00-A0-69-99-00-37
Attempts to set this field will be rejected with a syntax error message.
F100 IP – IP Address
Use function F100 IP to display or change the unit’s IP Address.
Use the following format to display the IP address:
F100<S>IP<CR>
Use the following format to set the IP address and restart the unit, enter:
F100<S>IP<S><nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn><CR>
where:
F = ASCII character F
100 = unit function number
<S> = space
IP = specify IP command
<nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn> = dotted decimal address (0 to 255)
<CR> = input line terminator
