13.3 Command Overview
The console provides standard access and configuration methods for the
various network parameters and configurations supported by the unit. This
section will present an overview of the supported console commands.
It is important to note that unless otherwise indicated, each of these commands
will become effective immediately after it has been successfully entered. This
may have several repercussions; for example, if you change the IP address of
the device via the Telnet console, then you will lose the telnet connection to the
device (as it was a connection to the old IP address) and therefore must re-
connect to the console if you wish to continue changing parameters. Also note
that the console commands are not case-sensitive.
Help: This command shows the console version and an overview of all
available commands. As indicated in the returned help information, typing
“Help <command>” with a specific command will return help information specific
to that command. Refer to Figure 9 for the help command output via Telnet.
All further display screens shown in this section will be from Telnet, although
they will look identical when accessed via the RS232 port.
Figure 9: "Help" Command
Set: The “Set” command actually encompasses several subcommands, each
of which allows setting a different configuration parameter. To set a parameter,
two arguments are required: the parameter’s name and the value to set it to.
Figure 10 shows an example of changing the IP address of a device to
192.168.16.120. After this command is entered, the device will then
reconfigure itself to allow network access via the IP address 192.168.16.120.
