pulsAR radio Operator’s Manual
D-3
The same functionality as above (see Radio MAC address) can be achieved by providing the radio
serial number, instead of the radio physical address. Note that you should not include the initial UC
characters of the serial number (i.e. type 11078 instead of UC11078)
example:
>econ -r 11787
Local Physical Address
Even though econsole identifies the PC local physical address automatically, there are some cases in
which the user wants to specify the local address on his/her own. These cases usually arise when there
are multiple NIC cards with the same names under WinNT operating system. In such case, the econ
might pick up the wrong MAC address, and therefore the user should supply manually the physical
address as a command line argument.
example:
>econ -m 00:78:24:22:BA:4F
Inverse Screen Colors
You can change the default settings (white texture on black background) by providing the -b option,
which will change the settings to black characters on white background.
example:
>econ -b
Change the console window size
Currently you can specify two values, either 25 or 50. These values indicate the number of lines of
the MS-DOS window.
example:
>econ -l 50
Help
Function keys, including F1, are activated after you get connected to a radio. If you want to get help
from the command line, you can use the -h argument.
example:
>econ -h
Syntax:
econ <argument list>
argument list = argument list | argument | {}
argument = -o outputfile | -i inputfile | -r MAC address
Examples
Let's say you want to read a list of commands from the text file called in.txt, and capture the output to
a text file called out.txt. You are also interested only in a specific radio with MAC address equal to
00:78:24:22:BA:4F. In that case, you will start the EConsole with the following arguments (the
arguments order is irrelevent):
>econ -i in.txt -o out.txt -r 00:78:24:22:BA:4F or
