Figure 12: "Set" Command Overview and Implementation
Show:
Figure 13 shows an example of this command, which displays current
configuration information. Some of this information (IP Address, Netmask and
Gateway) is configurable via the “set” command. The “Firmware Version” field
indicates the unit’s current application firmware version. The “Ping
Configuration” field indicates whether or not the ability to remotely configure the
unit via the ARP method is currently allowed (refer to section 13.1).
Figure 13: "Show" Command Overview
Xmodem:
The “xmodem” command allows unit configuration files to be
transferred between the gateway and a PC. As Xmodem is a serial protocol,
the xmodem command only applies to the serial console (RS232 port).
Whenever unit configuration is completed, it is highly recommended that a
backup copy of the configuration file be downloaded from the unit to a PC. One
reason for this is in case it becomes necessary to restore a previous
configuration at a later time. Another reason is that it may be desirable to load
multiple units with the same configuration. Configuration files contain all point
and port settings (but not network configuration information, such as IP
address). A downloaded configuration file can be uploaded to any compatible
ETH-200, allowing the user to clone multiple units with the same configuration.
