5:  Commands and Levels 
EDS-MD® Wired IoT Device Gateway Command Reference  657 
 
command mode serial string 
Enables user to enter a custom string at boot time to 
enter command mode. 
command mode serial string <string> 
Sets a string that can be entered at boot time to 
enter command mode. <string> = text with possible 
binary characters. Within [] use binary decimal up to 
255 or hex up to 0xFF. Within {} specify decimal 
milliseconds time delay. 
command mode signon message <string> 
Sets a sign-on message that is sent from the serial 
port when the device boots and when the line is in 
command mode. <string> = text with possible binary 
characters. Within [] use binary decimal up to 255 or 
hex up to 0xFF. 
command mode wait time <milliseconds> 
Sets boot-up wait time for command mode serial 
string. <milliseconds> = wait time. 
configure current settings 
Configures line with the current value of settings. 
Uses seven bits for data on the line. 
Uses eight bits for data on the line. 
Restores the default speed of 9600 bits per second. 
Restores the default of eight data bits. 
Restores the default of no flow control. 
Restores the default of no parity. 
Restores the default of one stop bit. 
Restores the factory default threshold. 
Restores the default xoff character on this line. 
Restores the default xon character on this line. 
Exits to the enable level 
Uses hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control on the line. 
Does not provide flow control on the line. 
Uses software (xon/xoff characters) flow control on 
the line. 
Sets the gap timer in milliseconds. If some data has 
been received, it will be forwarded after this time 
since the last character. 
Kills command mode session on the Line 
Enters the line level. <line> = number of the line 
(serial port) to be configured. 
Sets the name for this line. 
Restores the serial counters to the aggregate 
values. 
Disables command mode for the current line. 
no command mode signon message 
Clears the signon message displayed at boot time 
and when entering command mode. 
Removes the gap timer, so forwarding depends on 
the line speed. 
Removes the name of this line. 
Uses a parity bit on the line for even parity. 
Does not use a parity bit on the line. 
Uses a parity bit on the line for odd parity. 
Uses no protocol on the line. 
Applies tunnel protocol on the line.
