Command format:
network_config --mode <DHCP|static> --ip <ip addr> --mask <mask> --broadcast
<broadcast> --gateway <gateway>]
Example use:
network_config --mode static --ip 192.168.1.50 --mask 255.255.255.0 --broadcast
192.168.1.255 --gateway 192.168.1.1
We recommend that the USB-to-Serial adapter is installed in one of the two USB ports when
the system is powered on. If not, you may need to power the system down, plug the cable in
and re-apply power. The USB-to-Serial adapter cables are programmed to provide users access
to the command port (Part No. 94000-115200) or to communicate with a 5071A Cesium Clock
(Part No. 94001-5071A). These cables are NOT interchangeable. By default, pressing and
holding the Display pushbutton on the front panel for approximately 10 seconds will reset the
IP address to the default of 192.168.0.1. The default IP address will display on the front panel
after it is set. If the button is held down too long and the IP Address is set to the default by
mistake, you may be able to clear this by pulling the LAN connection on the rear panel and
plugging the connector back in. If not, power-cycle the unit to restore the proper network
settings. This front panel IP reset feature can be disabled using the frontpanel_button
command. Users are cautioned that the reset feature is ON by default and must be turned off if
this is not the desired behavior.
Users can view the current network settings using the network command. This will display the
current user settings.

Q5: Is the GNSS antenna included with the purchase of the SyncSystem 4380A?
A5: Yes. A dual band (L1 & L2) NovAtel GPS-704-WB antenna is included with the purchase of
the unit. Use of this antenna is strongly recommended since there are several key performance
benefits associated with using both bands, e.g., real-time corrections for ionospheric effects
and improvements in the precision of the automated antenna survey results.
Q6: Will the SyncSystem 4380A work with a different antenna?
A6: Yes, but the antenna should support the L1 and L2 bands. Be sure to check that the
antenna will work with the voltages provided by the 4380A (+5 or +12 Volts DC) and set the
correct operating voltage based on the antenna’s specifications. If the antenna requires
different voltages, we recommend setting the antenna voltage to ZERO and using a BIAS-T to
