F100 – Network Port Configuration & XL-GPS Firmware
You can reconfigure two or more network parameters in a single entry by sending the F100
command and entering new values. Leading zeros may be omitted when entering IP
Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway. Any field may be omitted and order is not
significant. Blanks are allowed on either side of a colon. The unit reboots after any network
parameter is changed.
F100 EA – Ethernet Address
Use function F100 EA to display the Ethernet Address (MAC Address) (Note: An Ethernet
or MAC Address is not the same thing as an IP Address), a fixed, six-byte, hexadecimal
value specific to the unit’s standard network port. The first three bytes are registered to
Symmetricom Inc.; the last three bytes are the hex value identifying the network port.
To display the Ethernet address of the unit standard network port, enter:
F100 EA<CR>
XL-GPS responds:
F100 EA:00-A0-69-xx-xx-xx<CR><LF>
where “00-A0-69” is the portion of the address assigned to the manufacturer, and “xx-xx-xx”
is unit’s unique address (in hexadecimal).
An example of the response is:
F100 EA:00-A0-69-99-00-37
Attempts to set this field will be rejected with a syntax error message.
F100 IP – IP Address
Use function F100 IP to display or change the unit’s IP Address.
Use the following format to display the IP address:
F100<S>IP<CR>
Use the following format to set the IP address and restart the unit, enter:
F100<S>IP<S><nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn><CR>
where:
F
= ASCII character F
100
= unit function number
