password must be set prior to the lock command being issued (the gateways are shipped with
no password), otherwise the lock command has no effect. If a password is set, the gateway
automatically locks the configuration at the end of 10 minutes with no command activity.
save-configuration
destination=main or alternate
Saves the current set of gateway operating parameters into one of the two non-volatile
configurations. If the destination is not specified it defaults to
main .
Examples:
> save-configuration destination=alternate
> save
unlock
debug-mode=”ASCII string”
enable-configuration=”ASCII string”
This command unlocks the access to various commands. The enable-configuration password
(set with the change-password command) unlocks the various commands listed in this manual
that alter the radio configuration. The
debug-mode is a factory mode used for troubleshooting
by customer support.
Examples:
> unlock enable-configuration=bh7g8
4.4 Major Configuration Parameters
These commands change several operating parameters that are part of the NetCrossing Gateway
configuration. When entering commands with multiple parameters, if a parameter is not included,
that parameter keeps its current value.
bridge
The gateway implements a self learning bridging algorithm that transfers the Ethernet packets,
as appropriate, between the LAN and the WAN ports (see section 2.2). In this algorithm the
gateway stores all station addresses, and ports (LAN or WAN) where they have been seen. The
gateway has capacity to store 500 entries in this Ethernet table. This command sets the
timeouts relating to these entries. You can use the
show ethernet command to display the
current list of stations known by the gateway.
station-timeout-sec=5..10000
Sets the time the gateway will retain, in its internal table, Ethernet addresses obtained from the
network.
