the network it is connected to
or
<speed> and <duplex> where speed is either 10 or

IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway IP, and MAC Address.
Example:
>GET IP
HostName EXB
Type DHCP
IP Address 192.168.44.86
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP 192.168.44.2
MAC Address 00:0f:3c:00:55:04
GET LOCATION
Displays the location parameter for NDP, which is set by using the
SET LOCATION
command (see page 117).
GET SN
Returns the device’s serial number.
MSG [ON|OFF]
Enables/Disables extended diagnostic messages.
• MSG ON [error|warning|info|debug] sets the terminal program to display log
messages generated by the Master.
The level of log printed to the terminal window depends both on the level used
when sending the message and the output level selected with “msg on.”
For example if log output is enabled via “msg on warning” then logs produced at
levels AMX_ERROR and AMX_WARNING will be displayed, but not logs
produced at levels AMX_INFO or AMX_DEBUG.
The order of severity from highest to lowest is ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG.
If no severity is supplied with “msg on,” the default setting is WARNING.
• MSG OFF disables the display.
Example:
> MSG ON
Extended diagnostic information messages turned on.
> MSG OFF
Extended diagnostic information messages turned off.
NDP UNBIND
Clears the NDP binding to a Master (takes effect after next boot).
PING [ADDRESS]
Pings an address (IP or URL), to test network connectivity to and confirms the
presence of another networked device.
The syntax matches the PING application in Windows or Linux.
Example:
>ping 192.168.29.209
192.168.29.209 is alive.
REBOOT
Reboots the DXLink Transmitter or Receiver.
Example:
>REBOOT
Rebooting...
RENEW DHCP
