Appendix B – Telnet (Terminal) Commands

Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
Telnet Commands (continued)
REBOOT
Reboots the DXLink Transmitter or Receiver.
Example:
>REBOOT
Rebooting...
RENEW DHCP
Renews / releases the current DHCP lease for the DXLink Transmitter or Receiver.
Note:
Because sending this command can result in the unit acquiring a new DHCP address
and the functionality of the endpoints is dependent on the mated IP addresses of the TX (host)
and RX (device), the USB connection may need to be re-established.
Example:
>RENEW DHCP
RESET FACTORY
Resets the device’s stored parameters to factory default state including removal of all security
settings, resetting to DHCP.
This command will cause an automatic reboot.
Note:
This command does not reset the device to the factory software image.
SET CONNECTION
Sets the Master connection settings interactively, allowing the user to specify the mode (for
descriptions of various connection modes, see page 116).
• If the mode is TCP or UDP, the Master URL and port number can be specified as well.
• If Auto is selected, the System number can be specified.
• After all data is entered, if the parameters have changed, the DXLink Transmitter or
Receiver will disconnect from the Master, and begin trying to connect with the new settings.
Note:
These changes do not require a reboot to take effect.
SET DEVICE
Sets the device number, and stores it in non-volatile memory.
Syntax:
SET DEVICE <num>
The valid range of device numbers is 0 to 31999.
• If the user enters a number outside that range, then no change will be made and the DXLink
Transmitter or Receiver will issue an error message.
• A Device Number of ‘0’ means that the DXLink Transmitter or Receiver will accept the
auto-assigned device number from the Master.
• If the new device number is different from the old device number, the DXLink Transmitter or
Receiver will disconnect from the Master, and begin trying to connect with the new settings.
Note:
These changes do not require a reboot to take effect.
SET DNS
Sets the DNS configuration of the DXLink Transmitter or Receiver, only as applied to Static IP
Mode (DNS settings in DHCP Mode are received from the DHCP server).
Syntax:
SET DNS
This command prompts you to enter a Domain Name, DNS IP #1, DNS IP #2, and DNS IP #3.
• Enter Y (yes) to approve/store the information in the Master.
• Enter N (no) cancels the operation.
Note:
The device must be rebooted to enable new settings.
Example:
>SET DNS
-- Enter New Values or just hit Enter to keep current settings --
Enter Domain Suffix: amx.com
Enter DNS Entry 1 : 192.168.20.5
Enter DNS Entry 2 : 12.18.110.8
Enter DNS Entry 3 : 12.18.110.7
You have entered: Domain Name: amx.com
DNS Entry 1: 192.168.20.5
DNS Entry 2: 12.18.110.8
DNS Entry 3: 12.18.110.7
Is this correct? Type Y or N and Enter -> Y
Settings written. Device must be rebooted to enable new settings
