Response to
Query
Software Image
IMG=
IMG?
1 byte
Command or Query.
Sets or returns the Current Active Software Image in the form x, where:
1=Bulk Image # 1 currently active
2=Bulk Image # 2 currently active
COMMAND EXAMPLE:
<0001/IMG=1{CR} (instructs the unit to load firmware from image #1 at the next reset /
power up).
QUERY EXAMPLE:
<0001/IMG?{CR} (queries the image number that the firmware loaded during bootup)
NOTE:
If you send the IMG command and then query the IMG value, the numbers may not be equal because the
command tells the firmware which image to boot from at the next bootup, while the query reports the image that
the firmware booted from on the previous bootup.

Management IP
Address
IPA=
IPA?
18 bytes
Command or Query.
Sets or returns the Management IP Address and network prefix for the ‘J6 | COM1’ 10/100 BaseT Ethernet
management port, in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.yy, where:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx=the IP Address
yy=the network prefix (8 to 30)
Default value: 192.168.001.004.24
COMMAND EXAMPLE:
<0001/IPA=192.168.001.004.24{CR}
CAUTION:
Changing the Management IP Address through the Telnet interface requires you to power cycle the
unit, and then restart a new Telnet session with the new IP Address. The IP Address that you type into the Telnet
client software does not include the range parameter so it would be: 192.168.1.4

)
3=13V 22kHz Disabled (
SEE NOTE 2
)
