Command

Command Name

Function

Send Configuration

Sets configuration of unit from hex records.

PI x.x.x.x

Ping

Pings unit with IP address x.x.x.x to check device

status.

ARP Table

Shows the unit’s ARP table entries.

TCP Connection

Table

Shows all incoming and outgoing TCP connections.

Network Connection

Shows the unit’s current IP address, gateway,

subnet mask, and DNS server.

Reset

Resets the unit.

Quit

Exits diagnostics mode.

G0, G1, ....,Ge, Gf

Get configuration

from memory page

Gets a memory page of configuration information

from the device.

S0, S1,...,Se, Sf

Set configuration to

memory page

Sets a memory page of configuration information

on the device.

Get MAC address

Shows the unit's 6-byte MAC.

Set Security record

Sets the Security record without the encryption key

and length parameters. The entire record must still

be written, but the encryption-specific bytes do not

need to be provided (they can be null since they

are not overwritten).

Scan

Initiates a wireless scan if the wireless interface is

enabled. Reports any stations found, including

BSSID, SSID, and RSSI. If SA is followed by a

string, the string is used to filter SSIDs before

reporting. If the BSS does not broadcast its SSID,

only the BSSID and RSSI are returned.

Network Status

Reports the network interfaces’ statuses. Includes

potentially negotiated parameters like speed/duplex

for Ethernet or BSSID, encryption, authentication

for wireless interfaces.

Set IP address, host

bits, gateway , and

DNS server IP

Example:

co 192.168.0.10 8 192.168.0.1 10001 192.168.1.10
with

192.168.0.10 = IP address of the MatchPort
8 = number of host bits
192.168.0.1 = gateway IP address
10001 = port number of the MatchPort
192.168.1.10 = IP address of the DNS Server

The MatchPort stores the setup and performs a

reset. It sends an

before the reset if the

command was OK.

Wireless Status

Displays wireless device server status that includes

packets received, transmitted, and dropped.

Responses to some of the commands are given in Intel Hex format.
