npsh Basic Commands
Before reading on about the M204’s command set, it is important to understand some
of the basic commands involved.
Set commands affect only current settings, not stored settings in EEPROM. The save
command is used after set to save the new settings to EEPROM.
Store commands only affect stored settings in EEPROM but not the current settings.
This means the M204 must be reset to make any changes take effect. For example, if
you change the current settings of the IP address and the netmask, this will only take
effect after a reset (warm boot) from EEPROM, or after a power-on (cold boot).
