Table G-1.Serial Port Command Set for SmartBits Chassis
Command Description
HELP The HELP command displays the available commands.
VER This command displays the chassis firmware version.
IPADDR [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Display [or modify] IP address.
This command allows changing the SmartBits IP
address. The change takes effect following a power cycle
or reset.
If a new IP address is not entered, the SmartBits will
display the current IP address.
If the IP address or the syntax is bad, it will display the
following error message:
IP address entered is not accepted.
SVIPADDR [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] This command specifies and saves the SmartBits IP
address. The change takes effect following a power cycle
or reset.
PORTNO [xxxxx] Display or modify the TCP port number for the
SmartBits chassis.
IDLEMAX [x] Display [or modify] idle logout time, in seconds (10
seconds to a maximum of 4294967295 seconds).
This command sets a time limit for the SmartBits
controller to close any inactive open connection. The
SmartBits controller has been designed to be a high
performance multi-user system. Any user who connects
to the controller but does not use it (i.e., does not send
any command) will be disconnected and all resources
freed after the set idle time limit expires.
If a new idle time limit value is not entered, the
SmartBits controller will display the current idle time
limit value. The largest value for the
idle_time_limit_value that is accepted is 42949672.
