
G3LIB: this menu offers an interface to be able to configure the G3-PLC library and
access additional parameters that are not specified in the G3-PLC protocol.

IPv6: the IPv6 menu offers the possibility to drive a specific firmware with the IPv6 on
the top of G3. This feature will not be described in this document. Please contact your
ST local support for additional information.

TEST: the TEST menu offers an interface for test purposes.
Each menu provides one specific SAP layer of the G3-PLC stack. In order to access a given
SAP layer, the G3-PLC implementation needs to be configured to work in a specific
operational mode.
In order to do this, the G3LIB section exports the HI-MODE-SET command, which can set
one of the following values:

0x00 - PHY_MODE: the PHY only working mode. The device may perform all the
operations described by the G3-PLC standard for the PHY layer.

0x01 - MAC_MODE: the MAC working mode. The device may perform all the
operations described by the G3-PLC standard for the MAC layer.

0x02 - ADP_MODE: the ADP/6LoWPAN working mode. The device may perform all the
operations described by the G3-PLC standard for the adaptation layer.

0x03 - BOOT_MODE (default): the BOOT working mode. The device may perform all
the operations described by the G3-PLC standard for the adaptation layer. In addition,
the bootstrap application is activated. This is the default mode of operation.
Additional operational modes (such as IPv6) may be present. The related functions may be
used in conjunction with specific firmware projects that may be obtained from your local
support.
3.3 GUI and Plugin Settings
Under the Plugin Settings button (1) represented in Figure 5 , some advanced G3-PLC GUI
features may be enabled or disabled.

Request/Response Trace Layout: it changes the layout of the trace panel

Asynchronous Rx message thread: see Section 3.4 on page 12

TESTLAB panel: enables the test panel as described in Section 8 on page 38

Sniffer MAC Key: the 128-bit key used by the MAC layer to cipher data. Configuring the
key is necessary to decipher the MAC frames captured by the Sniffer.
Additional information (i.e.: the version numbers) related to the G3-PLC GUI may be
checked under the Plugin Information and ST PowerLine GUI buttons.
