Quick Start Plug and Play
Restarting the Firefly is only necessary when updating the network settings in a DHCP environment, i.e. going from Static to DHCP mode, changing the Host Name, and so on. .
External Control Commands
External control commands require that the computer has an ASCII generating control program, such as Hyper Terminal. The parameters are:
•Serial port 1
•9600 Bps
•Echo typed letters locally
Use the following Visual Circuits commands to configure the Firefly.
FireflySetIpAddress
Syntax
fireflysetipaddr IP Address
FireflySetNetmask
Syntax
fireflysetnetmask netmask
FireflySetGateway
Syntax
fireflysetgateway gateway
FireflySetNetworkType
Syntax
fireflysetnetworktype 1 (DHCP) or 2 (Static)
Filenames and External Commands
When using external commands to handle files, it is necessary for those files to have names without, i.e. sales_video.mpg not sales video.mpg. One convention is to use underscores in place of spaces.
For more information about External Control Commands see, External Control Commands on page 119, and for network configuration, see Network Settings on page 77.
