F100 – Network Port Configuration & XLi Firmware

F100 provides two groups of commands:

Group 1, available through the keypad/display and the command line, provides access to network port settings and hardware/Firmware status information.

Group 2, available through the command line only, provides commands for changing system firmware, changing SNMP parameters, changing the user name/password, resetting the unit, and pinging other network devices.

Warning: The F100 commands have the capacity to remove the XLi from the network and disable the XLi’s system firmware. Use judiciously.

Reboot Warning: Saving changes to any F100 parameter using the keypad/display will reboot the XLi. Some of the F100 command line commands also reboot the XLi. These are identified in the following documentation.

Group 1

You can use both the keypad/display and the command line interface to access the following parameters:

Ethernet address: XLi contains a unique Ethernet or Media Access Control (MAC) address comprised of a unique number assigned to the manufacturer, and a unique number assigned to the unit. This is factory set and cannot be changed.

IP Address: Sets a static Internet Protocol (IP) address for the unit.

Subnet Mask: Sets a valid subnet-mask used in IP addressing. Subnetting allows for the more efficient allocation of network addresses and management of network traffic.

Default Gateway: The address of the router that handles packets addressed to IP devices outside the local-area network.

10 100 BASE-T: The network port bandwidth setting, 10 Base-T or AUTO. (10 Base-T only for earlier XLi hardware).

Remote Lockout: Enables or disables remote access through the XLi’s standard network port. Enabling Remote Lockout limits users to the front-panel keypad or Serial I/O port.

Flash CRC: Status - Passed or failed.

RAM: Status - Passed or failed.

Serial: Status - Passed or failed.

Version Test: Status - Passed or failed
