Chapter 7 Determining the Active Mode
There are two ways to check if NE-4100-CMD is in Command Mode or Communication Mode.
By Network Enabler Administrator
Network Enabler Administrator displays clearly the active operation mode in the Configuration
panel’s left Information column. In the example shown below, Status is listed as Data Mode,
which indicates normal data transmission.
Data Mode
Data Mode implies normal data transmission. All data communication and configuration functions
are activate, and running in full-duplex.
Command Mode
Command Mode implies that the NE module is being configured. In this case, Ethernet data
communication will cease. All data from the serial port will be parsed, and valid commands will
be used to change the configuration.
