Product specifications

32
SET OEM code where code is the desired 3-character OEM code
SET DEFAULT [note that this resets the entire SX-560 configuration back to the
factory defaults]
SET SERVER DESC description where description is any string up to 32 characters in length
[note that spaces are OK in the description and no quotation
marks are necessary]
INIT [restarts the SX-560 when the user exits the console]
EXIT [exits the console]
Power Configuration
The SX-560 can be set to go into power save mode by using the console command
SET POWER n
where n is 0 for high (power is always on; this is the default setting) and 1 for low (lowest power
consumption). The SHOW POWER command shows the current power configuration.
When power save mode is on, the radio will go to sleep when no activity is detected after a period of time
that is determined by a preset algorithm in the SX-560. The radio will wake up in less than a second if
there is data waiting for it on the access point, and it will wake up immediately if the SX-560 has a data
packet ready to transmit.
Serial Port Emulator
The Serial Port Emulator (SPE) software emulates a standard Windows COM port. That is, it creates a
virtual COM port that functions exactly like the Windows COM1 and COM2 serial ports, except that the
I/O actually goes out over the Ethernet or WLAN to the SX-560 and to the serial device that is connected
to the SX-560. As a result, any application program that uses a standard Windows COM port can also
use the Serial Port Emulator. The SPE is therefore especially useful if you have existing programs that
use Windows COM ports.
The SPE software ican be downloaded from the Silex website. To install it, follow the on-screen
instructions and then restart your computer when the installation is complete. You can now run the SPE
software by clicking Start -> Programs -> silex technology -> Serial Port Emulator -> Serial Port
Emulator.
IMPORTANT: This user interface customization must be done before making any other configuration changes, because the SET
OEM command requires that the SX-560 be reset to the factory default configuration.
