IP Address Commands
E Desk has some useful IP and reset tools that may be useful when returning to older systems for service work.
E Desk will automatically output its IP Address through the RS-232 port when it is powered up and functioning.
Simply have a straight through RS-232 cable connected to E Desk and a PC with HyperTerminal running. When E
Desk is powered up it will print the data in the HyperTerminal screen.
Get/Set IP Address
By typing ‘GET 0 IPADDR<LF>’ in HyperTerminal E Desk will reveal the IP Address it is set to.
Substituting the ‘0’ for a 1, 2, 3, etc. will tell E Desk to reveal the IP Address for the device whose number is
1, 2, 3 etc. A ‘0’ asks for the IP Address of the E Desk you are currently connected to. Note: You can only
use a 1, 2, 3, etc. if there is a system loaded into the E Desk. If it is a single device system, the only device
number will be 1.
If an E Desk does not have a system loaded into it, you can set the IP Address via the RS-232 port.
Example: SET 0 IPADDR 169.254.1.200<LF>. If there is no DAP file in the E Desk, and the command is
typed correctly, E Desk will send back a ‘+OK’ response. You will need to power cycle the E Desk for the
new IP Address to take effect. As stated above, E Desk will output the IP Address when powered up, or you
can use the GET IPADDR command mentioned above.
Reset
In rare instances it may become necessary to reset the E Desk device. A reset can be accomplished
through the device maintenance screen, and this is the desired method for a reset. However, there is a
reset command available via the RS-232 port. Simply type: CLEAR 0 DEVCONFIG<LF> and the device will
be reset.
