Additional description
Firmware version, part number and information requests
N
In a query response, an asterisk (*) after the version number indicates the version that is currently used.
A question mark (? or ?.??) indicates that the factory default firmware is the only firmware loaded in the IPL T S unit.
A carat (^) indicates the version of firmware that should be running, but, since a mode 1 reset was performed, the factory default firmware version is loaded and running instead.
An exclamation point (!) indicates that the firmware is corrupted.

Responses to commands differ depending on which, if any, verbose response mode the IPL T S device is in. See the CV command (

Factory-installed firmware is different from
the bootstrap firmware, but it is also not user-
replaceable. This firmware was installed at
the factory; it is the version the controller
reverts to after a mode 1 reset (see ch. 2).
Example:
3Q 3Q
1.00(1.18-IPL Series -Thu, 20 Jan 2005 09:41:47 GMT)

In this example the factory firmware version
is 1.00 and the IP Link kernel version is 1.18
for the IPL T S unit, dated 20 January 2005.

is 1.01, the IP Link kernel version is 1.31, for
the IPL T S device, dated 28 February, 2005.
