11.3 Command Overview
The console provides standard access and configuration methods for the
various network parameters and configurations supported by the ETH-100.
The number and type of supported console commands may vary with different
console version and application version firmware. This section will present an
overview of the supported console commands.
It is important to note that unless otherwise indicated, each of these
commands will become effective immediately after it has been successfully
entered. This may have several repercussions; for example, if you change the
IP address of the device via the Telnet console, then you will lose the telnet
connection to the device (as it was a connection to the old IP address) and
therefore must re-connect to the console if you wish to continue changing
parameters. Also note that the console commands are not case-sensitive.
Help:
This command shows the console version and an overview of all
available commands. As indicated in the returned help information, typing
“Help <command>” with a specific command will return help information
specific to that command. Refer to Figure 13 for the help command output via
Telnet. All further display screens shown in this section will be from Telnet,
although they will look identical when accessed via the serial channel (MMI
port).

Set:
The “Set” command actually encompasses several subcommands, each
of which allows setting a different configuration parameter. To set a
parameter, two arguments are required: the parameter’s name and the value
to set it to. Figure 14 shows an example of changing the IP address of a
device to 192.168.1.1. After this command is entered, the device will then
reconfigure itself to allow network access via the IP address 192.168.1.1.
