Set/display IP address

Although normally done from within the the Manager program, you can also display or change the IP adresss of either LAN port via the RS232 (DTE) Maintenance port on the back of the IP Office. This may occasionally be useful, eg, when the IP address is not known.

DTE Port Settings:

• The DTE port requires a (straight) serial cable between your PC/Laptop and the IP Office
• Configure PuTTY, HyperTerminal, etc, for serial as follows: 38,400/8/N/1/VT100

Procedure:

Enter the following commands (in bold) when the IPOffice is up and running:

at
OK
at-debug
<IPOffice Manager Version 0.2>

Current LAN1: ipaddr: 192.168.42.1 mask: 255.255.255.0     LAN port
Current LAN2: ipaddr: 128.75.0.100 mask: 255.255.255.0     WAN port
Enter which lan interface (lan1 or lan2): lan1             or <enter> to leave unchanged

Enter IP address (a.b.c.d): 10.10.10.1

Enter IP mask (a.b.c.d): 255.255.255.0

Add default gateway (yes or no)? 10.10.10.254

Configuration has been saved.
Reboot now (yes or no)? no                   enter to 'yes' to reboot system immediately
                                             a reboot is required to apply new IP settings

Issue the 'reboot' command later.

Check LAN port status with the following command:

Wed 26/2/2014 10:33:23, Hello>lanstatus
LAN1 is connected (negotiated) at 100Mb full duplex
LAN2 is not connected

Alternate method:

You can also discover the IP addresses with the system command, they're displayed in Hexadecimal.
Convert the values to a dotted-decimal IP address with the following (javascript) calculator.

Hex IP-address converter:

Example:

at
OK
at-debug
<IPOffice Manager Version 0.2>
Wed 26/2/2014 10:35:25, Hello>system
SystemRecord
Ipaddr    = c0a82a01 ffffff00 2 200         LAN port address and subnet-mask in HEX
Ipaddr2   = 804b0064  ffffff00 2 1            WAN port address and subnet-mask in HEX
S/W Build = IP 500 V2 8.1(63)

Enter the HEX values into the Hex IP-address converter above to find the dotted decimal values.
In this example, Ipaddr (LAN) is 192.168.42.1, Ipaddr2 (WAN) is 128.75.0.100, and the subnet-mask is 255.255.255.0
