Note that these items should not be changed while the device is in a connected state to a network.
ifconfig commands take the following structure:
|
ifconfig |
[ <IP address> ][ <MAC address> ] [ netmask <IP address> ] [ gateway <IP address> ] [ auto-dhcp <start|drop> ] |
Note ifconfig by itself will give network status.
|
IP address |
|
|
|
Use a static IP address. IP address must be in dot-decimal notation. Note that this command will return an invalid parameter if the DHCP client is enabled. First disable the DHCP attempts (ifconfig auto-dhcp drop) before running this command. |
|
MAC address |
|
|
|
Redefine the device MAC address. MAC address must be specified in hexadecimal colon notation. This command can only be issued when the MRF24WB0M / MRF24WG0M is in idle mode. Doing so at other times can have unexpected results. |
|
netmask |
|
|
IP address |
Use the specified IP address for the netmask. The netmask value is specified in dot-decimal notation. |
|
gateway |
|
|
IP address |
Configure the gateway address. The gateway value is specified in dot-decimal notation. |
|
auto-dhcp |
|
|
start |
Starts the DHCP client. Only valid if the DHCP module has been compiled in. DHCP client is started by default. |
|
drop |
Stops the DHCP client. A static IP address will need to be assigned to the device. Only valid if the DHCP module has been compiled in. |
