Procedure

The Set and Get IP address commands provide an alternative method for querying and changing the IP
address of ControlSpace Devices when the Hardware Manager in ControlSpace Designer software is
unavailable. This can be particularly useful when the network settings for an ESP (which does not have a
front panel display) are unknown, but you do have access to the RS232 serial port.

To query the current IP address for the device:
IP<CR>
Response:
IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <CR>

To set or change the IP address for the device:
IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <CR>

EXAMPLES:
IP<CR> Query the current IP address for the device
IP 192.168.0.160<CR> Response indicating an IP address of 192.168.0.160 is set
IP 192.168.1.160<CR> Command changing the IP address to 192.168.1.160 (after boot)

Note: When using the IP command to change IP address, the changes do not take effect until after the
device has been re-booted.
