Static LAN Configuration

This command set and queries the static ethernet configuration of the device. The static configuration allows user to specify the ip, gateway, and subnet mask of the unit on a network.

<string> static IP address: The desired IP address of the unit.
<string> gateway: The network gateway.
<string> the subnet mask of the network the device is connected to.

A new valid configuration will automatically be applied to the device. The user will be required to access the unit through the new configuration.

Current LAN Configuration

This command queries the current ethernet configuration of the device.

DHCP Configuration

This command sets and queries the DHCP configuration of the device.

If the DHCP configuration is set to OFF, the device is configured to the static Ethernet configuration (see :SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:CONFig).

If the DHCP configuration is set to ON, the device will obtain its IP address, gateway, and subnet mask from the DHCP server in the network.

This set command should be used to caution, as changing the Ethernet configuration will result in temporary loss of communication with the device.

<ON|OFF>

DNS Configuration

This command sets and queries the DNS configuration of the device. Currently, only http://www.noip.com is available for use.

DNS Host Name: Desired host name of the device.
DNS Username: noip.com username.
DNS Password: noip.com password.

<string>,<string>,<string>

Domain Name System Server

This command sets Domain Name System Server (DNS Server) 1 or 2. The DNS Server is used to resolve a Domain Name. This DNS Server will be contacted after any DNS Server assigned by DHCP Setting, if applicable, and will be contacted first (1) or second (2) if no DNS Name Server is assigned by DHCP Server or DHCP Feature is Disabled.

To remove a DNS Server, set its value to the empty string.

<string>

 

Local Host Name

This command sets and retrieves the local host name of the instrument. A valid hostname may contain only the ASCII letters ’a’ through ’z’ (in a case-insensitive manner), the digits ’0’ through ’9’, and the hyphen (’-’). They cannot start/end with ’-’. No other symbols, punctuation characters, or white space are permitted.

<string>

NFS Mount Remote Host

This command retrieves the IP address of the remote host and the path to the remotely mounted folder, if NFS is mounted.

System Date

This command sets and queries the system’s internal calendar. The three parameters for this command are <year>,<month> and <day>. The query response message will consist of three fields separated by commas: <year>,<month>,<day>. The year will be entered as a four-digit number, including century and millennium information. This will not be affected by a *RST command.

<number>,<number>,<number>

Reset System to Factory Default

This command presets parameters in all applications as well as system settings to their factory default values. Last saved settings will be deleted.

Master Reset System to Default

This command presets parameters in all applications as well as system settings to their factory default values. Last saved settings, log files, and user files will all be deleted.

System Error Queue

If an error occurs, the error number and message are placed in the error queue, which can be read by this query command. Errors are cleared by reading them.

Negative error numbers (command error, execution error, device-dependent error,query error) are standard SCPI errors.

Positive error numbers are device specific errors, not standard SCPI errors.

The error queue is also cleared by *CLS, *RST, and when power is turned on. If more errors have occurred than can fit in the buffer, the last error stored in the queue (the most recent error) is replaced with -350, Queue overflow. No additional errors are stored until removing errors from the queue. If no errors have occurred when reading the error queue, the instrument responds with 0, No error.

Firmware Update

Initiate a firmware update from the MSUS whose path is specified as parameters. If the requested firmware package is not recognized, an appropriate error will be added to the error queue. Otherwise, the instrument will verify that the package is safe to install, update to the new firmware, and finally reboot. Before rebooting all remote clients will be disconnected.

The two parameters for this command are file name with relative path and mass storage device. Both parameters are case sensitive. Use "/" as a directory separator. The available mass storage devices can be retrieved by the :MMEMory:CATalog:MSUSs command. The command will fail if the file doesn’t exist or the mass storage device is not present.

<string>,<string>

Remote Firmware Update

Initiate a remote firmware update to the package whose name is specified as a parameter. Use :SYSTem:FIRMware:UPDate:REMote:LIST? to inspect the packages that can be installed. If the requested firmware package is not recognized, an appropriate error will be added to the error. Otherwise, the instrument will download the specified firmware package, verify that the package is safe to install, update to the new firmware, and finally reboot. Before rebooting all remote clients will be disconnected.

If the <string data> argument begins with (case insensitive) any of

then the firmware update will be downloaded from that URL. The URL must be percent encoded per RFC-2396 section 2.4.1.

<string>

Check For Firmware Update

Check whether the instrument firmware is at the latest version. This command will access the package list specified by SYST:FIRM:UPD:REM:SOUR and return a response of the form <string>,<number> where <string> is the name of the latest firmware package, and <number> is 1 if the latest firmware package is newer than the version of firmware currently installed (a firmware update is available), or 0 if the current instrument firmware version matches the latest version (the instrument is up to date). Clients can update the instrument to the latest firmware by passing the <string> component of the response as a parameter to the SYST:FIRM:UPD:REM command.

Remote Firmware Package List

This command queries the instrument for a list of firmware packages that can be installed remotely. The package list will be populated from a resource file that is downloaded from a URL specified by the current value of :SYSTem:FIRMware:UPDate:REMote:SOURce. The response is ASCII response consisting of one or more comma-delimited package names.

For example: 2.0.0,1.0.0 These package names enumerate the valid parameter values to the :SYSTem:FIRMware:UPDate:REMote command.

Remote Firmware Package Source

This command sets or queries the instrument’s remote firmware update package list source. This source must be an http URL that is accessible to the instrument over the current network interface.

The set version of this command takes a string that spells the URL to the package list file. The query version returns that string. The default value points to the repository on anritsu.com where official firmware packages for this instrument are distributed. Most users will never need to change this setting from the default.

The package list file must be a JSON file that has a minimum structure. The root object must contain a "version" string (which is reserved but currently unused), a "packages" array of zero or more package objects (each at minimum have a "name" and a "url"), and a "default" string that matches one of the package names, or is "".

An example package list file is shown below:

}

When the package source is set, the instrument will attempt to download the file and validate it according to the above rules before making the change permanent. If the file cannot be accessed or the file does not conform to the minimum criteria, a device specific error will be added to the error queue and the package source will remain unchanged.

<string>

Firmware Version
