SECTION 5: SOFTWARE
Overview
The MPS4264 is essentially a single user network server
that supports connections from a Telnet Client, Web
Browser Client, Binary Client, FTP Client (for data transfers)
and FTP Server (for file transfers). The MPS4264 supports
serial communication that is solely used to set a limited
group of configuration variables for diagnostics or when
the IP address is not known. The MPS4264 also supports a
limited number of commands from a multicast master. It
also acts as a multicast master. This design allows a single
MPS4264 to reissue commands to multiple MPS4264s
acting as slaves.
Command Format
Each of the commands are explained with the following
sections: command, syntax, arguments, description, and
returns.
COMMAND lists the name of the command.
SYNTAX lists the format of the command. The following
conventions are used:
BP
- Boldface letters indicate command keywords and
operators. Within the discussion of syntax, bold type
indicates that the text must be entered exactly as
shown.
<parameter> - Words in <> indicate place holders for
parameters you must supply.
[parameter] - Words in [] indicate place holders for
optional parameters that you are not required to
supply.
data
- Example data is shown in
italics
.
data
- Example commands are show in
bold
.
, - Commas separate options, only one of the options
may be used.
<CR> - The carriage-return key, sometimes marked as a
bent arrow, Enter, or Return on the key board, is called
<CR>.
Spaces, as used in the syntax, are entered as spaces.
DESCRIPTION describes the function of the command.
RETURNS lists the format of the information that the unit
returns to the host.
A PROMPT (>) will be output when the MPS4264 is ready to
accept a command.
TCP/IP does not guarantee that packet boundaries will be
maintained between a Host and a MPS4264. Therefore, ALL
commands from a Host MUST be terminated properly with
one of two options using the NL configuration variable. The
two options are:
CR-LF (ASCII 13 - ASCII 10) or CR (ASCII 13)
The maximum string length for commands send to the
MPS4264 is 79 characters. Any command received that is
longer than 79 characters will be discarded and an error
will be generated.
When a communications variable is modified (those in the
LIST IP group), the MPS4264 program must be restarted,
preferably with the RESTART command, in order for the
changes to take effect.
Output Scan Data Formatting and
Routing
The MPS4000 supports four data destinations. They are:
FTP Server, Telnet Client, Web Browser Client, and Binary
Client. The data destination is based on the connections,
configurations, and source of command. The following
table describes the output data routing based on the
