Boot Console Commands

Use this command table to configure an EtherLite module with Boot Console. More information on Boot Console is available at the Digi website at http://support.digi.com.

Notes:

  1. The commands are case-sensitive. The Ethernet cable must be reattached after the commands are entered to allow the changes to be stored and activated.
  2. To store commands permanently in flash RAM, such as gw, ip, sm, ahip, ahm, and tftpip, be sure to follow that command with the store command.
