If dynamic addressing is desired, then click on the radio button to the left of the label Obtain an IP address automatically, then proceed directly to step 9 below; this will cause the Q53 to request its TCP/IP parameters from a DHCP server over the network.To specify a static IP address, click on the radio button to the left of the label Use the following IP address: and proceed to step 3 below.3. Enter the IP address in the IP Address field.4. Enter the Q53’s subnet mask in the Subnet Mask field.5. [Optional setting] In order to communicate across subnets with the Q53, enter the address of the default gateway in the Default Gateway field.6. [Optional setting] In order to use host and domain names in addition to dotted quad IP addresses, enter the address of the domain name server in the DNS Server Address field.7. [Optional setting] Enter the suffix of the domain name for the Q53 in the DNS Domain Suffix field.8. [Optional setting] To change the TCP window size, select the desired value in the TCP Window Size combo box.9. Click on "Submit" when done.10. Go to the Restart page and click on "Restart" to apply the new settings to your system.](https://usermanual.wiki/Exegin-Technologies/Q53/User-Guide-1169618-Page-21.png)
![25 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 2009v. Configuring the Q53 on Your NetworkRequired TCP/IP SettingsUsing Telnet 1. Start a Telnet session with the Q53. Type:telnet Q53IPaddresswhere Q53IPaddress is the IP address of the Q53 unit. This will bring up a login prompt. 2. Enter "root" for the User ID and press ENTER at the Password prompt, as by default there is no password set.The following WARNING message is normal at this point and may be ignored.STORED AND CURRENT VALUES DIFFERYou should now see the prompt:Q53IPaddress:root>3. Store the new IP address and netmask in EEPROM so that the setting will remain intact after restart. To do this, enter:store net addr Q53IPaddressstore net mask Q53netmaskwhere: Q53netmask is the netmask address for the Q53.If you would like to communicate with the Q53 from across routers, you will need to make an entry in the "Routing" section. See Communicating across routers on page 26 for further details. 4. [Optional, but recommended] Configure root and guest user passwords with the following commands:set user passwd root newRootPssswdset user passwd guest newGuestPasswd5. Save these configurations to EEPROM. Enter:save6. Verify the IP address and netmask. Enter:list stored net7. Log out of the telnet session with "quit" then restart the Q53 by powering the unit off and then back on again. 8. Test the equipment and configuration after installation is complete.ping Q53IPaddressAn Important Note Once you have configured the unit using any of the above methods, the STAT LED will flash once per second. This means the Q53 is configured and recognizable on the network.The STAT LED will flash when the IP Address is configured; it does not mean that the unit is properly configured, only that an IP address has been saved.](https://usermanual.wiki/Exegin-Technologies/Q53/User-Guide-1169618-Page-23.png)

![60 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 2009viii. Reference InformationComplete Command ReferenceList commandsThese commands list the current or working settings for a particular section within the command line interface shell. To view stored settings in Flash memory, you’ll need to add "stored" to the beginning of any of the following commands. For example, "list net" shows you the current network settings but "list stored net" shows you the settings sitting in Flash. Normally these should match. You may also type "list default" to view the factory default settings.Table 4—List Command OptionsCommand Syntax Descriptionlist all List all current settings.list diff List the differences between the current settings and the stored settings in Flash. Normally, you want these values to match, so issue a "save" command followed by a "restart".list date List the current time and date on the Q53.list dhcp Display the current status of the DHCP client in the Q53. Data includes the client state, server IP address, and the length of the current lease.list [default|stored] ifc Display the module’s physical network interface properties. There is one interface parameter (mode) which denotes the operating mode of the network interface’s physical layer:mode auto - the Q53 will automatically negotiate link speed and duplex with the link peer.mode 10half - the network interface is forced to 10 MB/Sec, half duplex mode.mode 10full - the network interface is forced to 10 MB/Sec, full duplex mode.mode 100half - the network interface is forced to 100 MB/Sec, half duplex mode.mode 100full - the network interface is forced to 10 MB/Sec, full duplex mode.list [default|stored] key List the license details and license key number.list [default|stored] net List all current TCP/IP network settings (e.g. IP address and subnet mask).](https://usermanual.wiki/Exegin-Technologies/Q53/User-Guide-1169618-Page-58.png)
![61 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 2009viii. Reference InformationComplete Command ReferenceSet commandsThese commands alter the current or working settings in memory only. They will be lost if the Q53 is turned off then on. To ensure this does not happen, be sure to issue a "save" command so the current settings get written to Flash.list [default|stored] radio Lists the version, model number, RF channel and receiver state for each Zigbee radio in the Q53.list [default|stored] snmp List SNMP configuration.list [default|stored] sysinfo List the current Q53 system information (e.g. contact name and protocol stacks enabled).list [default|stored] user List the current user definitions (e.g. user names and types).list uptime List the time the unit has been powered up since the last power cycle. (e.g. "Uptime: 12 days, 22:50:23").list [default|stored] zbmac List all current Zigbee settings (e.g. RF channel selections, PAN ID filter and Extended Address Filters).list zbnwk Displays the current Zigbee network status, including the MAC address, PAN ID, Network Neighbour Table and Network Routing Table.list zbnwktest Displays whether the Zigbee network test is currently running, along with the test results.list zipt Displays the host names of the remote Zigbee bridge devices, as well as the UDP port number used to transport Zigbee messages over the IP network.Table 5—Set Command OptionsCommand Syntax Descriptionset sysinfo hostname hostname Set a hostname for use with DDNS.

![63 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 2009viii. Reference InformationComplete Command ReferenceStore commandsThese commands change the settings stored in Flash (permanent memory) and do not affect the current or working settings in memory. A power cycle is needed before the stored settings become current.Table 6—Store Command OptionsCommand Syntax Descriptionstore ifc from default Set all network settings back to factory defaults.store ifc from current Store all current network settings to Flash so they are retained after a power cycle. This ensures all current settings match what is stored in Flash.store ifc mode [auto|10half|10full|100half|100full]Set the line speed for the UTP Ethernet interface.store net addr IPaddress Store a static IP address for the Q53.For example:store net addr 192.168.11.9store net dns domainName Store the IP address of the Domain Name Server (DNS) for the Q53.For example:store net dns 192.168.1.254store net domain domainName Store the domain name suffix for the Q53.For example:store net domain microplex.comstore net from default Set all TCP/IP network settings back to factory defaults. store net from current Store all current TCP/IP network settings to Flash so they are retained after a power cycle. This ensures all current settings match what’s stored in Flash.store net gateway routerIPaddress Store a default router/gateway defined by routerIPaddress so the Q53 knows where to direct packets destined for another subnet.For example:store net gateway 192.168.11.1 1](https://usermanual.wiki/Exegin-Technologies/Q53/User-Guide-1169618-Page-61.png)
![64 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 2009viii. Reference InformationComplete Command ReferenceMiscellaneous commandsThese commands do not fall under any specific section of the command line interface shell but they are used quite frequently. store net mask netmask Store the subnet mask for the Q53.For example:store tcpip 1 mask 255.255.255.0store net opts[[-]dhcp] Enable or disable the automatic DHCP requests for IP addresses upon bootup. Prefix the ‘DHCP’ option with a dash (‘-’) to disable the option; otherwise it is enabled.For example:store tcpip 1 opts -dhcpstore net rxbuf packets Determine the receive window size for the Q53. Usually the packets value ranges from 2-8 with the lower number allowing for more simultaneous TCP connections with the Zigbee gateway bridge device.For example:store net rxbuf 2store zbnwk opts [-]edscan Enable/disable power-up energy scan on the Zigbee radios.store zbmac freqband [[-]868] [[-]915] [[-]2400] Sets the freqency band for each Zigbee radio.store zipt port portnumber Sets the UDP port number to be used for bridging Zigbee traffic over the IP network. The default port number is 17755.Table 7—Miscellaneous CommandsCommand Syntax Descriptionclose <sd>|all Close the network connection defined by the socket descriptor. Socket descriptors can be obtained using the netstat command.If the argument all is entered, then all active network connections will be terminated, including the telnet session in which the command was entered.Table 6—Store Command OptionsCommand Syntax Description](https://usermanual.wiki/Exegin-Technologies/Q53/User-Guide-1169618-Page-62.png)
![65 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 2009viii. Reference InformationComplete Command Referenceload [default] Load the settings stored in Flash and use them as the current or working settings. If default is specified as well, factory settings will be loaded. Use this after power failure to restore settings saved in Flash.netstat Display current network status, including TCP packet statistics and the current state of each TCP and UDP socket in the system.ping [-s] hostIPaddress [datasize [packetnumber]] "ping" another TCP/IP host, specified by hostIPaddress, on the network. datasize is the datagram packet size which defaults to 64 bytes if no size is included in the syntax and packetnumber is the number of requests to be sent.To use a host or IP name instead of the address, you must have set the DNS server on the Q53. Use the command "set sysinfo dns..." to do this.For example:ping 192.168.11.30quit Close the telnet command session.restart Perform a warm boot or hardware reset simulating a power-on reset. This will restore current settings to those stored in Flash as the Flash settings will be read and loaded into memory upon bootup.save [default] Save the current settings to Flash so they are remembered after power cycles. Sysinfo, snmp, user, and sntp settings will be saved. If default is specified as well, factory settings will be saved to Flash overwriting any new settings you have configured. Resetting the unit is not required.Table 7—Miscellaneous CommandsCommand Syntax Description](https://usermanual.wiki/Exegin-Technologies/Q53/User-Guide-1169618-Page-63.png)
![66 Q53 Installation and Configuration Guide © Exegin Technologies Limited, 2009viii. Reference InformationQ53 Naming SchemeQ53 Naming SchemeThe Q53 always follows this naming scheme: exgnxxxxx A default name of ‘exgn’ is followed by "xxxxx", the serial number found on the bottom of the Zigbee gateway bridge device. For example: exgn00091 User Accounts and PermissionsWhen you log into the Q53, you either log in as a guest or as a root user. The commands you will be able to utilize on the print server depend on which login name you use. By default, there is one root user and one guest user; users can then be added to this with either permission level.Users with root permission can execute all commands: users with guest permission can not do any configuration and can only execute commands that display settings on the Q53. However, they can use ping and telnet as well.Use list [default|stored] user on page 61 to look at current user definitions. Use set user passwd username password on page 62 to see how the root user can change these settings.Resetting to Factory DefaultsSometimes it is beneficial to return the Q53 to its factory default state. For example, if you are having problems communicating with the Zigbee gateway bridge device over the network, you may want to put it back to a default state and reconfigure the network settings. To reset to factory defaults:1. Move dipswitch 1 to the "off" position and dipswitch 2 to the "on" position as described in Table 2, Q53 Dipswitch Settings, on page 16. This is the Factory Settings mode2. Restart the unit by cycling the power off, then on. You now have the Q53 booted into a default state, meaning its current/working settings are those stored at the factory. All settings configured and stored in Flash are ignored while the dipswitches are in the "Factory Settings" position.At this point, you can use shell commands on the Q53 to configure certain settings. Here are some common examples of steps taken when the device is in a default state:](https://usermanual.wiki/Exegin-Technologies/Q53/User-Guide-1169618-Page-64.png)
