How-To: eb-console

Set a static IP

Timing receivers not connected to a bootp server require a static IP for full operation. This is to be set via the eb-console interface

Interactive Version

Open an eb-console link to the timing receiver device, e.g.

eb-console dev/wbm0

If eb-console shows the WR status page, press Esc. In the CLI, type

ip set <YOUR STATIC IP>

replacing with the desired IPv4 of your device, e.g. '192.168.123.234'. Press Ctrl+C to quit.

Scripted Version

Setting a static IP can also be done non-interactive using the following command sequence, which is useful for startup scripts:

echo -n -e '\rip set <YOUR STATIC IP>\r\r' | eb-console dev/wbm0
