SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN[:SELF]:ADDRess[:IP4]

Function

GSM TA

Sets/queries the test set's LAN IP address. The value of A is used to determine the subnet mask, see SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN[:SELF]:SMASk[:IP4] .

If the LAN address is changed the subnet mask should be checked to insure that it is set to the proper class for that LAN address.

If the LAN IP address is changed the subnet mask should be checked to insure that it is set to the proper class for that LAN address. (See Configuring the Test Set's LAN )The LAN IP address cannot be changed when CALL:OPERating:MODE is set to CALL.

SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN[:SELF]:DGATeway:IP6:IID

Function

Sets/queries the test set's IPv6 Default Router Interface ID. See IPv6 Default Router Interface ID, Upper/Lower (Hex) for details.

Setting

Range: 19 characters formatted as: AAAA:BBBB:CCCC:DDDD where A, B, C and D are all hex numbers.

  • "" (Null) or
  • 0000:0000:0000:0001 to FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF

Double-colon "::" can be used in the IPv6 Default Router Interface ID as valid. Moreover, "::" can be prefixed at the beginning of the 19 characters which is also a valid IPv6 Default Router Interface ID. For example: 8960::1, ::1:2 and 8960:8960:146.208.232:220 are all valid IPv6 Default Router Interface IDs for the GPIB parameter setting.

The IPv6 Default Router Interface parameter is also IPv4 address-compatible with the format: ::W.X.Y.Z, where W.X.Y.Z is the dotted decimal representation of an IPv4 address. For example, ::8960:8960:146.208.232:220 and 8960:8960:146.208.232:220 are all valid IPv6 Default Router Interface IDs for the GPIB parameter setting.

SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN[:SELF]:SMASk[:IP4]

Function

GSM TA

Sets/queries the subnet mask of the test set based on the LAN IP address selected. The subnet mask changes according to the value of A used for the LAN IP address.

If A is less than 127, the default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.

If A is greater than 127 and less or equal to 191, the default subnet mask is 222.255.0.0.

If A is greater than 191, the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

If the LAN address is changed the subnet mask should be checked to insure that it is set to the proper class for that LAN address.
