Set IP address

To set the IP address of the netIC you can use the netIdent protocol. The netIdent protocol was developed by Hilscher for easy configuration of Hilscher devices with Ethernet interfaces.

...

PC UDP port: 25384

netIC UDP port: 25383

UDP Frame

Data (118 bytes)

IP address to be assigned to the netIC (C0 a8 01 0b = 192 168 1 11)

There are several possibilities to send TCP/UDP packets. On the next page there are two command line examples for netcat and packetsender.

netcat

To send and receive udp packets you can use as example netcat.

For Linux and WSL:

echo -n -e "\x48\x49\x4e\x49\x00\x00\x03\xe8\x00\x00\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x20\x7e\x00\x00\x00\x00\xc0\

...

-s IP address of the NIC, only necessary if you have multiple NICs

-p bind to UDP port

For Windows https://nmap.org/ncat

echo <hex to ascii> | ncat -u -w 1 -v -s 192.168.1.10 -p 25384 255.255.255.255 25383

packetsender

To send and receive udp packets you can use as example packetsender.
Packetsender can be used for Linux, Mac and Windows. https://packetsender.com/

...

-u for UDP
-x for hex data
-w 1000 for close connection after 1second
-b bind to UDP port
The example command works only with one NIC

FTP Script

Prerequisits are:
→ Connection to the device via Ethernet port
→ FTP server active
→ IP address set in the netIC

Install WinSCP

In this example WinSCP is used as FTP client.
Download and information at https://winscp.net/
After the installation the WinSCP installation path must be added to the Windows environment variable PATH.
e.g.

Create configuration data

Unfortunately, there is no possibility to create the configuration data directly.
The easiest way to create them is to configure the netIC with the netX Configuration Tool.
Once the netIC is configured, the required data can be downloaded via FTP (Filezilla or similar).

FTP files

*.nxf is the firmware file
*.nxd are the configuration files
In the path
/SYSVOLUME/Port_1/sx/pub
are the web server files stored.

FTP Script

The example script "script_netIC.txt" consists of two commands
