Before you can begin using the Ethernet port, you must provision the addresses 
using the local Craft or Remote serial port.
If you are not planning to use the Ethernet port, you do not have to provision the 
parameters in this section.
Setting the IP Addresses
Use the ED-EQPT command to provision the following IP addresses for the 
TimeProvider:
IP Gateway address
IP address
IP subnet Mask
ED-EQPT:[<tid>]:<aid>:[<ctag>]::<keyword>=<value>;
This command has a default access level of ADMIN.
Sample Command
ED-EQPT::COMI:TS1000::IPGATE=127.0.0.1;
This command sets the IP Gate address to 127.0.0.1. Use an appropriate gateway 
address for your network, and record the address in
