Symbol definitions
= CR/LF (carriage return/line feed)
= Carriage return (no line feed)
• = Space (hard) character
X1 = Specific port number
The port number will be represented as two ASCII characters (2 bytes) [example: port 05 would be represented as 30 35 in hex] 00 = All ports
X2 = Command data section.
![]()

For Web encoding only - Data will be directed to specified port and must be encoded (URL encoding) if non- alphanumeric. Since data can include either command terminator, they must be encoded as follows when used within the data section: space (hex: 20) would be encoded as %20 and plus sign (hex: 2B) would be encoded as %2B.
X3 = Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) offset value
X5 = On/off status: 0 = off/disable; 1 = on/enable
X6 = Dirty status: 1 = RAM needs to be saved to Flash;
0 = RAM has been saved to Flash (OK to power off/reset)
X11 =Unit firmware version.
X12 =Name is a text string up to 24 characters drawn from the alphabet
X13 =Set local date and time format
Read local date and time format (day of week, date month year HH:MM:SS) e.g., Thu, 18 Nov 2003 18:19:33
X14 =IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx); leading zeros in each of four fields are optional in setting values, and are suppressed in returned values.
X15 = Mail domain name (e.g., extron.com, icia.org).
X17 =Time in tens of milliseconds to wait for characters coming into a serial port before terminating (default=10=100ms, max=32767).
X18 =Hardware (MAC) address
X19 =Subnet mask (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx); leading zeros in each of four fields are optional in setting values, and are suppressed in returned values.
X20 =Time in tens of milliseconds to wait between characters coming into a serial port before terminating (default=2=20ms, max=32767)
X21 =Parameter to set either Length of message to receive or Delimiter value; #=byte count or single ascii character decimal
X23 = Priority status for receive timeout: 0=priority set to Send Data String command parameters, 1=priority set to configure received timeout command parameters
X25 =Baud rate: 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 3600, 4800, 7200, 9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 38400, 57600, 115200
X26 =Parity: Odd, Even, None, Mark, Space (only first letter is needed)
X27 =Data bits: 7, 8
X28 =Stop bits: 1, 2
X29 =Port type:
X30 =Flow control: Hardware, Software, None (only first letter is required)
X31 =Data pacing (specified in milliseconds between bytes): 0000- 1000 (default = 0ms)
X33 = Password: maximum length of 12 characters and no special characters.

User password cannot be assigned if no administrator password exists, and returns E14. If the administrator password is cleared, then the user password is also removed.
X34 =Daylight saving time: 0 = off/ignore; 1 = on (use in northern hemisphere) (USA)
X35 = Event number: range = 0 - 99 (max.)
X36 = Event buffer: 0 = receive; 1 = user (absolute); 2 = user (relative); 3 = NVRAM
X37 = Event buffer offset: range = 0 - MaxBufferSize
