RESETADMINPASSWORD This command resets the administrator password back to "password".

ROUTE MODE DIRECT|NORMAL Sets the Master-to-Master route mode:
• Normal mode - allows a Master to communicate with any Master
accessible via the routing tables (shown with the SHOW ROUTE
command).
This includes a directly-connected Master (route metric =1) and
indirectly connected Masters (route metric greater than 1, but less
than 16).
• Direct mode - allows communication only with Masters that are
directly connected (route metric = 1). Indirectly connected Masters
cannot be communicated within this mode.
Examples:
>ROUTE MODE DIRECT
Route Mode "Direct" Set
>ROUTE MODE NORMAL
Route Mode "Normal" Set
SEND_COMMAND D:P:S or
NAME,COMMAND
Sends a specified command to a device. The device can be on any
system that the Master you are connected to can reach.
You can specify the device number, port, and system; or the name of
the device that is defined in the DEFINE_DEVICE section of the
NetLinx Program.
The data of the string is entered with the following NetLinx string syn-
tax:
SEND_COMMAND 1:1:1,"'This is a test',13,10"
SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,"'This is a test',13,10"
SEND_STRING D:P:S or
NAME,STRING
Sends a string to a specified device. The device can be on any system
that the Master you are connected to can reach.
You can specify the device number, port, and system; or the name of
the device defined in the DEFINE_DEVICE section of the NetLinx Pro-
gram. The data of the string is entered with NetLinx string syntax.
SET DATE Prompts you to enter the new date for the Master.
When the date is set on the Master, the new date will be reflected on
all devices in the system that have clocks (i.e. touch panels). By the
same token, if you set the date on any system device, the new date
will be reflected on the system’s Master, and on all connected devices.
Note: This command will not update clocks on devices connected to
another Master (in Master-to-Master systems).
Example:
>SET DATE
Enter Date: (mm/dd//yyyy) ->
