Overview

This section describes the Send_Commands, Send_Strings, and Channel commands you can use to

program the Integrated Controller. The examples in this section require a declaration in the

DEFINE_DEVICE section of your program to work correctly. Refer to the NetLinx Programming

Language instruction manual for specifics about declarations and DEFINE_DEVICE information.

Master Send_Commands

These commands are specific to the Master and not the Controller. These commands are sent to the DPS

0:1:0 (the Master you are connected to).

A device (<DEV>) must first be defined in the NetLinx programming language with values for the

Device: Port: System (<D:P:S>).

Master Send_Commands
Command Description
CLOCK
Set the date and time on the
Master.
The date and time settings are propagated over the local bus.

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CLOCK <mm-dd-yyyy> <hh:mm:ss>'"
Variables:
mm-dd-yyyy = Month, day, and year. Month and day have 2 significant digits.
Year has 4 significant digits.
hh-mm-ss = Hour, minute, and seconds. Each using only 2 significant digits.

G4WC
Add G4WebControl devices
to Web control list displayed
by the Web server in a
browser.
The internal G4WC Send command (to Master 0:1:0) has been revised to add
G4WebControl devices to Web control list displayed in the browser.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <D:P:S>,"'G4WC "Name/Description",IP
Address/URL,IP Port,Enabled'"
Variables:
• Name/Description = A string, enclosed in double quotes, that is the
description of the G4 Web Control instance. It is displayed in the browser.
• IP Address/URL = A string containing the IP Address of the G4 Web Control
server, or a URL to the G4 Web Control server.
• IP Port = A string containing the IP Port of the G4 Web Control Server.
• Enabled = 1 or 0. If it is a 1 then the link is displayed. If it is a 0 then the link is
disabled.
The combination of Name/Description, IP Address/URL, and IP Port are used
to determine each unique listing.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND 0:1:0,"'G4WC "Bedroom",192.168.1.2,5900,1'"
Adds the BEDROOM control device using the IP Address of 192.168.1.2.
