AMX NI-2000, NI-3000, NI-4000 Program Port Commands, PC COM Port Communication Settings

Programming

For example:

STRUCTURE DEV

{

INTEGER Number // Device number

INTEGER Port // Port on device

INTEGER System // System the device belongs to

}

The D:P:S notation is used to explicitly represent a device number, port and system. For example, 128:1:0 represents the first port on device 128 on this system. If the system and Port specifications are omitted, (e.g. 128), system 0 (indicating this system) and port 1 (the first port) is assumed.

Here's the syntax:

NUMBER:PORT:SYSTEM

where:

NUMBER:	16-bit integer represents the device number
PORT:	16-bit integer represents the port number (in the range 1 through the number of
	ports on the Controller or device)
SYSTEM:	16-bit integer represents the system number (0 = this system)

Program Port Commands

The Program port commands listed in the following table can be sent directly to the Master Card using a terminal program (i.e. Telnet). Be sure that your PC's COM port and terminal program's communication settings match those in the table below:

PC COM Port Communication Settings

Baud	38400 (default)
Parity	None
Data Bits	8
Stop Bits	1
Flow Control	None

In your terminal program, type "Help" or a question mark ("?") and <Enter> to display the Program port commands listed in the following table.

Program Port Commands

Command	Description
DATE	Displays the current date and day of the week.
DEVICE STATUS <D:P:S>	Displays a list of all active (on) channels for the specified D:P:S. Enter
	DEVICE STATUS without the D:P:S variable, the Master Card displays
	ports, channels, and version information.
DNS LIST <D:P:S>	Displays:
	• Domain suffix
	• Configured DNS IP Information
DOC FREE	Displays the total bytes of free space available on the Master Card's Disk
	on Chip.
ECHO OFF	Disables terminal character's echo (display) function.
ECHO ON	Enables terminal character's echo (display) function.
