Description

 

 

REBOOT <D:P:S>

Reboots the Master or specified device.

 

Example:

 

>REBOOT [0:1:0]

 

Rebooting...

 

 

RELEASE DHCP

Releases the DHCP setting for the Master.

 

Example:

 

>RELEASE DHCP

 

The Master must be rebooted to acquire a new DHCP lease.

 

 

ROUTE MODE DIRECTNORMAL

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

Sends a specified command to a device. The device can be on any sys-

Name,Command

tem 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 NetLinx string syntax. The Command uses the fol-

 

lowing NetLinx string syntax:

 

Example:

 

>Ex: send_command 1:1:1,"'This is a test',13,10"

 

Ex: send_command RS232_1,"'This is a test',13,10"

 

 

SEND_STRING D:P:S or

Sends a string to a device. The device can be on any system the Master

Name,String

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 Program. 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.

 

This will not update clocks on devices connected to another Master (in

 

Master-to-Master systems).

 

Example:

 

>SET DATE

 

Enter Date: (mm/dd//yyyy) ->
