Programming

The NetLinx programming language allows numbers in the range 0-32,767. Device 0 refers to the Master Card; numbers greater than 32,767 are reserved for internal use only.

The NetLinx programming language requires a Device:Port:System (D:P:S) syntax where Axcess expects only a device number. The NetLinx D:P:S triplet variable is expressed as:

DEVICE:PORT:SYSTEM

where:

•Device: 16-bit integer representing the device number (0-32,767). 0 = the local Master.

• Port:	16-bit integer representing the port number (in the range 1 through the number of
	ports on the NetLinx Master or device).
• System:	16-bit integer representing the system number (0 = this system).

Program Port Commands

The Program port commands listed in the Program Port Commands table below can be sent directly to the Master Card using a terminal program (i.e. Telnet). In order for Telnet to be effective, you must initiate a session with the master. Be sure that your PC's COM port and terminal program's communication settings match those in the following table.

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 "?" <Enter> to display the Program port commands
