	master you are connected to can reach. You can specify the device num-
	ber, port, and system, or the name of the device defined in the
	DEFINE_DEVICE section of the program.
ON	Turns on a channel on a device. The device can be on any system the

	ber, port, and system, or the name of the device that is defined in the
	DEFINE_DEVICE section of the program.
PASS	Sets up a pass through mode to a device. In pass through mode, any
	string received by the device is displayed on the screen; anything typed is
	sent as a string to the device. The device can be on any system 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 program.
PING	Tests network connectivity to and confirms the presence of another net-
	worked device. It operates just like the PING application in Windows or
	Linux.
PROGRAM INFO	Displays the NetLinx program's name residing in the Master Card.
PULSE	Pulses a channel on a device on and off. The device can be on any system
	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 program.
REBOOT <D:P:S>	Reboots the Master Card or specified device.
RELEASE DHCP	Releases the DHCP setting for the Master Card.
SEND_COMMAND	Sends a command to a device. The device can be on any system the mas-
	ter 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.
SEND_STRING	Sends a string to a device. The device can be on any system the master
	you are connected to can reach. You can specify the device number, port,

	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 Card.
	When the date is set on the Master Card, 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).
SET DNS <D:P:S>	Prompts you to enter a Domain Name, DNS IP #1, DNS IP #2, and DNS IP
	#3. Then, you enter Y (yes) to approve/store the information in the Master
	Card. Entering N (no) cancels the operation.
SET IP <D:P:S>	Prompts you to enter a Host Name, Type (DHCP or Fixed), IP address,
	Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP address.
	Enter Y (yes) to approve/store the information in the Master Card.
	Entering N (no) cancels the operation.
