in March, ends on the last Sunday in
October. DST should be turned off for
Iceland.
X3% = Event number: 0 - 99
This is valid only while events are
running.
X3^ = Event buffer:
0 = receive
1 = user (absolute, unified)
2 = user (relative, data)
3 = NVRAM
X3& = Event buffer offset: 0 - [max. buffer size]
X3* = Event data buffer size (only the first letter is
needed):
b = bit
B = byte (8 bits)
S = short (16 bits)
L = long (32 bits)
N This parameter is case sensitive.
X3( = Event data to write
X4! = Password to display on screen (response to
password query or set). When the unit
connects to a host device via RS-232, the
password (X3#), itself, is the response.
When the connection is via IP, X4! is
4 asterisks (****) if a password has been
assigned, or it is an empty field ( ) if a
password hasn’t been assigned.
X4@ = Contact input state
0 = off (open)
1 = on (closed, shorted)
X4$ = Number of bytes to read (1 - 27)
X4% = E-mail event number or mailbox (1 - 64). The
response includes leading zeros.
X4^ = E-mail recipient’s address
(e.g., JDoe@extron.com) for the person to
whom messages will be sent. The e-mail
address has a 31 character maximum.
X4& = Name (for CR commands) or numeral (1 - 999,
for SM commands) of the e-mail file to be
sent
N E-mail files must have a file extension of .eml.
The first line of the file is the subject, the rest is
the body of the e-mail.
X4( = Default name: a combination of the model
name and the last 3 pairs of the unit’s
MAC address (e.g., IPL-250-03-69-B0)
X5) = Redirection status:
0 = no redirection
1 - 3 = redirect serial port communication
from the specified port (1 = COM1, 2 =
COM2, or 3 = COM3) to allow a serial
pass-through mode (See “Serial pass-
through (redirect mode)” in chapter 3.)
X5@ = Connection’s security level:
0 = not logged in
11 = user
12 = administrator
The response includes leading zeros.
X5# = Timeout period in tens of milliseconds for
serial data pass-through mode, after
which event data can be inserted into
the transmit buffer and the serial port is
released to another source
(Default = 10 = 100 ms, range = 1 - 32767.)
leading zeros.
X2@ = Verbose/response mode status:
0 = clear, default for Telnet connections
1 = verbose mode is on
2 = send tagged responses for queries
3 = verbose mode is on and tagged
responses are sent for queries
N If tagged responses are enabled, all read
commands return the constant string + the data
or value, the same as in responses for setting
a value. For example, for E CN }, the
response is Ipn•
X1@ ] rather than just the
data (X1@ ]).
X2# = Priority status for receiving timeouts:
0 = use send data string command
parameters (0 = default)
1 = use configure receive timeout command
parameters
X2% = Baud rate: 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 3600,
4800, 7200, 9600 (default), 14400, 19200,
28800, 38400, 57600, or 115200
X2^ = Parity (only the first letter is needed):
O = odd
E = even
N = none (default)
M = mark
S = space
X2& = Data bits: 7, 8 (default = 8)
X2* = Stop bits: 1, 2 (default = 1)
X2( = Serial port type:
0 = RS-232 (the only serial protocol
supported by the IPL 250)
X3) = Flow control (only the first letter is needed):
H = hardware
S = software
N = none
X3! = Data pacing (time between bytes) in
miliseconds (0000 - 1000). 0000 (0 ms) is
the default.
X3# = Password (minimum length = 4 characters,
maximum length = 12 characters)
No special characters are allowed: use
alphanumeric characters. Passwords are
case sensitive.
N A user password cannot be assigned if no
administrator password exists; the E14 error
code will be returned. If the administrator
password is cleared, then the user password is
also removed.
X3$ = Daylight saving time (DST) is a region-
specific 1-hour offset that begins in spring
and ends in fall.
0 = off/ignore
1 = USA on – Starting in 2007, DST begins
on the second Sunday of March at 2 AM
and ends at 2 AM on the first Sunday
of November. For example, time in
California is GMT -8:00 from March to
November and GMT -7:00 from November
to March. However, DST should be
turned off in Hawaii, American Samoa,
Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands,
the eastern time zone portion of the
state of Indiana, and the state of Arizona
(excluding the Navajo Nation).
2 = Europe on – begins on the last Sunday
