A/V Device Power Control

Power control of A/V devices may be accomplished once the PCS4 interface has been connected and configured. These include web pages and Telnet.

Custom Web Pages

These pages can either be modified versions of the existing web pages, or new web pages developed in the field.

Web page development can be done with a web site development tool such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver. Custom web pages can be loaded using the embedded File Management web page (see “File Management,” earlier in this section).

Accessing and Using Telnet (Port 23)

Telnet, short for Telecommunications Network, provides a way for you to connect to a computer or server (in this case, the PCS4 interface) on a network. Once connected via Telnet, you can send ASCII serial commands (see the “Command and Response Table for SIS Commands” in the “SIS Programming and Control” section) to configure and monitor the PCS4 settings.

1.Click Start, then Run, then enter Telnet, and click OK. The Telnet program starts (see figure 32, below).
