X3$ = Daylight saving time (DST) is a 1-hour offset (for the USA only) that begins on the first Sunday of April at 2 am and ends on the last Sunday of October. For example, time in California is GMT -8:00 from April to October and GMT -7:00 from November to March. 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). 0 = off/ignore; 1 = on

X3% = Event number: range = 0–99 (max.)

X3^ = Event buffer: 0 = receive; 1 = user (absolute); 2 = user (relative); 3 = NVRAM

X3& = Memory location: range = 0–max. BufferSize

X3* = Event data size: b = bit; B = byte (8 bit); S = short (16 bit); L = long (32 bit)

NThis parameter is case sensitive.

X3( = Event data to write

X4! = Reading password: responds as empty if no password is set, and 4 asterisks (****) if password exists.

X4$ = Number of bytes to read: range = 1–127 (max.)

X4% = E-mail event number: range = 1–48 (max.) X4^ = E-mail recipient address

X4& = Name of e-mail file to be sent.

NE-mail files must have the file extension .eml.

X4( = Default name: a combination of the model-name and the last 3 pairs of the MAC address (e.g., IPL-T-S2-00-02-3D)

X5) = Redirect: 0 = no redirect; 1–n = redirect serial port from the specified port to allow for a

transparent pass-through mode

X5@ = Connection’s security level: 0 = not logged in; 1 = user; 2 = administrator

X5# = Timeout for data pass-through mode, after which event data can be inserted into the transmit buffer.

X5$ = ASCII digit(s) representing numeric value of data element read from event buffer. (Leading

zeros are suppressed.)

X6$ = Time in seconds to keep sending the broadcast message (0–255, default = 10)

X6( = The number of seconds before timeout on IP connections: (min. = 1; max. = 65000;

default= 30 = 300 seconds). If no data is received during the timeout period, the Ethernet connection is closed. Each step = 10 seconds. When connected via RS-232, only the global timeout commands apply. Current returns E13. The response is returned with leading zeros.

NX6( is applicable to Ethernet only.

X7) = Number (as optional parameter) inserted into an e-mail message if the .eml file has an embedded ESC CR command with no parameters.

X7! = Hardware (MAC) address: the four most significant hex nibbles converted into a single 16-bit

decimal number.

X7@ = Hardware (MAC) address: the eight least significant hex nibbles converted into single 32-bit

decimal number.

NThis could be as large as 10 digits.
