Table 25 E-GPIO TCP Monitor Commands

The E-GPIO TCP monitor allows a computer system to access the SX-560 GPIO pin values. If enabled, this monitor will attempt to make a TCP connection to the remote computer specified. Once connected, the monitor will periodically send the state of the GPIO pins to the remote computer. This monitor is configured via the console with the following commands:

Command	Description
SET GPIO MON [EN DIS]	Enables or disables the E-GPIO monitor
SHOW GPIO MON	Shows the current state of the GPIO monitor.
SET GPIO ADDR <ip address>	Sets the IP address of the remote computer for
	E-GIO connection
SET GPIO PORT	Sets the TCP port on the remote computer for E-
	GPIO connection.
SET GPIO POLL <period>	Sets E-GPIO poll period. When not connected,
	this controls how often the E-GPIO monitor
	attempts to make a connection to the remote
	computer. When connected, this indicates how
	often the E-GPIO monitor will send the GPIO
	state to the remote computer.
	<period> is the time interval in milliseconds.
	Note that this interval will be rounded to the
	system clock resolution (10msec). A value less
	than a single clock period will result in the default
	value of 5000 (5 seconds) being used.
GPIO status message format	The periodic message sent by the E-GPIO
	monitor is a simple text string in the following
	format:
	GPIO=00ab<LF>
	Where ab are 2 hex digits representing the state
	of the GPIO pins. Since there are only 8 GPIO
	pins on the SX-560, the first two digits are always
	0. The message is sent every n milliseconds,
	where n is the poll period set by the SET GPIO
	POLL command.
