Configuration: Script Management

Configuration: Script Management > Event Triggering

You can create and run scripts to activate certain functions on a VBrick appliance. There are three ways to run scripts on an appliance. (1) You can run scripts for test purposes using the Run Script button in IWS; (2) you can use the IR Remote Control; and (3) you can use an external event trigger (see "Event Triggering" in the VBrick Appliance Getting Started Guide).

The VBrick appliance can be set up to use serial (COM1) Pins 7 and 8, or 0 through 9 on the IR Remote as input events to trigger the VBrick to run scripts. The script files execute certain commands using VBrick SDK parameters to activate certain functions within the VBrick appliance. There are a total of four possible input events (COM1 Pin8 Low, COM1 Pin8 High, COM1 Pin7 Low, COM1 Pin7 High) and ten possible input events using the IR Remote (each has one associated script file).

VBrick SDK parameters are explained in detail in the VBrick SDK User Guide. The VBrick SDK is available for customers who wish to build custom applications to control VBrick appliances. It also explains how to configure and control VBrick appliances via command line scripts. For more information about the VBrick SDK, contact your certified VBrick reseller or VBrick Support Services. To purchase the SDK directly from VBrick, go to: www.vbrick.com/products/purchase.asp.

Note You cannot execute a script either with the IR Remote Control or using an event trigger if IWS is currently running in Edit mode. If you run a script directly from IWS, it automatically exits Edit mode and terminates the active editing session.

Run Scripts Using IWS

You can run scripts using the Run Script button in IWS. This button is only available in Edit mode and is basically used for test purposes. See Sample Script below
