ETHERNET EXTENDERS—CONFIGURATION GUIDE
62
Command Code
The command codes are described below.
waitcase pattern
Waits until the specified case-sensitive pattern is received from the remote host.
Then, forwards the next command. The maximum pattern length is 24 characters.
Or, waits until timeout (default = 15 seconds). The link then disconnects and the
Ethernet Extender performs the same actions as required during authentication
failure.
waitnocase pattern
As above, with no case sensitivity.
send pattern
Transmits specified pattern to remote host. The pattern can contain any recognized
control symbols. The maximum pattern length is 24 characters.
sendhide pattern
As above. However, the pattern is displayed on the screen as asterisks. The
control symbol is displayed as two asterisks when editing and as one when viewing.
timeout number
Changes the timeout for waitcase, waitnocase, and getip commands. The number is
the timeout value, in seconds. This value can be any number from 1 to 99 and will be
used until the next timeout command.
delay number
The delay in seconds between sending commands. All symbols received during this
time will be ignored. This value can be any number from 1 to 99.
getip number
This command waits for an IP address from the remote host. If the ISP returns
several IP addresses in a string, the number specified by this command will
determine which IP address should be used.
If an IP address is received successfully from the host, and the Single IP feature is
enabled, the IP address will be used on the Ethernet Extender WAN interface. If an IP
address is not received successfully within the specified timeout period, the link
disconnects.
Argument
The argument is any string without apostrophes, quotation marks, or unsigned integers (depending on the
command). In addition to ASCII symbols, the argument string can include any control characters with ASCII
codes from 1 to 31. While editing scripting commands, these symbols are entered in the “control” mode: Each
symbol is entered as “^,” followed by the corresponding ASCII character from “A” to “[.” The letters must be in
upper case.
