Direct Communication
The networking configuration for an OPTICA VGA model can be done
using the front panel. The networking configuration for a 4x40 with
Ethernet capability can be configured using the RS-232 port and the
following commands:
Note: <> means carriage return.
$SetIPAddress <IPADDRESS><>
(i.e 127 0 0 0)\r\n
Example:
$SetIpAddress 127 0 0 0 0 <>
$SetSubnetMask <SubNetMask>
(i.e 255 255 255 0)\r\n
Example:
$SetSubnetMask 255 255 255 0 <>
$SetDefaultGateway <Gateway>
(i.e 0 0 0 0)\r\n
$SetHostName <HostName><>
(i.e Optica)\r\n
$SetIPSource <STATIC><>
(STATIC IP)\r\n
$SetIPSource <DHCP><>
(DHCP IP)\r\n
$GetNetworkSettings<>
Displays the network settings\r\n
$SaveNetworkSettings<>
(Write Network settings to the registry)\r\n
$DeleteNetworkSettings<>
(Deletes registry entries - removes .FDF & .CRC File)\r\n
$SaveAllSettings<>
(Write all settings to non-volatile memory)\r\n

Communication
The Optica communicates over port 28005. The general format for
accessing the Optica is:
<IP address>:28005/Command
The command set of the Optica is broken into two categories: Those
used to
set parameters and those used to retrieve parameters from the
Optica. Commands that are used to retrieve information from the
Optica are preceded with the prefix
Get
, and those that are used to set
parameters at the Optica are preceded with the prefix
Set
. Only the
commands that enable the user to retrieve information from the
Optica are detailed in this document. The examples below assume
that a web browser is being used.
