Metreau Keypads Instruction Manual
Supported SEND_COMMANDs
The AxLink-enabled Metreau keypads (MET-6N, MET-7 and MET-13) and Metreau keypads with Ethernet (MET-6NE, MET-7E, and
MET-13E) support a number of NetLinx SEND_COMMANDs, described in the following section. To use these commands, establish a
Telnet session from the PC to the NetLinx master (see the
Establishing a Terminal Connection via Telnet
section on page 49 for more
information.)

All text is based on a Unicode index.
SEND_COMMANDs
Command
Description
@BRT
Set Brightness level for all LEDs (pushbuttons and levels indicator bar) for both On and Off states.
Syntax:
@BRT-<on brightness (0-32)>,<off brightness (0-32)>
Variables:
on brightness = LED On brightness; ranges from 0 (off) to 32 (max).
off brightness = LED Off level brightness; ranges from 0 (off) to 32 (max).
Example:
SEND_COMMAND keypad,'@BRT-32,0'
Sets the LEDs to max brightness in the On state (32), and minimum brightness (no illumination) in the Off
state (0).
@WBRT
Set Brightness level for Navigation Wheel LED, for both On and Off states.
NOTE:
This command is only valid on the MET-6N keypad.
Syntax:
‘@WBRT-<on brightness (0-32)>,<off brightness (0-32)>’
Variables:
on brightness = Scroll Wheel LED on brightness; ranges from 0 (off) to 32
off brightness = Scroll Wheel LED off brightness; ranges from 0 (off) to 32
Example:
SEND_COMMAND keypad,'@WBRT-32,0'
Sets the Navigation Wheel LED to max brightness in the On state (32), and minimum brightness (no
illumination) in the Off state (0).
BMODE
Sets the bargraph mode.
NOTE:
This command is only valid on the MET-6E and MET-6NE keypads.
Syntax:
'BMODE-<bargraph mode 0-9>'
Sets the specified bargraph to operate in one of the following modes:
0 = (default) normal bar mode
1 = normal dot mode (only one peak LED on at a time)
2 = special bar mode (a level of 1-32 still has first LED on)
3 = special dot mode (a level of 1-32 still has first LED on)
4 = inverse normal bar mode
5 = inverse normal dot mode
6 = inverse special bar mode
7 = inverse special dot mode
8 = individual element, discrete mode
9 = inverse individual element, discrete mode
Example:
SEND_COMMAND keypad,'BMODE-0'
