▪
Auto reconnect:
Numeric value; sets the time (seconds) between the automatic reconnections.

Delimiter:
When the delimiter hex string is detected in the incoming data, the message is saved from
the first bit until the delimiter (or the data between the two delimiters).
▪
Timeout:
If there is no response within the set time interval (milliseconds), the data will be accepted,
that is received from the last delimiter.
▪

SalvoHttp Status Page (Receiving HTTP Message)
DIFFERENCE:
This feature is available only in UMX-TPS-TX140K and TX140-Plus models from FW
package v1.5.0b4.
ATTENTION!
This feature means sending
HTTP
messages from an external device to the Lightware device.
Encrypted transmission (
HTTPS
) is not supported.
In this case, a batch of commands can be sent over HTTP to the Lightware device for processing. Post the
commands to the <IP_address>/protocol.lw3 address and the commands are processed immediately and
sequentially.
#http
Control commands can be sent to the Lightware device, but it is not suitable for querying a parameter/status
since the LW3 responses are not sent back to the sender.
ATTENTION!
If the
Cleartext Login (Login Settings)
is enabled in the device, the login has to be the first
command. No commands will be processed without a successful login. See the syntax in the
section.
