Administering the 5518 through its Serial Port or
Ethernet
Connecting to the 5518’s Ethernet Port or Serial Port via a Ter-
minal Program on a PC
You can connect a terminal emulation application to the 5518’s Ethernet or Serial
ports via TCP/IP, port 23 (which is the standard Telnet port and the 5518 factory de-
fault). When connected like this, you can:

recall presets (step 1 on page 2-37)

turn the diversity delay on and off for a specified output (step 2 on page 2-38)

trim the diversity delay (step 3 on page 2-38)

Select the analog or digital input as the audio source (step 4 on page 2-39)

Fetch real-time operational status information from the Optimod (step 5 on page
2-39)

Fetch information about the active processing preset (step 6 on page 2-40)

Fetch diagnostic information from the 5518 (step 7 on page 2-40)
This interface can be used to allow custom third-party applications (including auto-
mation systems) to recall presets, view status and set the controls listed above. How-
ever, you cannot restore defaults, set security passcodes and change networking
controls via Ethernet or the serial port. You can set those controls by using 5518 PC
Remote software. (See
Installing 5518 PC Remote Control Software on page 2-47.)
