Set Date
Minimum abbreviation: set date mm/dd/yyyy
Updates the date setting for the checkback
module's clock. You must enter all four digits for
the year, e.g., 2005, or the command is rejected.
Unlike most settings, you can change the date no
matter which setting the DIP switch is on.
Examples:
set date 1/2/2000–Sets the local module's date
to January 2, 2000.
set date 1/2/2000 > 1–Sets remote #1's date to
January 2, 2000.
Set All
Minimum abbreviation: set all > n
Set all allows you to update all of a distant
module's settings at once with the local module's
settings. Thus, it should always be directed to
some other node (e.g., set all > 2). All settings
except address, password, time, and date are set
identical to the module making this command.
For example, if you're at remote #1 and you enter
set all > 0, the master changes all its settings, like
number of retries, and primary communication
mode, to match remote #1's, but it remains a
master because the address is not changed.
As with most setting commands, you can only
execute this one if the DIP switch is set to
"CUSTOM".
Examples:
set all > 1–Sets remote #1 to match the local
module's settings.
set all > 0–Sets the master to match the local
module's settings.
16.5.5.2 Get Commands
Get commands read a checkback module's current
settings, events, status, or counts.
Get Settings
Minimum abbreviation: get set
Displays a checkback module's current settings.
This includes its address, primary and fallback
communication modes, alarm output control, and
various times.
Examples:
get set–Gets and displays the local module's
settings.
get set > 1–Gets and displays remote #1
settings.
Get Events
Minimum abbreviation: get eve {nn {-mm}}
Displays a module's stored events. Up to 250
events are stored in a Universal Checkback
Module. You can call this command with a range
of events (e.g., 10-45), a single event (e.g., 2), or
you can supply no events. If you supply no events,
the module displays the next event each time you
request distant events or the next 10 events each
time you request local events. When you enter a
command to a distant module other than get
events, the event display counter is reset to event
1 for that module.
Examples:
get event 100-107–Gets and displays local
events 100 through 107.
get event 6–Gets and displays local event 6.
get event–Gets and displays the next 10 local
events.
get eve 4 > 1–Get and displays remote #1's
event 4.
get eve 1-10 > 1–Gets and displays remote
#1's events 1 through 10.
get eve >1–Gets and displays remote #1's next
event.
