Technical Guide: RDMS Telnet and Serial Control

Quasonix, Inc.
1 Access via Telnet
Telnet provides access to the individual receiver channel’s underlying serial control interface. The serial control
interface is not recommended for typical RDMS usage. The Telnet interface should only be accessed by advanced
users. Contact Quasonix customer support before using these options.
Note: Access to this serial control interface is provided primarily for debugging purposes. Unlike the
standard browser interface, the serial control interface within the Telnet screen is not safeguarded from
accidenta
l or improper changes to the receiver’s configuration.
It is strongly recommended that users contact Quasonix Technical Support (Tel: 513-942-1287) prior to using
the Terminal serial control interface.

The command prompt for the mode in the subscribed channel displays immediately, as shown in Figure 3. This is a
portal to the receiver’s serial control interface and allows the user to communicate to the individual receiver “brick”
using its basic command protocol.
