Command Reference
This section describes the commands available. For typical command sequences, see
Appendix B
.
When the unit is ready for a command, it issues the default prompt
"RT-PoE4N>"
. The
prompt may be changed via the "hostname" command so that a unit can be identified by its
prompt. Command buffering is not supported; you must wait for the prompt before sending a
command. The default baud rate is 9600. This can be changed via the "baud" command and is
“sticky” across power cycles.
All commands are terminated by a <return> which is the character 0x0D (decimal 13).
Most commands have a short form version. The optional characters of a command are
indicated by the [ ] brackets.
All commands that take "on" or "off" arguments can also take "1" and "0" as arguments.
Responses from the unit that include variable data such as the port number are shown as 'C'
printf style strings, so the script writer knows exactly what to expect as a response.
