Telnet Serial Command API
The Vaddio Telnet command API allows an external device such as an AMX or Crestron presentation
system to control the device. It is also used for device macros.
Note
When you connect via Telnet, you must log in using the admin
account.
The command format follows a get/set structure. Here are some
examples:
Command
camera 3 pan right
Response
OK
>
Command
camera 3 focus mode auto
Response
OK
>
Command
camera 3 ccu get iris
Response
iris
6
OK
>
Use a question mark as a command parameter to bring up a list of commands, subcommands, or
command parameters. For example:
> camera focus ?
near
Focus the camera near
far
Focus the camera far
stop
Stop the camera focus
mode
Camera focus mode
Things you might need to know about control via Telnet session:
n
Command lines are terminated with a carriage return.
n
All ASCII characters (including carriage returns) are echoed to the terminal program and appended with
the VT100 string
ESC[J
(hex 1B 5B 4A), which most terminal programs automatically strip.
n
CTRL-5
clears the current serial buffer on the device.
Typographical conventions:
n
n { x | y | z} – Choose x, y, or z.
n
n <variable> – The named variable (such as <ip address>) is required.
n
n < x..y > – A value in the range of x through y is required.
