Hardware Reference Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
GET IP
Displays the IP configuration of a device.
The device displays its D:P:S, Host Name, Type (
DHCP
or
Static
), IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway IP, and
MAC Address.
Example:
>GET IP
HostName DXL-RX-36d0110
Type DHCP
IP Address 192.168.43.63
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP 192.168.43.2
MAC Address 00:60:9f:99:26:f1
[[
also displays
“
Lease
”
details; see example for GET CONFIG command
]]
GET LOCATION
Displays the location parameter for NDP, which is set by using the
SET LOCATION
command.
GET SN
Returns the device’s serial number.
LED [ON|OFF]
Enables/Disables LEDs for identification.
MSG [ON|OFF]
Enables/Disables extended diagnostic messages.
• MSG ON [error|warning|info|debug] sets the terminal program to display log messages generated by the
Master. The level of log printed to the terminal window depends both on the level used when sending the
message and the output level selected with “msg on.”
For example if log output is enabled via “msg on warning” then logs produced at levels AMX_ERROR and
AMX_WARNING will be displayed, but not logs produced at levels AMX_INFO or AMX_DEBUG.
The order of severity from highest to lowest is ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG.
If no severity is supplied with “msg on,” the default setting is WARNING.
• MSG OFF disables the display.
Example:
> MSG ON
Extended diagnostic information messages turned on.
> MSG OFF
Extended diagnostic information messages turned off.
NDP UNBIND
Clears the NDP binding to a Master (requires reboot to take effect).
PING [ADDRESS]
Pings an address (IP or URL), to test network connectivity to and confirms the presence of another
networked device.
The syntax matches the PING application in Windows or Linux.
Example:
>ping 192.168.29.209
192.168.29.209 is alive.
REBOOT
Reboots the DXLink Transmitter or Receiver.
Example:
>REBOOT
Rebooting...
RENEW DHCP
Renews / releases the current DHCP lease for the DXLink Transmitter or Receiver.
NOTE:
Because sending this command can result in the unit acquiring a new DHCP address and the
functionality of the endpoints is dependent on the mated IP addresses of the TX (host) and RX (device),
the USB connection may need to be re-established.
Example:
>RENEW DHCP
RESET FACTORY
Resets the device’s stored parameters to factory default state including removal of all security settings,
resetting to DHCP.
This command will cause an automatic reboot.
NOTE:
This command does not reset the device to the factory software image.
SEND_COMMAND
[D:P:S,"'command'"]
Sends the specified SEND_COMMAND (does not work with queries) to the current DXLink Transmitter or
Receiver.
NOTE:
Commands cannot be forwarded to other D:P:S. Asynchronous notifications are available for the
Transmitters via Telnet (and NetLinx Studio).
Example:
send_command 6501:1:0,"’VIDIN_AUTO_SELECT-ENABLE’"
SEND_STRING
[D:P:S,"string"]
Sends the specified SEND_STRING to the current DXLink Transmitter or Receiver or connected Master.
NOTE:
Commands cannot be forwarded to other D:P:S. Asynchronous notifications are available for the
Transmitters via Telnet (and NetLinx Studio).
Example:
send_string 32001:1:1,"27,18,0"
