Viper can support up to 4 diagnostics socket connections at once. This may be used, for
instance, to carry out monitoring at a main office and at up to three separate field locations.
It is also possible one of the four connections use a serial port instead by enabling it on the
Viper’s web browser interface.
Output Format
The online diagnostic output is man/machine readable, ASCII, comma-delimited format. Any
reader program used (or written) must decode the VERSION FIELD and check for type 1 as
more types may be released in the future.
From a Command Prompt window, type
telnet nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn 6272
and the unit’s online
diagnostic output will display on the screen (where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is your unit’s IP
address in dot decimal format). Note: no overhead is generated in the Viper unit if no
online diagnostic connection is actually made.
