11.5.2 Starting DALI PA via Telnet
Proceed as follows to start the DALI protocol analyzer via the telnet interface:
1.
Connect to your L-DALI using a telnet client and log in with the “admin” user. The
login credentials are identical to the ones of the Web Interface (see Section 5.1).
2.
Start the DALI protocol analyzer using the command
dali_pa <channel> [filter]
where <channel> gives the DALI channel (1-4), which has to be analyzed and [filter] is
an optional filter mask as described in Table 45.
3.
Press any key to stop the DALI analyzer again.

received (end of frame).
Settling time

in Te (1 Te = 416.67 μs). The maximum value shown is “99TE”.
