11. COMMAND SERVER FACILITY
The SDT 5000 provides an important remote access facility called the Command Server. Refer to
the SDT 5000 Command Reference document for details on commands supported by the SDT
5000. The command server may be access via the following interfaces:
1.
A host system may use an X.25 sub-address of 2 to connect to the command server
facility. Only one X.25 command server connection is supported at a time.
2.
Local command line on the test port provides direct access to the command server.
3.
When using the Narrowband Protocol the command server primitive allows the RTU to
send commands and receive the responses.
4.
IP interfaces can access the command server via UDP port 50001.
5.
The BSN provides a mechanism in its “Modem Command” screen to send command
server commands.
The command server can only deal with one command at a time and every command has a
response. The host system should wait for the response before sending the next command. Some
commands may be very long and come as a series of messages. Help text can be displayed for
every command which describes the command usage.
Just typing help will summarize all the commands the user has access too. Note that the
commands will change depending on the units mode. The following is a partial list of some
important commands:
help [command]
If no command name is specified, display help for all
available commands. Otherwise, display help for the
given command.
log [type [mode]]
Enable log messages.
login username password
Enable additional commands.
rz
Z-modem receive file
satcfg
Configure the satellite modem command.
status
Get the current status of the satellite communication
link.
ver
Display the software version strings.
The SDT 5000 recognizes spaces as the end of parameter, command or string. If you wish to
insert a space inside a string, you must enclose the string within quotation marks (i.e. “ string with
spaces”).
