To create Digital Output Scripts:
1.
Use the drop-down menu to select the
Digital Output Script slot
, and assign a
label
.
2.
Enter a script that should be executed when activated.
Valid commands for scripts are ‘echo’ and ‘nc’. The ‘+’ sign can be used for separating mul
tiple
commands.
The
echo
command contains the body of the message. Proper usage is:
echo “
Body_of_the_message
”
Example:
echo
“activate cam_1”
The
nc
(netcat) command establishes the communications link. Proper usage is:
nc
<IP_ADDRESS> <PORT>
Example:
nc
192.168.1.100 23
Commands are often combined to create a relationship between a message and its destination. This can
be achieved through use of the ‘|’ (pipe).
The
|
(pipe) is used to pass one command into another. For example, I can pipe a message into its
destination.
Example:
echo
“activate cam_1” |
nc
192.168.1.100 23
