Manual Message
The ceilometer can be set to transmit user defined cloud heights and
status information. The user can set a cloud message in the format of
line 2 of any real cloud message (e.g. Message No. 1 or CT25K data
message). The message is a string and the maximum length is 33
characters. If the length is less than 33 characters, the remaining
length will be padded with spaces. (The CT25K messages use only 29
characters). The end of a string is determined by a new line and the
leading spaces are omitted. This message is volatile. The manual
message command is behind the password "advanced". Below is an
example of a manual message:
CEILO > advanced
Service password accepted.
CEILO > set message manual_msg "30 00200 01000 05000
000000000000"
OK
The
get params message
command displays the current manual
message.
To return to the normal messages, give an empty string:
CEILO > set meesage manual_msg
OK
The manual message is intended for testing purposes. After reset, the
normal message takes effect.
Polling Mode
A port can be set to transmit a message only when polled by a
predetermined polling string of characters. The polling string can
contain the message identification.
The CL31 unit can be assigned an identification of one-character digit
or letter. The factory setting is 0 (zero).
The polling mode is activated with the following command:
CEILO >
set message transmission request
