3.3 Configuring Events Through Get Requests (Model XRDI-WS3P only)
Events can be configured using a Get request. For example, to configure event 5 to start on March 8,
2009 at 02:30:10 and continue periodically every second for 50 times, toggling the outlet each time,
send the following request (using the default IP address):
http://192.168.1.2/eventSetup.srv?
e5=1236479410;1;0;50;0;4;1.50;0;Event5Desc;127;
The basic format of the request is: e(event#)=epoch time;period;period units;count;outlet number;outlet
action;pulse duration;0;description; days;
