Displays this list of commands.
Enables/Disables/queries the auto locate feature on the Master. Auto locate adds additional
broadcast information for use by AMX Touch Panel devices configured in Auto connect mode.
Returns the current boot state of the master. Response is either "Boot in progress." or "Boot
complete."
Purges the entire database of audit records. See the SHOW AUDIT LOG section on page 97.
Reset the max buffers high-water counters to zero.
Clear out the persistent/non-volatile variable values without having to download a new NetLinx

Displays the current date and day of the week.
Example:
>DATE
10/31/2004 Wed
ENABLES/DISABLES the addition of a date time stamp to the terminal logs displayed via "msg on"
DATE/TIME is Off by default at the start of each Terminal/Telnet session.
Sets the Master to holdoff devices (i.e. does not allow them to report ONLINE) until all objects in the
NetLinx program have completed executing the DEFINE_START section. If set to ON, any
messages to devices in DEFINE_START will be lost, however, this prevents incoming messages
being lost in the Master upon startup. When DEVICE_HOLDOFF is ON, you must use ONLINE events
to trigger device startup SEND_COMMANDs.
By default, DEVICE_HOLDOFF is OFF to maintain compatibility with Axcess systems where devices
are initialized in DEFINE_START.
Note: This command sets the state of the device holdoff. The GET DEVICE HOLDOFF command reveals
whether the state is On or Off (see page 88).
Example:
>Device Holdoff ON
Device Holdoff Set.
