Terminal Commands - AMX NI-2000 Programming Manual

Terminal Commands

The Terminal commands listed in the following table can be sent directly to the Master via either a
Program Port or a Telnet terminal session (with the exception of the "Help Security" and
"Resetadminpassword" commands, which are only available to a Program Port (RS232) connection.
In your terminal program, type "Help" or a question mark ("?") and <Enter> to access the Help Menu,

Login not authorized. Please try again.
After a delay, another login prompt will be displayed to allow you to try again.
If after 5 prompts, the login information is not entered correctly, the following message will
be displayed and the connection closed:
Login not allowed. Goodbye!
To restrict access to the Master via terminal connection, enable Configuration Security on the
Master via the CONFIGURATION SECURITY option in the Security Options menu - see the
Security Options Menu section on page 116 for details). With Configuration Security enabled,
a valid user with Configuration Security access will have to login before being able to execute
Telnet commands. If security is not enabled, these commands are available to all.
If a connection is opened, but a valid a username / password combination is not entered (i.e.
just sitting at a login prompt), the connection will be closed after one minute.
Description
(Extended diag messages are OFF)
<D:P:S>: Device:Port:System. If omitted, assumes Master.
Displays this list of commands.
Diagnostic tool to calculate a running average of the current CPU
usage of the Master.
Displays the current date and day of the week.
Example:
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 trig-
ger 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.
