Connection Timeouts
The Ethernet link times out after a designated period of time of no communications. By
default, this timeout value is set to 5 minutes but the value can be changed. See the
Configure port timeout commands on page 65.
NOTE: Extron recommends leaving the default timeout at 5 minutes and periodically

Verbose Mode

Telnet connections can be used to monitor for changes that occur, such as SIS commands
from other Telnet sockets or a serial port. For a Telnet session to receive change notices,
the Telnet session must be in verbose mode 1 or 3. In verbose mode 1 or 3, the Telnet
socket reports changes in messages that resemble SIS command responses.

Host-to-device communications

The ASCII and URL commands listed in the following tables perform the same functions,
but are encoded differently to accommodate the requirements of each port (Telnet or
browser).

DMP 64-initiated Messages

The DMP 64 initiates messages under specific conditions. No response is required from
the host. The DMP 64-initiated messages are listed here (underlined).

Password Information

The " ] Password:" prompt requires a password (administrator level or user level)
followed by a carriage return. The prompt is repeated if the correct password is not
entered.
If the correct password is entered, the unit responds with
" ] Login Administrator ] " or " ] Login User ] ", depending on the password
entered. If passwords are the same for both administrator and user, the unit will default
to administrator privileges.
issuing the Query (Q) command to keep the connection active. If there are
long idle periods, disconnect the socket and reopen the connection when
another command must be sent.
HH:MM:SS
If the DMP 64 is off and an RS-232 connection is already set up (the PC is cabled to
the DMP 64 and a serial communication program such as HyperTerminal is open), the
connected unit sends these messages via RS-232 when first powered on.
If the DMP 64 is on, it sends the boot and copyright messages when a Telnet
connection to the DMP 64 is first opened. The day of the week, date, and time are
shown when the DMP 64 is connected via Telnet, but not via RS-232. If using a
Telnet connection, the copyright message, date, and time are followed by a password
prompt.
