OPTIMOD-FM DIGITAL
Automating control changes is possible using the Windows Task Scheduler to launch
batch files at the desired time.
CAUTION: Because of the powerful features and potential security risks
of Netcat, many virus programs may detect this software as a threat. If
Netcat is detected as such, configure virus software to allow, and use the
software with the normal security precautions. The outbound configura-
tions shown here do not provide any security risks. Inbound connections,
if used for other applications, require careful security configuration.
In the examples below, replace "123.45.67.89" with the IP address of the 8500S you
are controlling. Replace "23" with the terminal port you specified using the method
described on page 2-47. Port 23 is the factory default.
Automated Control Using PuTTY/Plink
This method is scripted with a .cmd file and calls a .txt file. Via plink.exe, the .cmd
file calls putty.exe, which then makes the network connection between the com-
puter executing putty.exe and 8500S, and specifies the .txt file to use.
The .txt file contains the 8500S commands.
The following two examples recall the presets GREGG and GREGG OPEN respec-
tively.
The file "8500S_P1_Gregg.cmd" contains:
plink -raw -P 23 123.45.67.89 < 8500S_P1_Gregg.txt
The file "8500S_P1_Gregg.txt" contains:
RP GREGG [PASSWORD]
disconnect
The file "8500S_P2_GreggOpen.cmd" contains:
plink -raw -P 23 123.45.67.89 < 8500S_P2_GreggOpen.txt
The file "8500S_P2_GreggOpen.txt" contains
RP GREGG OPEN [PASSWORD]
disconnect
Automated Control Using Netcat
Only one utility is required to use this method: netcat.exe. This is available as a free
download. Google "netcat."
This method is scripted with a .cmd file and calls a .txt file.
•
The .cmd file calls netcat.exe to make the network connection between the com-
puter executing netcat.exe and 8500S, and specifies the .txt file to use.
•
The .txt file contains the 8500S commands.
