Page 18: Xml-Rpc
The Smart-Net Gateway features an XML-RPC server that accepts commands from remote systems. Issuing XML-RPC commands to the Smart-Net Gateway provides a simple and platform independent way to remotely manage the Smart-Net Gateway and devices on the Smart-Net Network. XML-RPC (http://www.xml-rpc.com/) was designed by UserLand Software (http://www.userland.com/) in an effort to ease cross-platform remote procedure calls. -
Page 19: Common Field Descriptions
This field is a series of bits used as flags to help troubleshoot Smart- Net or protocol problems. If this field is zero (0), this indicates that no Smart-Net problems occurred during the method call. For any other value, convert the integer to a 32-bit binary number and observe the bits that are set (logical 1). -
Page 20: Romid
The “ROMID” field (string) is the Smart-Net identification string that is unique to every Smart-Net device. Knowing the ROMID is the only way to read or reconfigure a Smart- Net device. If the ROMID is not known, the SmartNet.Find method can be used to discover devices on the network. -
