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.

Using the Command and Response Tables

SIS commands consist of a string (one or more characters per command field). No special
characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the DMP 128
determines a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host
device. All responses end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ] ), signaling the
end of the response character string.

If the DMP 128 is off and an RS-232 connection is already set up (the PC is cabled to
the DMP 128 and a serial communication program such as HyperTerminal is open), the
connected unit sends these messages via RS-232 when first powered on.
A Telnet connection to the DMP 128 is first opened. The day of the week, date, and
time are shown when the DMP 128 is connected via Telnet, but not via RS-232. If
