Terminal Commands (Cont.)
Command Description
SET SYSTEM NUMBER Sets the system number for this Master.
NOTE: The Master must be rebooted to enable new settings.
Example:
>set system number
Current System number = 1
Enter new System number : 2
Setting System number to 2
New System number set, reboot the master for the change to take effect.
SET TELNET PORT Sets the Master’s IP port listened to for Telnet connections.
NOTE: The Master must be rebooted to enable new settings.
Example:
>SET TELNET PORT
Current telnet port number = 23
Enter new telnet port number (Usually 23)
(0=disable Telnet):
Once you enter a value and press the ENTER key, you receive the following message:
Setting telnet port number to 23
New telnet port number set, reboot the Master for the change to take effect.
SET THRESHOLD Sets the Master's internal message thresholds.
This command will set the thresholds of when particular tasks are pended. The threshold is the
number of messages queued before a task is pended.
Use extreme caution when adjusting these values.
NOTE: The Master must be rebooted to enable new settings.
Example:
>SET THRESHOLD
-- This will set the thresholds of when particular tasks are pended. The
threshold is the number of messages queued before a task is pended.--
--Use extreme caution when adjusting these values.--
Current Interpreter Threshold = 2000
Enter new Interpreter Threshold (Between 1 and 2000)(Default=10):
Once you enter a value and press the ENTER key, you receive the following message:
Current Lontalk Threshold = 50
Enter new Lontalk Threshold (Between 1 and 2000)
(Default=50):50
Current IP Threshold = 600
Enter new IP Threshold (Between 1 and 2000)
(Default=200): 600
Setting Thresholds to: Interpreter 2000
Lontalk 50
IP 600
New thresholds set, reboot the Master for the changes to take effect.
SET TIME Sets the current time. When the time is set on the Master, the new time will be reflected on all
devices in the system that have clocks (i.e. touch panels). By the same token, if you set the time on
any system device, the new time will be reflected on the system’s Master, and on all connected
devices.
NOTE: This will not update clocks on devices connected to another Master (in
Master-to-Master systems).
Example:
>SET TIME
Enter Date: (hh:mm:ss) ->
SET TIMELINE LOOPCNT Sets the Master's timeline/event max loopcount.
SET UDP BC RATE Sets the UDP broadcast rate. A broadcast message is sent by the Master to allow devices to
discover the Master. This command allows the broadcast frequency to be changed or eliminate the
broadcast message.
Example:
>SET UPD BC RATE
Current broadcast message rate is 5 seconds between messages.
Enter broadcast message rate in seconds between messages
(off=0; default=5) (valid values 0-300):
Once you enter a value and press the ENTER key, you receive the following message:
Setting broadcast message rate to 300 seconds between messages
New broadcast message rate set.
