17. Command Reference Guide

17.1. Command Mode Access

When the NLJ is properly installed and configured, command mode can be accessed by a local PC connected directly to the Console Port, by a remote PC that communicates via modem, or via TCP/IP network.

Notes:

If the Site I.D. Message (System Parameters Menu, Item 4) has been defined, the Site I.D. will be displayed before the "PollCat-NetLink" prompt.

When the Supervisor Password is entered, the NLJ will start in Supervisor Mode, allowing access to all menu functions. When a User password is entered, the NLJ will start in User Mode, which allows limited access to menu functions.

The Default Supervisor Mode Password is SUPER, and the default User Mode Password is SMDR.

Remote Access (via Modem): Start your communications program and dial the NLJ unit.
1. The unit will respond with the "PollCat-NetLink" (password) prompt after the carrier is detected.
2. Key in a valid password and press [Enter]. Note that the Password feature is case-sensitive.
3. The Main Menu or the "Ready" prompt will be displayed. If the "Ready" prompt is displayed, press [Enter] to display the NLJ Main Menu.
Local Access (Console Port): Start your communications program.
1. If Set-Up Switch 7 is UP (Enable Console Port Password), the "PollCat-NetLink" (password) prompt will be displayed.
2. Key in a valid password and press [Enter]. Note that the Password feature is case-sensitive.
3. The Main Menu or the "Ready" prompt will be displayed. If the "Ready" prompt is displayed, press [Enter] to display the NLJ Main Menu.

Access via TCP/IP Network: If network parameters for the NLJ unit have been assigned (see Section 4.4.4), establish a telnet session using the following format:

telnet ipaddress [port] [Enter]

Where:

ipaddress	The NLJ's assigned IP Address.
port	(Optional) The desired Port Number. If this item is omitted, telnet will connect to port #23 by default; Command Echo will be set according to the NLJ's current configuration, and $FF Stuffing will be enabled. Options: 2001 Behaves the same as Port #23. 3001 Preconfigured with echo enabled and $FF Stuffing Off.

Note: For more telnet port number options, please refer to Section 16.

If the password is enabled, the "PollCat-NetLink" (password) prompt will appear.
Key in a valid password and press [Enter]. Note that the Password feature is case-sensitive.

After a brief pause, the Main Menu or the "Ready" prompt will appear. If the "Ready" prompt is displayed, press [Enter] to display the NLJ Main Menu.

To end a session, disconnect using your Telnet software.

17.2. Command Syntax

Most commands conform to the following conventions:

Commands normally begin with the ASCII "Control B" character (written as ^B throughout this manual).

To temporarily suppress the Command Echo for any command, use the ^A character in place of the ^B character. For example, if Command Echo is enabled and Command ^B03 (Send Site ID) is invoked, the NLJ will echo the command back to the polling device and send the Site ID message. If ^A is substituted for ^B (e.g. ^A03), the Site ID message will be sent, but the command will not be echoed back to the polling device.

Each command is invoked by pressing the [Enter] key.

A comma (,) is used to separate a command from its options or parameters (e.g. ^B01,10).

17.4 Command Summary

^B00 Set/Reset Memory Partition

Sets or releases the memory partition for your command port.

Notes:

If this command does not include an argument, the partition will be set to include all data by default.

The Release partition argument (R) cannot be combined with the type argument.

The ^B00 command line cannot specify two data types.

Square brackets are not included in the command line. They are shown here to indicate an option.

The Source argument is included to maintain compatibility with standard NetLink units. If the Source argument is omitted, ^B00 will set a partition for PBX Port A.

Command ^B00 uses one of the following formats:

^B00[,type][,source] [Enter] or ^B00[,R] [Enter]

Where:

,type	Data Type: Offers the following options:
	,D or ,STD	Standard (Non-Alarm) Records.
	,A1 or A	Records that match Alarm Filter 1.
	,A2	Records that match Alarm Filter 2.
	,ALM	Include All Alarm Records.
	(Not Specified)	Include all data.
,source	Source Port: Offers the following options:
	,PA	Records received via PBX Port A.

	,R	Release Data Partition: The "R" option cannot be combined with other ^B00 arguments.

Examples:

^B00,D	Set partition to include all records that did not match an Alarm Clue.
^B00,A1	Include records that matched Alarm Filter 1.
^B00,R	Release the current data partition.

Corresponding Menu Function: Buffer Functions, Items 2 and 3.

^B01 Enter Data Release Mode

Releases data collected from the PBX.

Notes:

When data is released in groups of "n" records (e.g. ^B01,30), command ^B02 is sent to release the next group of records.

To exit Data Release Mode and return to command mode, type ^B30 [Enter].

If the XON/XOFF function is enabled at the command port, the NLJ will respond to XON/XOFF flow control during data release.

If "Data on ^B01" is disabled, and ^B01,n is invoked to release data in groups of "n" records, a ^B02 is required in order to release the first group.

If "Hold End Data" is enabled, a ^B02 is required in order to release the End Data message.

Command Options:

When Command ^B01 is invoked, the following format is used:

^B01[,type][,source][@n][,n] [Enter]

Where:

,type	Data Type: Offers the following options:

,n	Count: Releases records in groups of "n", where n is a positive, whole number.

^B01 Data Release Mode (Continued)

Notes:

The Source argument is included to maintain compatibility with standard NetLink units. If the Source argument is omitted, the ^B01 command will release records that were received via PBX Port A.

If both Alarm Filters include a clue with the same name, the command must specify the desired filter. For example, if Alarm Filters 1 and 2 both include a clue named TEST, to retrieve data from filter 1, the command line would read ^B01,A1,"TEST".

Each command option is preceded by a comma, with the exception of the Offset option (@n). This option is preceded by the "@" character. Do not enter a comma before the
@ character.

When the Binary Block Mode is used, commands will release blocks instead of individual records.

Square brackets are not included in the command line. They are shown here to indicate an option.
