Terminal Commands

Program Port or a Telnet terminal session (with the exception of the "Help Security" and
"Resetadminpassword" commands, which are only available to a Program Port (RS232) connection.
In your terminal program, type "Help" or a question mark ("?") and <Enter> to access the Help Menu,
and display the Program port commands described below:
If a connection is opened, but a valid a username / password combination is not
entered (i.e. just sitting at a login prompt), the connection will be closed after one
minute.

DEVICE HOLDOFF ON|OFF
Sets the Master to holdoff devices (i.e. does not allow them to report
ONLINE) until all objects in the NetLinx program have completed
executing the DEFINE_START section.
If set to ON, any messages to devices in DEFINE_START will be lost,
however, this prevents incoming messages being lost in the Master
upon startup.
When DEVICE_HOLDOFF is ON, you must use ONLINE events to trig-
ger device startup SEND_COMMANDs.
By default, DEVICE HOLDOFF is OFF to maintain compatibility with
Axcess systems where devices are initialized in DEFINE_START.
Note: This command sets the state of the device holdoff. The
GET DEVICE HOLDOFF command reveals whether the state is On or
Off.
Example:
>Device Holdoff ON
Device Holdoff Set.
DEVICE STATUS <D:P:S>
Displays a list of all active (on) channels for the specified D:P:S.
If you enter DEVICE STATUS without the D:P:S variable, the Master
displays ports, channels, and version information.
DISK FREE Displays the total bytes of free space available on the Master.
Example:
>DISK FREE
The disk has 2441216 bytes of free space.
