in March, ends on the last Sunday in

October. DST should be turned off for

Iceland.

X3%

= Event number: 0 - 99

This is valid only while events are

running.

X3^

= Event buffer:

0 = receive

1 = user (absolute, unified)

2 = user (relative, data)

3 = NVRAM

X3&

= Event buffer offset: 0 - [max. buffer size]

X3*

= Event data buffer size (only the first letter is

needed):

b = bit

B = byte (8 bits)

S = short (16 bits)

L = long (32 bits)

N

This parameter is case sensitive.

X3(

= Event data to write

X4!

= Password to display on screen (response to

password query or set). When the unit

connects to a host device via RS-232, the
password (

X3#

), itself, is the response.

When the connection is via IP,

X4!

is

4 asterisks (****) if a password has been

assigned, or it is an empty field ( ) if a

password hasn’t been assigned.

X4@

= Contact input state

0 = off (open)

1 = on (closed, shorted)

X4$

= Number of bytes to read (1 - 27)

X4%

= E-mail event number or mailbox (1 - 64). The

response includes leading zeros.

X4^

= E-mail recipient’s address

(e.g., [email protected]) for the person to

whom messages will be sent. The e-mail

address has a 31 character maximum.

X4&

= Name (for CR commands) or numeral (1 - 999,

for SM commands) of the e-mail file to be

sent

N

E-mail files must have a file extension of .eml.

The first line of the file is the subject, the rest is
the body of the e-mail.

X4(

= Default name: a combination of the model

name and the last 3 pairs of the unit’s

MAC address (e.g., IPL-250-03-69-B0)

X5)

= Redirection status:

0 = no redirection

1 - 3 = redirect serial port communication

from the specified port (1 = COM1, 2 =

COM2, or 3 = COM3) to allow a serial

pass-through mode (See “

Serial pass-

through (redirect mode)

” in chapter 3.)

X5@

= Connection’s security level:

0 = not logged in

11 = user

12 = administrator

The response includes leading zeros.

X5#

= Timeout period in tens of milliseconds for

serial data pass-through mode, after

which event data can be inserted into

the transmit buffer and the serial port is

released to another source

(Default = 10 = 100 ms, range = 1 - 32767.)

leading zeros.

X2@

= Verbose/response mode status:

0 = clear, default for Telnet connections

1 = verbose mode is on

2 = send tagged responses for queries

3 = verbose mode is on and tagged

responses are sent for queries

N

If tagged responses are enabled, all read

commands return the constant string + the data
or value, the same as in responses for setting
a value. For example, for

E

CN

}

, the

response is Ipn•

X1@ ]

rather than just the

data (

X1@ ]

).

X2#

= Priority status for receiving timeouts:

0 = use send data string command

parameters (0 = default)

1 = use configure receive timeout command

parameters

X2%

= Baud rate: 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 3600,

4800, 7200, 9600 (default), 14400, 19200,

28800, 38400, 57600, or 115200

X2^

= Parity (only the first letter is needed):

O = odd

E = even

N = none (default)

M = mark

S = space

X2&

= Data bits: 7, 8 (default = 8)

X2*

= Stop bits: 1, 2 (default = 1)

X2(

= Serial port type:

0 = RS-232 (the only serial protocol

supported by the IPL 250)

X3)

= Flow control (only the first letter is needed):

H = hardware

S = software

N = none

X3!

= Data pacing (time between bytes) in

miliseconds (0000 - 1000). 0000 (0 ms) is

the default.

X3#

= Password (minimum length = 4 characters,

maximum length = 12 characters)

No special characters are allowed: use

alphanumeric characters. Passwords are

case sensitive.

N

A user password cannot be assigned if no

administrator password exists; the E14 error
code will be returned. If the administrator
password is cleared, then the user password is
also removed.

X3$

= Daylight saving time (DST) is a region-

specific 1-hour offset that begins in spring

and ends in fall.

0 = off/ignore

1 = USA on – Starting in 2007, DST begins

on the second Sunday of March at 2 AM

and ends at 2 AM on the first Sunday

of November. For example, time in

California is GMT -8:00 from March to

November and GMT -7:00 from November

to March. However, DST should be

turned off in Hawaii, American Samoa,

Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands,

the eastern time zone portion of the

state of Indiana, and the state of Arizona

(excluding the Navajo Nation).

2 = Europe on – begins on the last Sunday
