Serial Control From NetLinx
Serial control in NetLinx is roughly similar to serial control within an XPress project, in that the target
parameter used when defining the serial protocol file is also used in the Send_String command. It is the value
that follows “amx:control:” in the command line. The example below uses a target of "monitor". The variables
used in the Send_String command are:
target
variable name of command type
command
The generic NetLinx code would be:
SEND_STRING dvIPServer,”'UPDATE “amx:control:{target}:{variable name}”
“{command}”',13,10,13,10”
Below is the power command as defined for this monitor.
With these variables, the resultant NetLinx code would read:
SEND_STRING dvIPServer,”'UPDATE “amx:control:monitor:power” “Off”',13,10,13,10"
SEND_STRING dvIPServer,”'UPDATE “amx:control:monitor:power” “On”',13,10,13,10”
