To restrict access to the Master via terminal connection, enable Configuration Security on the
Master via the CONFIGURATION SECURITY option in the Security Options menu - see the
Security Options Menu section on page 118 for details). With Configuration Security enabled, a
valid user with Configuration Security access will have to login before being able to execute Telnet
commands. If security is not enabled, these commands are available to all.
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.
Terminal Commands
The Terminal commands listed in the following table can be sent directly to the Master via either a 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:

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, how-
ever, this prevents incoming messages being lost in the Master upon
startup.
When DEVICE_HOLDOFF is ON, you must use ONLINE events to trigger
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 dis-
plays ports, channels, and version information.
DIPSWITCH Displays the current state of the Master controller's hardware dipswitches.
DISK FREE Displays the total bytes of free space available on the Master.
Example:
>DISK FREE
The disk has 2441216 bytes of free space.
