Command Description
RESETADMINPASSWORD This command resets the administrator password back to "password".
Note: This command is only available to Program Port terminal sessions. It is not
available to Telnet sessions (see the Overview section on page 97).
RESET FACTORY Resets the Master to factory default state including removal of all security settings,
removal of all user files, resetting to DHCP, and loading an empty NetLinx program.
The Master will be effectively in an out-of-box state.
ROUTE MODE DIRECT|NORMAL Sets the Master-to-Master route mode:
• Normal mode - allows a Master to communicate with any Master accessible via
the routing tables (shown with the SHOW ROUTE command - see page 112). This
includes a directly-connected Master (route metric =1) and indirectly connected
Masters (route metric greater than 1, but less than 16).
• Direct mode - allows communication only with Masters that are directly connected
(route metric = 1). Indirectly connected Masters cannot be communicated within
this mode.
Examples:
>ROUTE MODE DIRECT
Route Mode "Direct" Set
>ROUTE MODE NORMAL
Route Mode "Normal" Set
SEND_COMMAND D:P:S or 
NAME,COMMAND
Sends a specified command to a device. The device can be on any system that the
Master you are connected to can reach. You can specify the device number, port,
and system; or the name of the device that is defined in the DEFINE_DEVICE
section of the Program.
The data of the string is entered with the following NetLinx string syntax:
SEND_COMMAND 1:1:1,"'This is a test',13,10"
SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,"'This is a test',13,10"
SEND_LEVEL <D:P:S>,
<LEVEL ID>,<LEVEL VALUE>
Allows the user to set a level on a device via the Master's Telnet/
program port interface.
SEND_STRING D:P:S or 
NAME,STRING
Sends a string to a specified device. The device can be on any system that the
Master you are connected to can reach.
You can specify the device number, port, and system; or the name of the device
defined in the DEFINE_DEVICE section of the Program.
The data of the string is entered with NetLinx string syntax.
SET DATE Prompts you to enter the new date for the Master. When the date is set on the
Master, the new date will be reflected on all devices in the system that have clocks
(i.e. touch panels). By the same token, if you set the date on any system device, the
new date will be reflected on the system’s Master, and on all connected devices.
Note: This command will not update clocks on devices connected to another Master
(in Master-to-Master systems).
Example:
>SET DATE
Enter Date: (mm/dd//yyyy) ->
