Command Description
SET THRESHOLD Sets the Master's internal message thresholds.
This command will set the thresholds of when particular tasks are pended. The 
threshold is the number of messages queued before a task is pended.
Use extreme caution when adjusting these values.
Note: The Master must be rebooted to enable new settings.
Example:
>SET THRESHOLD
-- This will set the thresholds of when particular tasks are pended. 
The threshold is the number of messages queued before a task is 
pended.--
--Use extreme caution when adjusting these values.--
 Current Interpreter Threshold = 2000
 Enter new Interpreter Threshold (Between 1 and 2000)(Default=10):
Once you enter a value and press the ENTER key, you get the following message:
 Current Lontalk Threshold = 50
 Enter new Lontalk Threshold (Between 1 and 2000)
 (Default=50):50
 Current IP Threshold = 600
 Enter new IP Threshold (Between 1 and 2000)
 (Default=200): 600
 Setting Thresholds to: Interpreter 2000
 Lontalk 50
 IP 600
New thresholds set, reboot the Master for the changes to take effect.
SET TIME Sets the current time. When the time is set on the Master, the new time will be 
reflected on all devices in the system that have clocks (i.e. touch panels). By the 
same token, if you set the time on any system device, the new time will be reflected 
on the system’s Master, and on all connected devices.
Note: This will not update clocks on devices connected to another Master (in 
Master-to-Master systems).
Example:
>SET TIME
 Enter Date: (hh:mm:ss) ->
SET TIMELINE LOOPCNT Sets the Master's timeline/event max loopcount.
SET UDP BC RATE Sets the UDP broadcast rate. A broadcast message is sent by the Master to allow 
devices to discover the Master. This command allows the broadcast frequency to be 
changed or eliminate the broadcast message.
Example:
>SET UPD BC RATE
 Current broadcast message rate is 5 seconds between messages.
 Enter broadcast message rate in seconds between messages
 (off=0 ; default=5) (valid values 0-300):
Once you enter a value and press the ENTER key, you get the following message:
Setting broadcast message rate to 300 seconds between messages
New broadcast message rate set.
SET URL <D:P:S> Sets the initiated connection list URLs of a device. Enter the URL address and port 
number of another Master or device (that will be added to the URL list). 
• Enter Y (yes) to approve/store the new addresses in the Master. 
• Enter N (no) to cancel the operation.
Example:
>SET URL [0:1:0]
 No URLs in the URL connection list
 Type A and Enter to Add a URL or Enter to exit.
> a
 Enter URL -> 192.168.21.200
 Enter Port or hit Enter to accept default (1319) ->
 Enter Type (Enter for permanent or T for temporary) ->
 URL Added successfully.
