Serial / Telnet Commands
The following commands can be used to provide basic remote control of a VN-MATRIX system.
Commands can be issued either as part of a serial remote control configuration (see page 89) or by
using a Telnet application via the network (see page 106).
In either case, a control session must first be initiated by sending a valid username and password.
All commands must be terminated (actioned) with a ‘new line’ character (carriage return not required).
In programs such as Telnet, this is accomplished by pressing the Enter key.
Control Session Commands
user <username>
Initiates a user login. To be able to change system settings you must login using the
‘admin’ user account.
EXAMPLE: user admin
pass <password>
Specifies the password for the user account. By default this will be ‘admin’ but may have
been changed using the Web Interface (see page 81).
EXAMPLE: pass admin
exit
Terminates the current remote control session.
