Serial Port Profiles
Custom Application Profile
Overview
The Custom App/Plugin profile is used in conjunction with custom applications created for the
IOLAN by using the Perle SDK. See the SDK Programmer’s Guide (the SDK and guide are
accessible via a request form located on the Perle website at
www.perle.com/supportfiles/SDK_Request.shtml) for information about the functions that
are supported.
Functionality
You must download the program and any ancillary files to the IOLAN and set the serial port to the
Custom App/Plugin profile to actually run a custom application. You must also specify the program
executable and any parameters you want to pass to the program in the
Command Line field. The
custom application is automatically run when the serial port is started.
General Tab Field Description
Configure the following parameter:
Command Line The name of the SDK program executable that has been already been
downloaded to the IOLAN, plus any parameters you want to pass to the
program.Use the
shell CLI command as described in the SDK Programmer’s
Guide to manage the files that you have downloaded to the IOLAN. For
example, using sample outraw program, you would type:
outraw 192.168.2.1:10001 Acct:10001
if you were starting the application on a serial port.
