Events

# UNRESOLVED: source does not describe unsolicited event notifications

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: no explicit multi-step macro sequences described in source

Safety

confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks: []
# UNRESOLVED: no explicit safety warnings or interlock procedures in source
# Note: RS232 and LAN do not work in Standby Mode if Power Saving Config is set to Standby Mode
# Note: LAN only responds to Wake-on-LAN magic packet in Networked Standby mode

Notes

RS-232 commands over LAN achieved via TCP connection on Port 23. Command format: (CMD Operand Value) with CR terminator. Response format: (ResponseCode;CMD=x=z) with CR LF terminator. Response codes 0–11 defined. Increment/decrement operators available for most numeric params. No password required. Firmware-dependent commands may exist in later versions.
