Control Command Table

Notes:

• See Word / Parameter Formats below the following tables for guidance on Words in raw format and parameters in ASCII format.

• With regards to Direct Level commands, if you enter a negative value, then the output level will be 0; if you enter a value greater than 100, then the level will be 100.

• When you send a command, if you have entered an invalid parameter or it has been sent to a device A physical item with which you can interact, either directly or via Designer., router In the sense of a lighting system, a router is an intelligent device whose software and hardware perform the tasks of routing and forwarding messages (data) from control devices to the control gear. A router contains two or more subnets. or cluster that does not exist, then you will receive an error message describing what is wrong with the command. See Error / Diagnostic Messages.

Note:

• In an ASCII string, the parameters are not required to be in the order shown below.

Router In the sense of a lighting system, a router is an intelligent device whose software and hardware perform the tasks of routing and forwarding messages (data) from control devices to the control gear. A router contains two or more subnets. 1..254

Subnet A subnet is a part of a router. There are two or more subnets on each router. The subnet allows the flow of network traffic between hosts to be segregated, based on network configuration. By organising hosts into logical groups and joining them, subnetting, network security and performance can be improved. 1..4
