Command Control
Advanced users may need to control the device via API
commands. Two methods are provided for controlling this device
through API commands:
1. RS232.
Connect a control PC to the RS232 port of the device. Before
sending API commands to control the device, ensure the serial
ports between this device and PC are configured correctly. A
professional RS232 serial interface software (e.g. Serial Assist)
may be needed as well.
Parameters Default Value
Baud Rate 115200 bps

Parity None
Stop bits 1 bit
Flow control None
2. Telnet.
Connect a control PC to the LAN port of the device. Before you
intend to control the device through telnet API, you shall
establish connection between this device and your computer.
The form of the command for telnet connection is below:
telnet ip (port)
 ip: The device’s IP address.

12
 port: The device’s port number, this is non-required for
some Telnet control tools. The default setting is 23.
For example, if the device’s IP address is 192.168.11.143, the
command for telnet connection shall be the following:
telnet 192.168.11.143
Obtain IP Address of the Device
To obtain the device’s IP address:
1. Connect a control PC to the RS232 port of the device.
2. Configure RS232 parameters for the PC’s serial port
correctly through a RS232 serial port tool, such as Serial
Assist.
3. Input the command GET IPADDR<CR><LF> and send. You will
get a response with IP address, see following:
Input:
GET IPADDR<CR><LF>
Response:
IPADDR 172.16.18.173 MASK 255.255.255.0 GATEWAY 172.16.18.1
