4.7.1. Digital Output Scripts
The VOIP-500 supports ASCII digital outputs to third-party devices. The Digital Outputs – Scripts page allows
for creation of scripts that will run when activated on the Digital Outputs – Events page.
Login → Digital Outputs → Scripts
Figure 18 Digital Outputs - Scripts
To create Digital Output Scripts:
1. Use the drop-down menu to select the Digital Output Script slot, and assign a label.
2. Enter a script that should be executed when activated.
Valid commands for scripts are ‘echo’ and ‘nc’. The ‘+’ sign can be used for separating multiple
commands.

The echo command contains the body of the message. Proper usage is:
echo “Body_of_the_message”
Example: echo “activate cam_1”

The nc (netcat) command establishes the communications link. Proper usage is:
nc
Example: nc 192.168.1.100 23
Commands are often combined to create a relationship between a message and its destination. This can
be achieved through use of the ‘|’ (pipe).

The | (pipe) is used to pass one command into another. For example, I can pipe a message into its
destination.
Example: echo “activate cam_1” | nc 192.168.1.100 23
