4.15. SNMP Manager Control
The IPC-16-R allows for management via SNMP. The private MIB is available from the Dataprobe Web Site at:
http://dataprobe.com/support_rss-series.html
MIB Outline and MIB Definitions can be found in Section 7
4.16. Escape Sequence Control
The IPC-16-R can be controlled via command line messages sent either over the serial port or using TCP
messaging over the Ethernet port. This allows streamlined communication between the IPC-16-R and network
management systems or computer based monitor and control systems. Programming support is available.

4.16.1. Making Connection via Ethernet and Serial
The IPC-16-R uses the TCP (Transport Communication Protocol) to communicate with the client PC. To use
the IPC-16-R , establish a TCP connection (Stream Socket) to the IPC-16-R. Be sure to use the Port assigned
to the IPC-16-R , either Port 9100 or the port assigned through the Setup Menus. Once connected use the
Send() function to send the commands to the IPC-16-R and the Recv() function to receive the IPC-16-
R ’s
response.
For the serial port of the IPC-16-R, connection via the serial port requires only setting the computer to the proper
baud rate and character format.
4.16.2. Command Syntax
<^a><^b>
Where: esc = The ASCII escape character (0x1b)
password = The IPC-16-R password in ASCII (case sensitive)
^a = The ASCII control 'a' character (0x01)
card = The number of the card to be changed, with or with out leading 0's (a or A = all)\
^b = The ASCII control 'b' character (0x02)
command = The command to be executed:
a or A - Switch selected card to A
b or B - Switch selected card to B
q or Q - Display the status of the selected card
cr = The ASCII Carriage Return (0x0d)
The < and > in the syntax above are only to delineate the control characters and should not be sent.
Example: To switch card 7 to B send PASS<^a>7<^b>B
4.16.3. Response Syntax
The syntax for the command response is.
Example: 01A
card
= The number of the card.
status = The status of the card either A, or B.
cr = The ASCII carriage return character
