Enable or disable the verbose mode via this
command. For
X2@
:
0 = clear/none, default for Telnet connections;
responses are not echoed to the host
1 = verbose mode is on, default for RS-232
host control; responses are echoed to the
host and displayed to the user
2 = send tagged responses for queries
3 = verbose mode is on and tagged
responses are sent for queries.
N
If tagged responses are enabled, all read commands return the constant string + data, the same as for setting a value.
For example, for
E

, the response is Ipn•

rather than just the data.
N
Verbose mode is a communication mode in which the device responds with more information than it usually would—more than the device, itself, requires. For example, the controller
can send out unsolicited information (such as notice of a volume or input change or a change in some other setting). That is an example of a verbose (wordy) relationship between the
controller and a connected device. Verbose mode creates more network traffic than usual, which can slow down network performance.
Verbose mode is usually enabled for troubleshooting and disabled for daily use.
For a direct RS-232 connection, the controller is set for verbose mode by default.
When the IPL T S device is connected via Ethernet, verbose mode is disabled (by default) in order to reduce the amount of communication traffic on the network.
If you want to use the verbose mode with a controller connected via Ethernet, this mode must be set to “on” each time you reconnect to the controller.

This command details how often and
to what subnet work the IPL T S unit
broadcasts a message.
X6$
= Broadcast repetition interval
in seconds (0 to 255 [4.25 minutes],
default = 0 = off).
X1$
= IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). Leading
zeros in each of four fields are optional in
setting values, and they are suppressed in
returned values.
Default broadcast address: 255.255.255.255.
