NetAdminWorld - Usage

All communication with NetAdminWorld is done via a TCP session on port 27183 from localhost. The connections are limited to just one, so if you bind your management system to the port from localhost, the system is fairly secure. Each set of displays is grouped together numbered from 1 to 14. g05 is the fifth group down on the left. r designates the 5 rows of text on the left of the group, t designates the labels below the seven-segment displays, and s designates the seven segment displays. A 16 puts an L on the seven-segment display, and a 17 puts an H on the display. 10-15 give the hex codes a-f. The complete list for group 01, displaying "1" with the first row, label, and seven-segment would be: g01r11, g01t11, g01s11. The command is terminated with "..". For instance, you can display an F on the upper left display by telnetting to localhost port 27183 and entering g01s115.. (two dots after 15). Font size can be adusted with fonts, and Font type can be adusted with fontt.

The LED's have four states. Off=0, On=1, Slow Blink=2, and Fast Blink=3. The LED's are designated by led, with the top left being 01, and the bottom right being LED 14. To make the fourth LED down on the left blink slow, enter the command led042.. (two dots after 42). The two entries at the bottom are controlled with the commands lbank and rbank.

The program acknowledges a successful command by replying with OK. If you submit a bad command, though, the program simply kills the connection.
