NetLinx Programming
Overview
This chapter defines all programming commands and system responses available for the ACR-5100 Acendo Core Meeting
Collaboration System.
Device Ports:
The following table details the device ports on an Acendo Core system:
NetLinx Commands
The following list of commands may all be executed using the NetLinx SEND_COMMAND command. Commands with AUTOSTART
in the description fields will execute whether Acendo is in an active session or not. Issuing this command will automatically start a
session and launch the command.
Port Name Description
1 Acendo Core API exposed on this device port controls the core Acendo Core platform, settings, and Acendo Core
operating environment.
2 Virtual Keypad API exposed on this device port controls/interacts with the Virtual Keypad implementation built
into Acendo Core's user interface.
3 Serial (RS-232) API exposed on this device port controls/interacts with the serial port (RS-232) on the rear panel
of the Acendo Core hardware. Port 3 of the Acendo Core ICSP device is used for communication
and configuration of Acendo Core's serial port from a connected NetLinx master.
Note: As a best practice the baud rate for the serial port should be set when Acendo Core comes
online.
