Password Protection
The LS10 may be protected from unauthorized access by setting a password under the System >
Access Control screen. There are two levels of password protection in the LS10, labeled as
NetCmd Password and Setup Password in the system access screen on the LS10.
NetCmd Password
The NetCmd Password is used to prevent unauthorized access to the LS10 through a network
connection. The NetCmd Password does not prevent access through the serial command.
Setup Password
The Setup Password prevents unauthorized access to the LS10 VNC GUI. This does not affect the
operator level commands that are used in this document.
Authentication Command
The AUTH command must be sent to the LS10 before sending a password protected command. If
this is not done, then the command results in no action and the LS10 returns the string “SECERR”.
Sending the correct password enables all network commands for the password level for as long as
the network connection is maintained.
Not all network commands require a password. Inquiry commands such as SYSTEM and
IDENTIFY will operate without a password.
Command Format
The general command format for all configuration commands is listed below:
@COMMAND [arg1] [arg2]<CR>
Each COMMAND and its arguments (arg1, arg2) are defined in this document. Whether or not
arg1 and/or arg2 are used depends on the command. Square brackets [] around the argument in
this document indicate that the argument is optional .
The command is terminated by a <CR>. The response returns ASCII text and is also terminated by
<CR> character at the end. The <CR> represents an ASCII character with the value 0x0D. How to
enter this character in the command is entirely dependant on the remote program or interface used.
On a terminal interface, it is added by pressing ENTER on the keyboard. In some GUI interfaces it
is represented by “\r”, and for XML it may be 
.
Important: If you are having problems with executing a simple command to the LS10,
check that the command string starts with ‘@’ and properly sends the carriage return
at the end.
Some commands are characterized as “Read” and are used only to read status or information from
the LS10. Commands that are “Read/Write” can be used to set the specific configuration item, or
just read it.
For “Read/Write” commands the last argument is the value to write to the configuration. Omit the
final argument in order to read the configuration item without changing it.
