DMP 128 Plus-initiated Messages
The DMP 128 Plus initiates messages under specific conditions. No response is required for
the host. The DMP 128 Plus-initiated messages are listed below.
Copyright Message
The DMP 128 Plus initiates the following copyright message when it is first powered on or
when a connection via IP is established:
(c) Copyright 2016—2017, Extron Electronics, DMP 128 Plus {model}, Vn.nn,
60-nnnn-nn]
Day, DD MMM YYYY HH:MM:SS]
• Vn.nn is the firmware version number.
• {model} is the full model name. DMP 128 Plus C, for example.
• 60-nnnn-nn is the DMP 128 Plus part number.
The DMP 128 Plus sends the boot and copyright messages under the following
circumstances:
• If the DMP 128 Plus is off and RS-232 connection is already set up (the PC is cabled to
the DMP 128 Plus and a serial communication program such as DataViewer is open),
the connected unit sends these messages via RS-232 when first powered on.
• The DMP 128 Plus sends the boot and copyright messages when a Telnet connection
to the DMP 128 Plus is opened via Telnet, but not via RS-232. If using a Telnet
connection, the copyright message, date, and time may be followed by a password
prompt.
Password Prompt
The ]Password prompt requires an administrator or user password followed by a carriage
return. The prompt is repeated if the incorrect password is entered.
If the correct password is entered, the unit responds with ]Login Administrator] or
]Login User] depending on the password entered. If passwords are the same for both
administrator and user, the unit will default to administrator privileges.
