Chapter 5: Using the Command Line Interface
Setting an LED Mode for a Rack Unit
This command syntax sets the LED mode for a specific rack unit on the
specified asset strip. You need to set a rack unit's LED mode only when
the LED operation mode of this rack unit has been set to "manual."
rackUnit <n> <rack_unit> LEDMode <mode>
Variables:
• <n> is the number of the FEATURE port where the selected asset
strip is physically connected. For the BCM2 device with only one
FEATURE port, the number is always 1.
• <rack_unit> is the index number of the desired rack unit. The index
number is available on the asset strip or the Asset Strip page of the
web interface.
• <mode> is one of the LED modes:
on
,
off
,
blinkSlow
or
blinkFast
.
on This mode has the LED stay lit permanently.
off This mode has the LED stay off permanently.
blinkSlow This mode has the LED blink slowly.
blinkFast This mode has the LED blink quickly.
Examples
This section illustrates several asset management examples.
Example 1 - Asset Strip LED Colors for Disconnected Tags
This command syntax sets the LED color for all rack units on the asset
sensor #1 to BLACK (that is, 000000) to indicate the absence of a
connected asset tag.
assetStrip 1 LEDColorForDisconnectedTags #000000
Note: Black color causes the LEDs to stay off.
