Question:
Is it possible to Reset or reboot a system master from Netlinx Code?
Answer:
Yes.
The syntax is: REBOOT(0)
In this example, 0 is the device you want to reboot. Some early AMX documentation references a keyword SYSTEM_RESET. This is incorrect. REBOOT(d:p:s) is the correct command. However, it does not highlight as a keyword in NetLinx Studio as it should at the time of this TechNote. But, it does work! The Help and highlighting will be corrected in a future version.
To build a system reset button on a touch panel the code would be as follows:
DEFINE_EVENT
BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP,1] (*SYSTEM RESET BUTTON*)
{
PUSH:
{
REBOOT(0) //In this instance when you use “0", 0:1:0 is assumed
}
}
This keyword works only on NetLinx controllers, not Axcess controllers.
NOTE: This keyword can be used to reboot any device that supports being rebooted by the controller. You could reboot a touchpanel also with REBOOT(10001:1:0) or REBOOT(dvTP)
