SC-4 Test Utility Commands

• Type ‘getpid’ followed by the panel number you wish to query, then press RETURN. Example: “getpid 27”. This command will display the panel’s current ID. It may be helpful to send a ‘getpid’ to a panel that you know is functioning correctly with U-CON V4 in order to see what the format looks like. A typical correct response will be:

“test> Panel 71 ID: DEMOROOM-XY    UCP-XY “                                  

This response shows that panel number 71 is set to ID “DEMOROOM-XY” and that its type is “UCP-XY”. The panel type is very critical, because if it does not match a predetermined panel type, UCON will not know its layout, and will not be able to complete the programming. The following are allowable panel types:

• SCP-XY/16

• SCP-SX/16        

• SCP-MX/16        

• SCP-2                

• SCP-32

• SCP-64/8

• SCP-SD16

• UCP-XY

• UCP-36

• UCP-48

• UCP-64

• UCP-72

• UCP-128

• UCP-48

• UCP-2

• UCP-MX

• UCP-SX

• UCP-1

• UCP-MMA

• UCP-MMB

• UCP-DTB

• UCP-DTA

• UCP-32

• The above are all case sensitive.

• To set the panel id, use the ‘setpid’ command in this format –

• setpid <node number> <ID – user definable> <panel type>. An example of this is – setpid 71 DEMOROOM1-XY UCP-XY.
• The name and panel type cannot contain any spaces but may contain hyphens and underscores. The panel type must be typed exactly as seen above.
• It is prudent to do a ‘getpid’ of this panel after you set it to make sure the information was updated correctly.

• After you have set and verified the ID in the panel, additional steps are required for panel recognition within U-CON V4.
