| |
6.1 | 3 | ==== System Configuration ==== |
| 4 | |||
| 5 | Enable the TCP listener by specifying a port and the max connections via the console: | ||
| 6 | ##sr tcp enable (ListenPort) (MaxConnections)## | ||
| 7 | Example: | ||
| 8 | ##sr tcp enable 45794 20## | ||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | The TCP Listener may also be enabled by adding a snippet to the root of the config: | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | ## "TcpListener": | ||
| 13 | { | ||
| 14 | "ListenPort": 45794, | ||
| 15 | "MaxConnections": 20 | ||
| 16 | },## | ||

7.1 | 20 | ==== Global ID Action Command Format ==== |
| 21 | |||
| |
1.1 | 22 | Commands are sent to objects by GlobalId followed by the Action and then any relevant Properties (Properties are interpreted in the order shown). They are dot delimited and terminated with a carriage return. |
| 23 | Format: ##GlobalId.ActionName[.ActionPropertyValue]\x0D## | ||
| 24 | |||
| |
6.1 | 25 | To obtain a list of GlobalIds for objects use console command sr show global ids. Global Actions use a GlobalId of 0. |
| |
1.1 | 26 | |
| |
6.1 | 27 | To obtain a list of Actions available by object type use console command ##sr show actions.## |

| 51 | ==== Subscriptions ==== | ||
| 52 | |||
| |
2.1 | 53 | Subscriptions may be enabled for each action. When a subscription is requested the current state will be returned. Any future changes to the actions state will return the value until the subscription is canceled. A subscription request does not require parameters and does not execute the action. "+" is used to subscribe, "-" is used to unsubscribe. Subscriptions are tracked by connection. If a connection is lost a re-subscribe should take place on a new connection. |

| 66 | |||
| 67 | All response values are returned as numbers with 0 being false and 1 being true if the state is not a number. | ||
