Network Control of Switched PDU's

Has anyone controlled Switched PDU's via the network from a BSS BLU device, can the BLU send Telnet commands over ethernet ?

    A BLU device can send TCP or UDP messages containing any string you require. It cannot initiate a Telnet session, however I'm pretty sure that your switched PDU can respond to simple messages. Just use the Ethernet Trigger in the Logic Configuration.

    As always thanks for the prompt answers & information

    the unit I am hoping to use states \"Full-featured network management interfaces that provide standards-based management via Web, SNMP, and Telnet\"

    Hopefully I will be able to control it

    If you are using the ethernet trigger Object you can \"simulate\" browser requests.
    Chose destination port 80 and the ip adress of your device to control.
    Enter the URL to retrieve into the ethernet trigger object, then switch to hexadecimal view and add the hex values for cr/lf at the end (not shure, would have to look them up... you find it on the web...) and there you go.
    Some Webservers require 2 cr/lf at the end, try it. The result should (and will be) the same as if you put the url in your browser.
    I control my satelite receiver at home using the motion control app this way. :)

    I have just had to do this on a job using Audio Architect and can confirm the following works.
    Paste this as HEXIDECIMAL into the Ethernet trigger:
    47,45,54,20,2F,73,65,74,2E,73,68,74,6D,6C,3F,61,3D,32,26,72,3D,63,6F,6E,74,72,6F,6C,2E,73,68,74,6D,6C,26,44,69,73,70,54,65,78,74,3D,4F,30,31,49,34,D,A,48,6F,73,74,3A,20,31,30,2E,33,2E,32,2E,32,D,A,55,73,65,72,2D,41,67,65,6E,74,3A,20,62,73,73,6C,6F,6E,64,6F,6E,D,A,43,6F,6E,6E,65,63,74,69,6F,6E,3A,20,63,6C,6F,73,65,D,A,D,A

    Then switch the view to ASCII and you will see this:
    GET /set.shtml?a=2&r=control.shtml&DispText=O01I4
    Host: 10.3.2.2
    User-Agent: bsslondon
    Connection: close


    You can carefully edit each line, making sure not to remove any of the returns.
    The above sends a request for the following url:
    http://10.3.2.2/set.shtml?a=2&r=control.shtml&DispText=O01I4

    Hopefully this helps someone.
