EDO (External Data Output) is an user definable ASCII HEX protocol intended for CCTV control, making customised logs etc.

EDO ports can be configured as RS232 serial ports or TCP/IP ports. Up to four EDO ports can be defined. The EDO ports are configured from AlphaPro: Exchange & System -> Serial Ports.

EDO is controlled from the Event Handler where it can be configured to send free text merged with parameters for the active stations.

Syntax

EDO "free text"                      - sends free text on the EDO port 1
EDO 1 "free text"                    - sends free text on the EDO port 1
EDO 2 "Door A2 open\x0D\x0A"         - sends Door A2 open including CR + LF on the EDO port 2
EDO 3 "Door A2 opened by %1.dir\r\n" - sends Door A2 opened by 101 including CR + LF on the EDO port 3 when 
                                       station 101 presses "6" and activates the door opening event
EDO 4 "\x02free text\x03"            - sends <STX> + free text + <ETX> on the EDO port 4 
                                       (STX = ASCII hex 02 and ETX = ASCII hex 03)


The data protocol message $PUT can also be used to output data on EDO ports:

$PUT 3 "free text"  - sends free text on the EDO port 1
$PUT 4 "free text"  - sends free text on the EDO port 2
$PUT 5 "free text"  - sends free text on the EDO port 3
$PUT 6 "free text"  - sends free text on the EDO port 4

The $PUT command is useful when the EDO data should be routed in AlphaNet:

@2 $PUT 5 "my text"  - sends my text on EDO port 3 in node 2
