EDO - External Data Output
From Zenitel Wiki
EDO (External Data Output) is a user definable ASCII HEX protocol intended for CCTV control, making customized logs etc.
EDO ports can be configured as RS232 serial ports or TCP/IP ports. Up to ten 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
