Use Quasar hot keys to control 25/Seven PDM

Scope

This document applies to the Quasar consoles and any 25/Seven Program Delay Manager (PDM) models

Description

The Quasar MTS module provides a “Hotkeys” page that can be used to send simple TCP commands to various devices.

The 25/Seven PDM can be controlled by when it received properly formatted TCP commands.

With this in mind, it is possible to utilize the Quasar hotkeys to command the PDM to Exit, Build or Dump its delay buffer

Step by Step

Ensure that the control port is enabled in the PDM.

  1. Go into the web gui of the PDM, go to the Configuration page, and check the box next to “Control Via net port 5443”

Example from PDMx web gui

  4. Set the commands per each hotkey

Using the example below, by sending trigger commands you can get it to dump, build and exit the delay
