wct - Man Page

N

Set destination IP and MAC addresses to THIS computer.

X

Show unit#, serial#, network settings. This command can be used to discover all powered-on WC devices. It is the same as runnning wct with the --discover command line option.

Z

Reset unit# to '123' and network settings to factory defaults; does NOT change: toggles, block/pass numbers in memory, date/time or the device's starting line#. See also "Other ways to reset a device" on the last page of this manual.

Settings changed by this command will not be reflected under the 'select' menu until the next time you do an 'X' to discover all available devices.

-@

Causes a device to respond with "#" sign. Can be used for establishing device communication.

-J

Show contents of block/pass numbers stored in memory. Be sure to first set the verbose level to 4 or greater to see the actual numbers.

-R

Perform power-on reset and sets all toggles to uppercase. Leaves network configuration and block/pass memory and the device's starting line# unchanged. See also "Other ways to reset a device" on the last page of this manual.

-t

Where 't' is any single toggle, case sensitive (e.g., -E, -b).

Uppercase usually means the feature/setting is OFF, lowercase means it is ON.

 E, e   Command echo
 C, c   Leading '$' and dashes in numbers (wc2ncid and wct
        always strip both)
 X, x   Comprehensive (X) or limited (x) data format
 U, u   Use phone numbers in internal block/pass memory
 D, d   Detail information (rings, hook on/off/flash)
 A, a   Data sent at start AND end of a call
 S, s   See below
 O, o   Only inbound (O) calls reported, or inbound and
        outbound (o)
 B, b   Suppress first ring (B) or always pass through (b)
 K, k   See below
 T, t   Inbound DTMF monitoring

 The 'U' and 'A' toggles each have a companion toggle as
 described below.

 If 'U' is set, blocking/passing is turned OFF and toggles
 'K' and 'k' are ignored.

 If 'u' is set, blocking/passing is turned ON. The toggle 'K'
 will pass all calls by default (i.e., only the phone numbers
 in the internal memory will be blocked) and 'k' will block
 all calls by default (i.e., only the phone numbers in the
 internal memory will be passed through).

 If 'A' is set, data is sent at the start AND end of a call
 and toggles 'S' and 's' are ignored.

 If 'a' is set, data is sent only at start(S) or end(s) of a
 call.

-V

Show processor version, all toggles, line# of channel 1, date, time.

-v

Show internal jumper settings.

Numbers in parentheses () indicate required number of hex digits.

Commands I, T and U are typically the only ones that will be used.

Hex digits A - F may be entered in lowercase or uppercase.

Chhhhhhhhhhhh

Set destination MAC address (12) of the computer to receive WC data (use all 'F's for entire LAN).

Dhhhhhhhh

Set destination IP address (8) of the computer to receive WC data (use all 'F's for entire LAN).

Ihhhhhhhh

Set device IP address (8).

Changing the IP address will not be reflected under the 'select' menu until the next time you do an 'X' to discover all available devices.

Mhhhhhhhhhhhh

Set device MAC address (12).

Changing the MAC address will not be reflected under the 'select' menu until the next time you do an 'X' to discover all available devices.

Phhhh

Set destination port number (4 hex digits) of the computer to receive WC data. This is normally 0DC0, or 3520 in decimal.

It is very rare that this command would be used. You most likely would want to use 'Thhhh' instead.

Thhhh

Set device port number (4 hex digits). This is normally 0DC0, or 3520 in decimal.

Changing the port number will not be reflected under the 'select' menu until the next time you do an 'X' to discover all available devices.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh

Set unit number (12).

Changing the unit number will not be reflected under the 'select' menu until the next time you do an 'X' to discover all available devices.

Note that wc2ncid will change and use the unit number to track the number of telephone lines (2, 4, or 8) that can be connected to the device. This is used when establishing the starting line# of channel#1, i.e., the "L=xx" parameter seen when executing the '-V' command.

Normally these require a terminating carriage return character, but the wct script takes care of this for you by sending a terminating carriage return after all commands.

-Nnnnnnnnnnnnn

Add a 7 to 12 digit phone number to block/pass memory, maximum of 40 phone numbers.

The WC device will not check to see if the number you're adding is already stored in memory. It lets you add duplicates.

If the memory becomes full, additional numbers will be silently ignored.

-N66

Add Out-of-area callers to block/pass memory. '-J' command will list as the letter 'O' ("oh") and not '66'. This counts against the maximum of 40 phone numbers.

-N77

Add Private callers to block/pass memory. '-J' command will list as the letter 'P' and not '77'. This counts against the maximum of 40 phone numbers.

-N00000077nn

Special undocumented command to set line# of channel#1 instead of using the 'Line No. Select' button on back of the device. And unlike the 'Line No. Select' button, you're not restricted to increments of four. 'nn' is base 16 but accepts digits only (no letters 'A' to 'F'). For example, '-N0000007710' sets line# to '16' not '10'.

The echo toggle ('E') must be OFF for this setting to be saved in the device's memory.

You should wait at least 9 seconds after sending this command before sending the next one. Otherwise, the next command sent may be ignored.

Unlike the other uses of '-N', this special command does not affect the internal block/pass memory.

-Wnn

If toggle 'u' is set, block or pass the real-time inbound call on logical line 'nn'. Note that this is NOT the physical channel# that a phone line is hooked into.

-Zmmddhhmm

Manually set date and time (24 hour format). Normally the date and time are set automatically by the first incoming ring.

The download section at CallerID.com has a Windows program called "EL Config". To use wct to emulate the EL Config reset options, do the following commands:

Config->Reset Unit Defaults

    -N0000007701
    -R

Config->Reset Ethernet Defaults

    DFFFFFFFF
    U000000000001
    IC0A8005A
    CFFFFFFFFFFFF
    T0DC0
