Reboot VM201 with TCP command, because web server is crashed

Modules VM201

Hi there

Is it possible to reboot the Velleman VM201 relais board over a TCP connection, instead of a HTTP one?

I need to know that because the web server is crashed, and we can’t do a power cycle because it’s not on our building - it’s a customer system…

Thank you very much for your feedbacks.

With best regards,
Jan

When i look into the Delphi API file, i can’t see a reboot command - maybe it’s not documented?

  VM201_CMD_AUTH_REQUIRED  = $41; // 'A'
  VM201_CMD_USERNAME       = $55; // 'U'
  VM201_CMD_PASSWORD       = $57; // 'W'
  VM201_CMD_AUTH_OK        = $4C; // 'L'
  VM201_CMD_AUTH_FAILED    = $58; // 'X'
  VM201_CMD_CLOSING        = $43; // 'C'
  VM201_CMD_CHANNEL_NAME   = $4E; // 'N'
  VM201_CMD_STATUS_REQUEST = $52; // 'R'
  VM201_CMD_STATUS         = $53; // 'S'
  VM201_CMD_SWITCH_ON      = $4F; // 'O'
  VM201_CMD_SWITCH_OFF     = $46; // 'F'
  VM201_CMD_TOGGLE         = $54; // 'T'
  VM201_CMD_PULSE          = $50; // 'P'
  VM201_CMD_ENABLE_TIMER   = $45; // 'E'
  VM201_CMD_DISABLE_TIMER  = $44; // 'D'
  VM201_CMD_TOGGLE_TIMER   = $47; // 'G'
  VM201_CMD_FORCE_STATUS   = $56; // 'V'

?

-> Why the last command described in the Velleman VM201 TCP API manual (http://velleman.co.uk/manuals/vm201.pdf) is "Status (0x53) ?

So that commands are available or not?

VM201_CMD_SWITCH_ON      = $4F; // 'O'
  VM201_CMD_SWITCH_OFF     = $46; // 'F'
  VM201_CMD_TOGGLE         = $54; // 'T'
  VM201_CMD_PULSE          = $50; // 'P'
  VM201_CMD_ENABLE_TIMER   = $45; // 'E'
  VM201_CMD_DISABLE_TIMER  = $44; // 'D'
  VM201_CMD_TOGGLE_TIMER   = $47; // 'G'
  VM201_CMD_FORCE_STATUS   = $56; // 'V'

Don’t really unterstand… maybe that Delphi API is not for the VM201, but its name is “VM201.pas”. (?)
