Advanced Operation:

SM3-PRO provides a built-in HTTP (web page server at default port 80) which can

be accessed via a typical “web page browser” allowing the user to conﬁgure the

network settings.

• DHCP or static IP address assignment

• IP address

• Subnet mask

• Gateway Address

• DNS server Address 1

Example Event Message

Event message for outlet bank 2 switched ON

<?xml version=”1.0” ?>

</settings>

</event>

</device>

On start-up, SM3-PRO will use two IP addresses on its Ethernet connection:

1. A random link-local address can be discovered by link-local utilities such as the

Bonjour zero-conﬁguration networking utility by Apple.

2. A local network address, either statically assigned, or from DHCP. If the

address was assigned by DHCP it can be discovered by inspection of your

router’s connected devices table.

In addition to providing external access and control via Panamax/Furman’s hosted

BlueBOLT platform, SM3-PRO may also be interfaced to control and automation

systems on the local area network. Command, information and event messages

are provided in standard XML format over UDP port 57010.

Example Command Message

Command to switch outlet bank 2 OFF

<?xml version=”1.0” ?>

</command>

</device>

Example Information Message

Snippet of the response to <sendinfo> query

<?xml version=”1.0” ?>

</info>

</device>

GENERAL

All messages are encapsulated in standard XML format. As per XML standard, It is required that the XML version declaration be included at the start of each message.

Messages that do not conform to the standard will be ignored. In addition to the XML version declaration, every message must also specify the type of device (model)

and its unique MAC ID (mac) in its root element using the <device> tag. For SM3-PRO, device class is “sm3” and the MAC is expressed with no formatting. An example

message would thus look like:

<?xml version=”1.0” ?><device class=”sm3” id=”1065a3040000”>…</device>

This would be considered the “envelope” for all messages, where the “…” is to be considered the content of the message.

There are three types of messages: event messages, information messages and command messages.

Event messages are sent in response to a change of device status or settings. It should be noted that events are not sent in reply to a query.

Command messages are set to the SM3-PRO to query information, change settings or initiate an action.

Information messages are sent from SM3-PRO in response to a query command.

In messages that contain timestamps, the timestamp will be expressed in standard UNIX time. UNIX time is expressed with up to a 10 decimal digit characters that

represents the number of seconds that have passed since January 1st 1970 GMT.

Examples of the message format are provided in the table below.
