To Send command on a connection, use a
Send=keyword
. The form is
Send=Command
. The Command is exactly
the message you want to send. You may use a combination of literal
characters and binary representations.
WhatsUp Gold understands the C0 set of ANSI
7-bit control characters. A Binary can be represented as
\x##
, where the ##
is a hexadecimal value. Those familiar with
the table may also choose to use shorthand such as \A (\x01)
or \W
(\x17)
You can also use \r
and \n
as the
conventions for sending the carriage return and line feed control
characters to terminate a line.
The following table shows the keywords you can use.

WhatsUp Gold versions 7 and 8 users: The %### decimal syntax for specifying binary octets has been replaced with the \x## hexidecimal syntax. Migrated definitions will be converted automatically.
