Campinas, 09/14/18 - LNLS/CNPEM Version 1.0 Tested with Moxa NPort device (RS232 to Ethernet port conversor)
Author: Allan S. B. Bugyi ([email protected])
To establish communication with N-Helix you first need to run the following command: 'caput OXCS_NHELIX:DISABLE 0' This will also enable sending commands to N-Helix. To disable communication and sending commands just change value '0' in above command to '1'.

The docs for Ethernet interface communication is under 'docs/' dir.
The protocol file under 'proto/' dir, communicates with N-Helix in a serial fashion (RS232). It was used a conversor to Ethernet port, for network publishing purposes. Ethernet interface communication not implemented but feasible.
