The Panamax/Furamn Power Conditioner devices actually support 3 different protocols:
| Interface | Supported? | Interface Card |
|---|---|---|
| telnet | Y | BlueBOLT-CV1 or BlueBOLT-CV2 |
| HTTP | N | BlueBOLT-CV1 or BlueBOLT-CV2 |
| RS-232 | N * | Bluebolt RS 232 |
| *While the RS-232 interface is not currently supported, it should be trivial to implement given the similarities to the Telnet inteface |
The Telnet interface was chosen for implementation due to the following:
- Telnet interface supports "push" notifications from the device which provide instant and more reliable status information as opposed to repetitive polling of state as required by the HTTP interface
- The telnet API is very similar to the RS-232 API so by implmenting the telnet interface, most of the work is already done for RS-232
