PROGRAMG NOTES ETHERNET SETTGS Default TCP/IP - 9.68.0.85 port Communication with the MultiTasker is TCP/IP with limited support of UDP options. The MultiTasker defaults to DHCP mode and obtains an IP address automatically from the network server. It can also be configured to use a fixed IP address. UDP - The MultiTasker listens and broadcasts on UDP port 005. The UDP option is used for network discovery. Additionally, some commands are supported using the UDP option but without feedback. NETWORK DISCOVERY Find Enclosures - In order to find out the address assigned to enclosures on a network, broadcast the UDP discover command to the network on port 005. The discover command is as follows:?altinex Send?Altinex in a single packet. Do not type the characters individually or the command is ignored. Any MultiTaskers on the network respond with feedback similar to the following single line: [MT0 0,00:E:C0:C9:6A:4,000,9:68::,55:55:55;0:9:68::54] The data inside the brackets includes the enclosure alias, MAC address, and TCP/IP port, plus the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address assigned to the by the network. Use this information to establish a TCP/IP connection to the MultiTasker for control and/or configuration. LAN CONNECTION A computer or control system is used to control the cards in the MultiTasker. Connect to the RJ45 on the front or rear of the MultiTasker. WEBSERVER The MultiTasker includes an internal webserver. Use the webserver to find out information about the MultiTasker and the cards installed in the system. You can view the card models, see their functional description, and view their slot IDs. MultiTasker system statistics are also available. View system on time, card and system power consumption, internal temperatures, etc. POWER UP DEFAULTS At power up or soft reset [RES], all cards are initialized to their saved configuration states. Saved configurations include input to output connections, on/off settings, volume levels, relay positions, etc. In the event the cards have not been previously configured, they initialize to their factory defaults. FRONT PANEL DISPLAY The front panel displays the current IP address of the enclosure. Press the button to cycle through all the cards installed in the enclosure. This provides the card ID and model of each card to make identification possible without establishing a network connection. Altinex Inc. Copyright 06 www.altinex.com Call us: 74-990-00
PROGRAMG NOTES PROTOCOL The protocol for the MultiTasker uses a simple keyboard character format. Brackets Characters Square brackets "[ ]" are part of the command for the enclosure or plug-in card. All commands begin with an open [ bracket and end with a close ] bracket. Do not send carriage returns or line feeds; these characters are invalid. Only keyboard characters are accepted, and all letters are uppercase only. Cxx This term refers to a MultiTasker card where the ID number is -digits; "xx"; typically the slot number of the card; C0 through C0. Feedback Feedback refers to data that is received from the MultiTasker or any of the cards installed in the enclosure. All TCP/IP commands provide feedback either in the form of the data requested or as command acknowledgement. Control Command Feedback: Commands that are used to control the switcher provide the following feedback responses: [ ] [ER] [Cxx ] [ERCxx] Enclosure Enclosure Card Card Command executed Command error (bad format, out of range, etc.) Command executed Command error (bad format, out of range, etc.) CONTROL Controlling MultiTasker When controlling MultiTasker do not send carriage returns or line at the end of commands.
