TCP & UPD Control

Configuration

Go to the Settngs menu and choose the Comm tab.

TCP Listen

This field contains all the ip addresses and ports the TCP command module will be listening to, each line represents an ethernet IP followed by a port, separated by a colon :.

Use an asterisk * as a wildcard to specify all Ips in the host.

Examples:

  • Listen to adapter with IP 192.168.1.229 on port 7000: 192.168.1.229:7000

  • Listen to all local adapters on port 2500: *:2500

TCP

Once configured, Exaplay can be controlled via TCP, and can send commands via TCP as well.

TCP IN (Receive)

Exaplay will listen for TCP text line messages, ending with a CR. The return messages are sent ending with CRLF.

Each section of the message, as well as the parameters, should be separated by commas ,. The main format structure should be as follows:
