Remote Settings (manual)

Using this context-sensitive dialog, Remote Control’s parameters can be set manually.

Remote settings (manual) dialog:

This dialog is context sensitive.

If RS-232 is being used, the following items are displayed:

If IP is being used, the following fields are displayed:

•	Add (this is only visible if UDP scan is disabled)

•	Delete (this is only visible if UDP scan is disabled)

Note:

By default, the Remote Control program ‘scans’ the LAN (using a ‘UDP-identify’ broadcast) at Start up for any codecs - provided IP control is used. However, this scan can be disabled using a Registry entry. The list of available codecs can be increased or decreased with ‘Add ’ or ‘Delete ’.

You can select either of the two remote control ‘interfaces’:

RS232 Control

If no codecs were detected by the Com port scan initiated when the Remote Control program starts, you can select an alternative Com port with this dialog.

Note:

The number of ‘available’ Com ports to be scanned can be set using the dialog Expert/Options.

The control baud rate can only be changed if RS-232 control was active before the dialog was opened!

The baud rate can be set to any of the following values:

If the baud rate is changed, and the change is confirmed by clicking OK on the dialog, the gets re-booted. [This is necessary to make the ‘Remote’ baud rate change valid!]

The default Baud Rate is 38,400 - recommended as a good compromise between speed and reliability. Nevertheless, any firmware updates uploaded using the Com Port (Expert/Update via RS232) will be accomplished faster using the higher speed settings.

IP Control

can (also) be controlled using IP, using Port 2000 by default.

If you wish to use IP control, you must first assign a unique IP address to the codec (see Settings/Network). But note that the must be accessible on the network used by the controlling PC (you can check this by PINGing the allocated address from the PC running the program).

Some steps to follow, to ensure ‘successful’ Remote Control of using IP:

•	Connect to the network using its Ethernet (RJ45) interface

•	Assign a unique IP address to the - preferably one on your network!!

•

Decide if the changes to the remote will become valid ‘now’ or ‘At Next Start’ of the . This selection is only available if IP control was valid before the dialog was opened. If ’At Next Start’ is selected, you can have multiple control sessions with different s, each one having a different IP address.
