I have a NI-4100 that controls a centralized Videoconference unit and matrix switcher. I have 6 room each with NI-4100s that request the use of the centralized Videoconf unit and have the to and from audio/video switched to it if it is not locked out by another room. The control works fine via RS422 comm from each unit, however I would like to see about switching to IP control between the units to free up a comm port for other devices. I understand I have to have each processor assigned a different system # but I am confused on the code setup to send and receive the strings via IP instead of Serial. Thanks

You can send and receive both COMMANDs and STRINGs on the virtual devices. You can also handle button_events and channel_events on the virtual devices, but make sure that you call tech support to verify the firmware you are running does not have problems with channel events on virtual devices.
Also, make sure that the URL listings are setup properly so that all of the masters are able to talk with each other.
Hope this helps,
Jeff
