Ip control of Optima projector

davidv

I need to control my Optima projector. I have the RS232 codes but Im not sure how to communicate with the device through Netlinks.

How do tell my controller to look for the ip address? so I can send my commands

The last one I did, the RS-232 protocol worked, I just used the IP connection instead of the RS-232 port. That was a few years ago, so your mileage may vary.

You have to use IP_CLIENT_OPEN to connect to it, and you should probably put something in there to re-connect if it drops for any reason. Once open, send your commands to the device the same as 232.

My bad, it was a Proxima I had done. It may still work that way though, worth a try. You can test by just opening a Telnet session to it and sending one of the RS-232 strings and see what happens.

IP_CLIENT_OPEN

So how would I do the ip client open?

And how does the ip device know to route it to the projector?

When you got your ACE qualification did they tell you how to use the help in Netlinx studio?


SLONG IP_CLIENT_OPEN

(INTEGER LocalPort,

CHAR ServerAddress[ ],

LONG ServerPort,

INTEGER Protocol)

There's a hint! (ServerAddress)

Netlinks

Haha yes they did but I havnt programmed a system in over 3 years. I have a day to refresh my memory.

Hmm, seeing as you have access to the ACE section of the forums and I don't after six years working with the gear on a daily basis, maybe start looking there.

Sorry, not helpful I know.

I dont understand why you even presented a reply this way. I used to work programming systems years ago then moved into a different field. In order to get ACE certified you just have to sign up and take a class. Maybe you should start looking there.

Well no...

see, we have to continue to keep creds up. We have to recertify each year. That has been a rather hot topic of late. That's why the increduliaty. If you haven't taken any recertification exams/tests/etc.. then you're not supposed to be A.C.E. That's not saying you cannot program and work. There are plenty here who chose not to go down the recert path. It may effect how your dealership is viewed by AMX.
