Ethernet Control - SocketConnection Error

brandonskeller

I am attempting to control a PureLink Audio/Video switcher via ethernet using AMX's PureLink module. I have successfully done this with an NI4100 in a similar system. The major difference in this second system is that the controller is four cardframes (only one master).

The virtual device never comes online and the following is shown in the diagnostic window every time I "REINIT" the virtual device:
Line 110 (17:51:02):: SocketConnection: ERROR - createSocket: IO exception
Line 111 (17:51:02):: SocketConnection: ERROR - createSocket: socket create failed


I can ping & access the video switch via browser, so I can rule out network issues. Is there something I am missing in terms of the difference between the NI4100 ethernet addressing vs. using cardframes? Lost in the sauce here...

Here is the master device:

DEVICE DEFINITIONS:
=====================
dvVIDEO_SWITCH = 0:3:0
vdvVIDEO_SWITCH = 41001:1:0


SETUP IP ADDRESS & REINIT:
I have this in DEFINE_START and on the virtual device online statement
=====================================================
SEND_COMMAND vdvVIDEO_SWITCH, "'PROPERTY-IP_Address,192.168.1.9'"
SEND_COMMAND vdvVIDEO_SWITCH, "'REINIT'"

Rule out network issues:

Not so fast... Can you ping the device from the Netlinx Master itself? Pinging it from your computer proves nothing.

To do so, telnet into the master and use the Ping command. See if you make a connection.
