To set the address to a static IP address, follow this example:
set eth_settings 1 “mode='static',addr='172.22.2.110',dns='172.22.1.1
172.22.1.2', gw='172.22.2.254',nm='255.255.255.0'"
All the arguments to the eth_settings command must be specified when the
mode is set to ‘static’.
Setting The Time Server
To set the time server, use the command ntp_server as shown in the example
below:
set dev_ntp_server 1 “pool.ntp.org”
val dev_ntp_server 1 “pool.ntp.org”
where 1 is the device ID of the SoundStructure. See Appendix A for more
information on API commands associated with the Ethernet interface.
Control And Command Sessions
SoundStructure systems are controlled and configured with the SoundStruc-
ture API command set via a communication to port 52774.
The number of active TCP control sessions on port 52774 is unlimited subject
to network bandwidth to access the device.
The following figure shows the initiation of a TCP/IP connection to a Sound-
Structure device at address 172.22.2.110 and port 52774 using a third party
terminal program.
Once the control session has been initiated, commands may be sent to the
device and command acknowledgements received as shown in the following
figure where a mute command is sent to the virtual channel group “Mics”.
set mute “Mics” 0
