CHAPTER 11

IP, Telnet and HTTP Command Control

The unit can be driven entirely from a control system. The syntax is deliberately small: read a value, or write one.

The DR HDMI 8K can be fully controlled via IP, Telnet or HTTP commands. This is the path to use from a control system, a home-automation processor or a script.

Connection

The default IP port is 2201, so the target is of the form 192.168.1.100:2201. Use lowercase characters only.

When using IP, each command must end with a carriage return \r or a newline \n. Each response has both a carriage return and a newline added, in the format <cr><lf>.

Command syntax

Writing a value

set x y — set indicates a value will be written to the unit, x is the target to be written, and y is the value or values.

Reading a value

get x — get indicates a value will be read from the unit, and x is the target to be read.

The command list

The full command list is included as a text file in every firmware package. Use the list that ships with the package matching the firmware currently on your unit, because commands can be added between revisions.

Pro tip: some control systems, iRule among them, need \x0D instead of \r (and \x0A instead of \n) to terminate the command string.

The IP port itself can be changed on the CONFIG page, and IP interrupts can be enabled there for control systems that require them.
