USER MANUAL

12 TP-NET PROTOCOL INTRODUCTION

The TP-NET protocol lets a client device (control device) get and/or set the values of several parameters of the EclerNet compatible devices (MIMO and MIMO SG series digital matrices, DUO-NET PLAYER, NXA digital audio manager series, NZA amplifier series, NPA amplifier series, etc.), like volumes, mutes, alarms, etc. It's as well available for eMIMO1616 digital matrix, HUB series digital zoner, MIMO7272DN and MIMO4040CDN digital matrix.

The communication with these digital audio devices can be established using Ethernet and the UDP/IP transport protocol, always by means of the 5800 UDP port.

A second option for this communication is using the RS-232 interface that some of these compatible devices do also have (MIMO series, DUO-NET PLAYER, NXA series, etc.). In this case, the serial connection must fulfil the following specifications:

• Baud rate: 57600 (fixed, no autonegotiation) for all the devices, except for DUO-NET PLAYER, eMIMO1616, HUB series and MIMO4040CDN, which use 115200 baud rate)
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None

In case the Ecler device has an Euroblock connector for the RS-232 interface, the serial cable wiring, from the device's connector to a standard DB9 serial interface connector, must be the following:

WIRING RS232 – DB9
RS232	DB9
Tx	Pin 2 (RxD)
Rx	Pin 3 (TxD)
Gnd	Pin 5 (Signal Gnd)

The protocol is simple and direct, making it easy to read, write and modify the generated code. It is based on messages with no begin and end delimiter: each message is self-delimited by the UDP packet size, which is defined with a maximum of 80 characters. All the messages must be written in capital letters.

To let some control systems (like CRESTRON®, EXTRON®, AMX®, RTI®, VITY®, MEDIALON®, etc.) process the messages more easily, the EclerNet device adds the character LF (0x0A) to the end of each message. This way the client can buffer the

messages to process them, if it's required. The EclerNet device can also handle several messages received in a single message packet by using the LF delimiter.

The available messages are built with one or more fields separated with blank spaces ( = blank space):

<TYPE> [PARAM1] [PARAM2] [PARAM3] [PARAM4][LF] 

The first field (TYPE) defines the message type and then, the required parameters for it (each kind of message requires a given number of parameters). The field TYPE can have these values:

• SYSTEM
  • GET
• SET
  • INC
  • DEC
• SUBSCRIBE
• UNSUBSCRIBE
• DATA
• ERROR

At the end of this document, you'll find all the available messages and their parameters for each model of the EclerNet compatible devices.

The SYSTEM, GET, SET, INC, DEC, SUBSCRIBE & UNSUBSCRIBE messages can be sent from the client to the EclerNet device. The DATA & ERROR messages can be sent from the device to the client. The only exception is the SYSTEM PING message, that is a SYSTEM type message that is sent from the EclerNet device when the initial message from the client to the device was SYSTEM CONNECT PINGPONG.

The communication (using UDP or RS-232) starts when a client sends the message SYSTEM CONNECT to the EclerNet device. As far as the UDP communication requires no connection (unlike the TCP), the EclerNet device stores this client's IP address, and then uses it as the destination IP address for the messages that it generates (DATA & ERROR). After receiving the SYSTEM CONNECT message, the device dumps its entire configuration using several consecutive DATA messages.

Note: if the configuration data dump process (usually a huge list of parameters & values) wants to be avoided after a SYSTEM CONNECT message, a SYSTEM CONNECT ONCE message can be used instead.

The communication can be terminated by two methods:

• Manually: when the client sends the SYSTEM DISCONNECT message, cancelling all the subscriptions and stopping the DATA & ERROR messages
• Automatically: in case the initial message was SYSTEM CONNECT PINGPONG and the client didn't get any SYSTEM PONG message in a period longer than 10 seconds (presuming a communication breakdown)

The SET messages don't have an automatic acknowledgement with a DATA message sent from the EclerNet device after it has processed the SET command. The client must update the values itself and must send the needed GET message if it requires confirmation from the device.

NOTES:

• The numerical values are always integer numbers without +, -, comma or dot symbols.
• [PINGPONG] is an optional parameter used to configure the device-client communication with a periodical check, to see whether the client or the device have terminated it. When configured this way, the device sends a SYSTEM PING once per second, and the client must answer with a SYSTEM PONG message. If anyone doesn't get these messages along a 10 seconds period, the communication will be considered terminated.
• [ONCE] is an optional parameter used to start the device-client communication without a full data dump process (usually a huge list of parameters & values).
• &
  are numerical values that identify an input or output channel of the EclerNet device. It can be within a [1...40] range for MIMO4040CDN
• is a numerical value that identifies one available Preset stored in the EclerNet device's memory.
• ,

   y  are numerical values in the [0..100] range that define values in a scale equivalent to [-inf..0] dB   

• & are numerical values. For the MIMO4040CDN GPI and GPO values can be within [1..8].
• is a numerical value within the [0..100] range that indicates the value of an analogue GPI input. For a digital input only 0 or 100 are the possible values.
• is a numerical value within the [0..1] range: it can only be 0 or 1 (opened or closed GPO).

• is a numerical value within the [1..10] range that sets the VU-meter refresh rate, or the number of times the vumeters' values are sent per second (by default = 3).

• "" is the device name inside double quotation marks, to allow for names with blank spaces.

• is a numerical value for an error code.
• "" is a text chain inside double quotation marks, containing an error description.
• is a numerical value that identifies a Virtual Control in a MIMO4040CDN model, it can be within a [1..80] range.

13 MIMO4040CDN DIGITAL MATRIX

IMPORTANT NOTE: The communication must be started with the client sending the first message SYSTEM CONNECT or SYSTEM CONNECT ONCE to the EclerNet device. Otherwise, the commands from the client to the EclerNet device will be ignored. See TP-NET PROTOCOL INTRODUCTION chapter for additional information.

TYPE	PARAM1	PARAM2	PARAM3	PARAM4	DESCRIPTION
SYSTEM	CONNECT	[MASTER]	[PINGPONG]	[ONCE]	MASTER: this parameter, applied in SYSTEM CONNECT, is used to disconnect all clients currently connected to the device, releasing all open and not correctly closed connections, opening a new connection. In this way we guarantee that the client that has set the MASTER option is the only one connected by TP-NET to the device.PINGPONG: this parameter can be used with the MASTER parameter, the difference is that this parameter performs a periodic check to see if the communication is still open (PING PONG) or if after 10 seconds with no response, the communication has ended (PING).ONCE: this parameter is used to prevent the device status dump.
	DISCONNECT				Cancel subscriptions and terminates communication
	SUBSCRIPTION_RATE				Alive message from device
	PING				Alive message from device
