PROGRAMING NOTES
ETHERNET SETTINGS
Default TCP/IP
- 192.168.10.85 port 23
Communication with the MultiTasker is TCP/IP with limited support of UDP options.
The MultiTasker defaults to DHCP mode and obtains an IP address automatically from the network server. It can
also be configured to use a fixed IP address.
- The MultiTasker listens and broadcasts on UDP port 30305.
The UDP option is used for network discovery. Additionally, some commands are supported using the UDP
option but without feedback.
UDP
NETWORK DISCOVERY
- In order to find out the address assigned to enclosures on a network, broadcast the UDP
discover command to the network on port 30305. The discover command is as follows:
?Altinex
Send “?Altinex” in a single packet. Do not type the characters individually or the command is ignored.
Any MultiTaskers on the network respond with feedback similar to the following single line:
[MT302 201,00:1E:C0:C9:6A:24,00023,192:168:1:121,255:255:255;0:192:168:1:254]
The data inside the brackets includes the enclosure alias, MAC address, and TCP/IP port, plus the IP address,
subnet mask, and gateway address assigned to the by the network.
Use this information to establish a TCP/IP connection to the MultiTasker for control and/or configuration.
Find Enclosures
LAN CONNECTION
A computer or control system is used to control the cards in the MultiTasker. Connect to the RJ45 on the front
or rear of the MultiTasker.
WEBSERVER
POWER UP DEFAULTS
FRONT PANEL DISPLAY
The MultiTasker includes an internal webserver. Use the webserver to find out information about the MultiTasker
and the cards installed in the system. You can view the card models, see their functional description, and view
their slot IDs.
MultiTasker system statistics are also available. View system on time, card and system power consumption,
internal temperatures, etc.
At power up or soft reset [RES], all cards are initialized to their saved configuration states. Saved configurations
include input to output connections, on/off settings, volume levels, relay positions, etc. In the event the cards
have not been previously configured, they initialize to their factory defaults.
The front panel displays the current IP address of the enclosure. Press the button to cycle through all the cards
installed in the enclosure. This provides the card ID and model of each card to make identification possible
without establishing a network connection.

PROGRAMING NOTES
PROTOCOL
CONTROL
The protocol for the MultiTasker uses a simple keyboard character format.
When controlling MultiTasker do not send carriage returns or line at the end of commands.
•
Brackets
Characters
Cxx
Feedback
Square brackets "[ ]" are part of the command for the enclosure or plug-in card.
All commands begin with an open “[“ bracket and end with a close “]” bracket. Do not
send carriage returns or line feeds; these characters are invalid.
Only keyboard characters are accepted, and all letters are uppercase only.
•
•
This term refers to a MultiTasker card where the ID number is 2-digits; "xx"; typically the
slot number of the card; C01 through C20.
•
Feedback refers to data that is received from the MultiTasker or any of the cards
installed in the enclosure. All TCP/IP commands provide feedback either in the form of
the data requested or as command acknowledgement.
Control Command Feedback: Commands that are used to control the switcher provide
the following feedback responses:
[ ]

[Cxx ]
[ERCxx]
