1. Communication Settings
FA-9600 units can be controlled using dedicated commands over LAN.
Dynamic Range Control / Color Converter and Audio menu settings can be changed by these
commands.
1-1. Communication Method
Communication Interface
Ethernet: IEEE802.3u/ab (100BASE-TX / 1000BASE-T)
Control Command
Command Devices send control commands to FA-9600 using TCP packets.
(See Sec 3 “Command Format” for details on commands and its format)
Response to Command (FA-9600)
FA-9600 sends “ACK” after properly receiving a command, or an error message in other cases
using TCP packets. (See Sec. 3-2 “Command Response.”)
Destination Address
FA-9600 IP address: 192.168.0.10 (default) (Use the current FA-9600 IP address.))
Connection Timeout (Keep-Alive Idle)
10-180 sec (default: 120 sec) (See the next page for changing setting.)
No response comes back before the timeout limit while establishing the TCP connection with
an FA-9600, the command transmitter waits 750 seconds while detecting packets. If no
packets are still received, the connection is forced to close.
Number of Command Connections
A single FA-9600 unit can simultaneously receive commands from up to two control points.
Status Request
Command Devices send status request messages (TCP) to FA-9600.
Response to Status Request (FA-9600)
FA-9600 sends status messages (UDP) in response to request. (See Sec. 7 “Status Messages
from FA-9600)
Status Report (FA-9600)
When the FA-9600 status or settings change, FA-9600 sends a status report to two destinations
(UDP). Status report messages have the same syntax as those for status response messages.
Destination Address
Destination 1: 0. 0. 0. 0 (default) (To change the address, see next page.)
Destination 2: 0. 0. 0. 0 (default) (To change the address, see next page.))
UDP port: 60000 (default) (To change the number, see the nest page.))
Two destinations are defined in the Web GUI - Network Settings tab. (See next page)
Change targets are parameter values that can be changed by commands (excluding event
control) and input/output formats.
The time intervals for detecting changes are 500 to 1000 msec (depending on the software
performance.)

5
1-2. Changing Status Report Destination Addresses
Whenever the FA-9600 status changes, FA-9600 sends a status report to two destinations (UDP).
These destination addresses and port number can be changed as shown below, as needed.
1) Refer to FA-9600 Operation Manual to connect to FA-9600 through Web GUI.
2) Select the Network Settings tab in the Web GUI. A screen as shown below opens.
3) Set two destination addresses under Notify Address 1 and 2.
4) Set the port number under Ext. Control Port which is shared by the two ports.
5) Set the idle timeout period under Keep-Alive Idle.
6) Click Apply.
7) When a message dialog window appears, click OK.
8) When a reconfirmation dialog appears, click OK.
The changes are enabled after restarting FA-9600.
FA-9600 IP address, Netmask and Gateway
Port no. for FA-10RU/Windows GUI connection
Port no. for sending status report
Report destination IP addresses
Connection idle timeout period

2. Command Flow Examples
2-1. Checking FA-9600 Start-up
1) Command Device issues a Power On command to Command Device. The Power On
command can also specify the protocol compatible with your FA-9600 software version. (See
Sec. 6-1 “Power On”)
2) FA-9600 sends “ACK”to Command Device. (See Sec. 3-2. “Command Response”)
Start command control with this request command and send the next command after receiving
“ACK.”
2-2. Requesting FA-9600 Video Status
1) Command Device issues a status request to FA-9600. (See Sec. 6-4 “Video Status Request.”)
2) FA-9600 sends “ACK” to Command Device.
3) FA-9600 send a status message in response to the command. (See Sec. 7-1 “Video Status “)
4) Command Device sends “ACK”to FA-9600.
Use this flow example whenever requesting FA-9600 status after restart.
2-3. Changing Audio Gain Settings
1) Command Device issues an Audio Gain Setting command to FA-9600. (See Sec. 5-4 “Audio
Gain”)
2) FA-9600 sends “ACK” to Command Device.
Send the next command after receiving “ACK” from FA-9600.
2-4. Reporting FA-9600 Status Change
1) FA-9600 issues a status message to two specified destinations. (See Sec. 7 “Status Messages
from FA-9600”)
2) The destination devices send “ACK” to FA-9600.
If no “ACK” returns, FA-9600 re-sends the status message up to three times.
