DYNAMIC MESSAGE
Note the IP address and Port Number of your Model 732 RDS Encoder
In your automation software, use the IP
address and Port number you’ve noted to
“tell” your automation system where to
send the data for the Model 732. (This will
be dierent for every automation system.)
To verify that valid data is being sent to the Model 732 from your automation system you can
monitor the received data on the “Debug” screen or via the web interface.
You can see from the above that DPS=Thriller by
Michael Jackson on KBLF <cr> was sent to the 732. The
732 responded with [OK TCP1] which means the data
was received with the correct syntax on TCP1.
(This can be done through the front panel display, or more easily using the web interface.)
NOTE IP
NOTE PORT
You can also see that TEXT=KBLF – Always playing your
favorite music <cr> was sent to the 732. The 732 responded
with [OK TCP1] which means the data was received with the
correct syntax on TCP1.
