Switch Channel [KDS-DEC6]
Command client to connect to a specified channel. For API backward compatibility and easier
usage, this command has 3 syntax formats. Channel can be specified by channel number (ch-
select) or host’s ip address (host-ip-addr).
Syntax [legacy, refresh current connection] e e_reconnect
Syntax [specify channel, apply to all services] e e_reconnect:: {ch-select|host-ip-addr}
Parameters
•ch-select:
▪Enter 4 digit decimal number from 0000 to 9999. It must be in 4 digit format
prepending with 0.
Example: 0000, 0001, 0100, 1000, 3456, 1342, 8888, 9999….
▪Default value: Determined from on-board 4-bits DIP switch. Since it is 4-bits 0 or 1, it
can only represent 16 channels in total. They are 0000, 0001, 0010, 0011, 0100,
0101,..., 1111. Default values are also interpreted as decimal number instead of
binary value.
•host-ip-addr:
▪Enter an IP address in dotted decimal format. Used to specify the host’s IP address
to connect to.
Example: 169.254.11.22
▪{{Z}|{v||u||a| }}:
Used to specify which function to apply.
v: video over IP
u: USB over IP
a: Audio over IP
Z: all features except video over IP
Usage Information
•Command supports ch-select from 0000 to 9999, which means there are maximum
10000 host channels can be used.
•To simplify configuration process, FW will automatically map
•‘channel’ to ‘multicast IP’. Users don’t have to specify ‘multicast IP’.
