14.IP Connect Serial Protocol
a. This serial command protocol is essentially the same for all console channels
(a) TELNET via TCP/IP (2 ports 3001)
(b) HTTP via port 80
FORMAT
The stream is made up of messages. A message consists of 1 to 80 printable ascii characters followed by
and end of message. An end of message is one or more of CR and LF optionally combined with any
number of delimiters.
A message is made up of unsigned numerical value fields in decimal format separated by one or more
delimeters. A delimiter is any single or combination of space, comma or tab.
Examples of valid messages to the IP Connect module are given below. All these messages have the
same meaning.
1,3,45<CR>
1,3,45<LF>
1,3,45<CR><LF>
,1,3,45<CR><LF>
1,3,45,<CR><LF>
1,3,,45,<CR><LF>
1,3, 45,<CR><LF>
1,3,45,<CR>, ,<LF>
01,3,45<CR><LF>
000000001,3,45<CR><LF>
1 3 45<CR><LF>
1, 3, 45<CR><LF>
A message is not a valid message if
It contains more than 80 characters before an end of message character is received.
It contains a character that is not <CR>,<LF>,<TAB>,<SPACE>,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,”,”.
A numerical field exceeds 65535
It contains more than 10 fields
If a packet is determined to be not a valid message it is ignored. If a message is determined to be
invalid before the end of message is ignored then all characters received are ignored until an end of
message character is received.
Messages from the IP Connect module comply with the requirements of the incoming messages but in
addition are fixed width formatted. Each numerical field is made of 5 characters (leading spaces and
digits). A comma delimiter is included. An Example is shown below.
1, 3, 45<CR><LF>

15.CONTROL COMMANDS

16.Programming Partial Positions 1 & 2
a. Before paral posions can be programmed, the screen must be calibrated – Calibraon is
done by sending the below command. eg. to calibrate screen 1 a code of 192.168.0.32:3001
– command 042 17using Unified address would see the screen calibrate
b. Calibraon command can also be sent from the PC Connect soware
Command
MAF Address + 16
Value 1
42
Unified Address
3781

c. Please start calibraon by returning screen to top limit and then sending calibraon
command.
d. Due to motor run me this feature is not available on some large projecon screens or
Screen Lowering devices
e. Paral 1 must be set first and must be above paral 2
f. Note that if paral posions have been programmed Stop 1 and Stop 2 on infra red
transmier will send screen to paral 1 & 2, and will not stop the screen.
Setting the Partial positions
Note: Partial posi tions are set using internal timers, position can vary due to mains voltage
uctuations, motor load changes and temperature.
a. To set Paral 1 – stop screen at required locaon and send command - if screen 1 is being used
a IP address 192.168.0.32:3001 – command 044 17 using unified address would see the
screen set paral posion 1
b. To set Paral 2 – stop screen at required locaon and send command - if screen 1 is being used
a IP address 192.168.0.32:3001 – command 045 17 using unified address would see the
screen set paral posion 1
17.Module Status Feedback
A module status buffer (20 record FIFO) is updated as a automacally generated Send Register
Commands with register number = 0x20 are sent from each module.
The module status buffer contains the Module ID (1 byte), and Module Status (2 bytes)
Command
050
Response from module e.g. 150, 1, 1, 6 – value 6 indicates screen at top
Command Value 1 Value 2 Value 3
150 Status Module ID Module Status Register (0x20)
COMMAND MAF Address + 16 Value 1 Descripon
44 Unified Address 3781 Sets Paral Posion 1
45 Unified Address 3781 Sets Paral Posion 2

Note –Status=1 is returned if valid data and no further records in the status buffer
Status=2 is returned if valid data and there are still records in status buffer
Status=3 is returned if valid data but the buffer is full (eg may have lost data)
Status=6 is returned if there are no new records
This buffer is updated when screens are moved. It is also updated automatically every 60 seconds.
It needs to be polled regularly to clear the stored data otherwise it will get full and records will be
lost. Even though screens may not be moving the data is being updated even though the status is the
same
Example of string from module
192.168.0.32 3001 Up Send 30 1
192.168.0.32 3001 Up Receive 130, 1, 1
192.168.0.32 3001 Status Change Receive 9999
192.168.0.32 3001 Get Module Status Send 67 3781
192.168.0.32 3001 Get Module Status Receive 167, 0, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255
192.168.0.32 3001 Status Change Receive 9999
192.168.0.32 3001 Get Module Status Send 67 3781
192.168.0.32 3001 Get Module Status Receive 167, 6, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255

18.AMX Device Discovery
a. This feature allows the IP CONNECT module to be identified by AMX AV Control Systems.
When polled the IP CONNECT module responds with a Beacon message which contains
device specific information. (Eg Make, Model, Version)
With this information the AMX system is able to then configure itself with the correct
protocol to be able to control the IP Connect Module.
b. The protocol works for any of the Serial ports, and over TCP/IP.
c. The AMX “Device Discovery White Paper.Doc” defines, The Dynamic Device Discovery
Protocol - the connection methods and data interactions required to dynamically connect a
third party device to a NetLinx Master via either serial or IP connectivity.
d. AMX Discovery is enabled using Register 80 or via internal web browser
19. Factory Reset Switch
a. Single long press for 5 seconds approximately
Factory Default Mode selected.
LED double flashes.
Pressing button again exits mode.
Receiving an IR command exits this mode.
b. Single short press for 3 seconds approximately
Screen Rattle command.
3 seconds down 1 second up.
LED single flashes while in this function.
Pressing button again stops screen.
Function is exited when screen operation finished or
another screen operate command is acted on.
c. Double short press for 2 seconds approximately per
button press
Screen Up command. Screen travels to up limit.
LED single flashes while in this function. Pressing
button again stops screen. Function is exited when
screen travels to up position or another screen
operate command is sent.
d. Triple short press for 2 seconds approximately per button press
Screen Down command. Screen travels to down limit.
LED single flashes while in this function.
Pressing button again stops screen.
Function also exited when screen operation finished or another screen operate command is
acted on.

20.Default IP Address when in Factory Default Mode
a. Hold reset button on module until LED flashes twice to put the IP module into static
IP mode
b. You will need to set your network adaptor
to look for IP range –example shown
c. Default IP address is 192.168.1.254
http://192.168.1.254

Limit Setting for Connect ElectriCinema IP Screens
The following instructions are for the adjustment of the limit switches that alter the upper
and lower stop positions on "Connect" ElectriCinema IP Screens only
Where are The Limit Switches?
(On the Left Hand Side).
One switch is accessible through the slat rod opening and the other is behind a rubber grommet
towards the front of the canister.
Which Switch is for Up and Down?
Down switch - Accessible through the rubber grommet
Up switch - Accessible through the slat rod opening
What Tools do I Need?
Either the limit setting tool (supplied), a narrow tip screw driver (less than 4mm) or a 4mm Allen Key
Which Way do I Turn the Switch?
Clockwise always increases the amount of rotation (travel) of the motor.
Anti-clockwise always reduces the amount of rotation (travel) of the motor.
So pick the switch responsible for the limit position, up or down. Clockwise turning of the switch will
always let the motor travel further in that direction. Anti-clockwise turning of the switch will lessen the
amount of travel in that direction.
Can I adjust the switch while the screen is sitting on the limit - ie fully up or down?
Clockwise adjustment? –YES. But it is better to back the screen away from the limit and then adjust
Anti-clockwise adjustment? - NO you will damage the micro switch if you turn it anti-clockwise while the
screen is sitting on the limit. Never attempt this. You must back the screen away from the limit
before adjustment. After adjustment you will need to run the screen up and down to pick up the new
limit
Will I void the product warranty if I damage the screen whilst making these adjustments?
Yes.!!!
