Controllers Reference
Polltime=1000
The frequency (in milliseconds) SC12 polls the router for
status. Default value is every 1000 milliseconds. Increasing
this value reduces the load on SC12 and the router by
polling it less frequently. However, it does in crease the time
before an error is reported. It may be necessary to do this on
a heavily loaded SC12 or router. Reducing this value
reduces the time before an error is reported but increases
the load on the SC12 and the router. The value should not be
set lower than the TIMEOUT value.
Timeout=50
This is the timeout in milliseconds for a response from the
router. The default is 50 milliseconds. This should be
sufficient for most routers when single commands are sent in
a TCP/IP packet. If multiple connect messages are sent in a
single TCP/IP packet the timeout should be increased to 200
milliseconds. Also if the router is heavily loaded this value
may need to be increased. The number of TCP/IP
connections to the SC12 should not effect the timeout, since
this is the timeout on the serial port to the router. The clients
connecting to the SC12 may need to adjust their timeout for
the response on the network due to messages on multiple
TCP/IP connections being serialized to the router.
Return_Status_5=true
This determines whether status request 1 messages return
the status response 5 message, or whatever response is
returned from the router. The default is YES. Setting this to
NO means that status response 1 to 4 are returned
depending on what router the SC12 is connected to (See
SW-P-02 for which routers return which responses). This is
intended for use with existing equipment that does not
support the status response 5 message.
TCP_Connecteds=true
Used to switch on or off unsolicited connects on the TCP
connection. When set to false a connected messages are
only sent on a TCP port in response to a connect on that
TCP port. When set to true it behaves more like the serial
ports in that whenever a crosspoint is set a connected is sent
on all open TCP connections, even if not set by a command
on that port, for example, a panel. The default =true.
Connect_MC_ENA=true
Enables the multi-cast address used for connecteds.
Default=true.
Stat6_MC_ENA=true
Enables the multi-cast address used for status 5 changes.
Default=true.
[PyxisVideoInputMonitoring]
Issue 1 Rev 4
Output=17
This entry specifies which output on the router is used for
checking the signal lock on the inputs. Each input is routed
to this output in turn and if the output obtains a signal lock
then the input is deemed to have a valid input signal. This
feature enables input signal presence monitoring without
dedicated hardware. This value must be a valid (and
unused) output port on the router. To disable the Video
Input monitoring feature completely set this value to 0.
FirstInput=1
This entry specifies the first input port on the router that
input signal monitoring is enabled for. This is the first input
that is routed to the output port listed above for monitoring
purposes. This value must be a valid input port on the
router.
