GPI network cards

To use a GPI 'network' card via SwitcherClient.dll, the application must specify a GPI card number = 0x9999 (value in hexadecimal).

 

To use an Axia Livewire network GPIO card, the application will:

 

Activate the Axia LW interface by setting the key to Yes:

oHKLM \ SOFTWARE \ (Wow6432Node \) NETIA \ CartIO32 \ Enable ALw

Up to 10 Axia network GPIO cards are managed. Specify as GPI card no. Inclusive from 0xAAAA to 0xAAB4 (values ​​in hexadecimal).

The first card (No. = 0xAAAA) is reserved for the GPIO interface of the local machine. It is detected automatically.

The following cards must be manually configured in the registry, via string values:

oHKLM \ SOFTWARE \ (Wow6432Node \) NETIA \ CartIO32 \ ALW1 to ALW9.

Key ALW0 is reserved. Keys ALW1 through ALW9 are configured adjacently with the following format: <host name or IP address> <character '¤'>.

 

e.g : 10.10.20.10¤

 

Note: The connection is made by opening a TCP connection on the target port 93.

Ensure that this connection will not be blocked by the firewall.

 

To use a Logitek type network GPIO (LP2 protocol), you must first configure the registry in:

 

HKLM \ SOFTWARE \ (Wow6432Node \) NETIA \ CartIO32 \

 

and:

Enable the Logitek LP2 interface by setting the Enable LP2 key to Yes. (This key is automatically created at the first launch).

Fill in the 'LP2' key with the Logitek Supervisor URI, with the following format: tcp: // user: password @ hote_ou_addr_ip: port

oAccording to Logitek, the port number is 10200 or 10213. (This key is automatically created at the first launch with the following value: tcp: // user: guest @ localhost: 10200).

In the 'Logitek LP2 Settings' subkey:

oSet the '_Debug Mode' key to Yes to display in a DBWin32 or equivalent the details of the received data.

oEnter the string values ​​'xx GPO ON', 'xx GPO OFF', 'xx GPI ON', 'xx GPI OFF', where 'xx' is a 2-digit number from 00 to 63 inclusive.

 

 These entries make it possible, on one hand, to enter, for each GPIO, the commands to be sent for the GPO ON / OFF and to identify the GPI concerned when a command arrives from the Logitek Supervisor.

 The numbering must be adjacent.

 Important: it is necessary to put the commands WITHOUT STX (02h) initial and WITHOUT the 2nd byte (size of the command).

 Each command is a series of bytes (max 10 bytes), in hexadecimal form, separated by a comma:

Ex: 53,03,01,32,01,00

 

 Refer to the Logitek LP2 protocol documentation to correctly complete these fields.

 

The application must specify as GPI card No. 0x2222 (value in hexadecimal).

 Note: The connection is made by opening a TCP connection. Ensure that this connection will not be blocked by the firewall.

 

To use a Stagetec type network GPIO (SOAP Protocol v0.9.7 protocol), you must first configure the registry in: HKLM \ SOFTWARE \ (Wow6432Node \) NETIA \ CartIO32 \

 

and:

oEnable the Stagetec interface by setting the Enable Stg key to Yes. (This key is automatically created at the first launch).

oEnter the key 'Stagetec OAProxy URI' with the URI of the OAProxy server of Stagetec, with the following format: hote_ou_addr_ip: port (ex: localhost: 8999)

 

The application should specify as GPI card No. 0x8999 (value in hexadecimal).

 

Note: The connection is made by opening a TCP connection. Ensure that this connection will not be blocked by the firewall.
