Comm Port Madness
Has anyone else seen this?? It has been torturing me for a few years now. It's probably stupid me, but I have been increasingly fastidious about this as I have been bitten numerous times...
Regarding the TX and RX inputs on the COMM port device symbols, I have carefully C/P'd the signals to their appropriate connections, verify them now since I've had this issue so much, and go on to more pressing matters, making changes and updating stuff as needed. I find that a serial device is not working properly so of course I have the dealer flip Tx and Rx conductors which usually fixes stuff, but every once in a while I go down a rabbit hole were nothing works or makes sense... Then I notice that The TX signal (or sometimes the RX signal) is on both the In and Out of the Comm symbol - Of course this is the issue.. It seems like somehow doing a save-as and/or new compile changes this (i.e. copies one side to the other)... Has anyone seen this, or am I really ready for the dog track...:(:(:( TIA! |

Re: Lutron QSX Feedback
#lutron
You have to program amd use the LED for feedback. The joins are often 1 lower for feedback than the press.
The Feedback on button module doesn¡¯t work. It only shows a blink or toggle. Doesn¡¯t match actual Lutron programming feedback |

Re: DM-NVX-351 on different subnet
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýAll of the 3-series with a control subnet also have gigabit NICs; 3-series without a control subnet IGMP proxy isn¡¯t applicable. In any event, IGMPPROXY OFF is the more sane default/standard configuration. ? There are a variety of things that go into an effective multicast deployment ¨C IGMP snooping (and no TCN flood for Cisco) are critical but if the processor is trying to proxy multicast unless you have things upstream (like blocking all multicast on that switch port) it¡¯s ¡°working as designed¡± ? -- Lincoln King-Cliby, CTS, DMC-E-4K/T/D ?

Re: Array Index Question
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýYou can use a CHANGE on a digital ¨C it will capture the rising and falling edges ¨C it allows you to capture the PUSH and RELEASE in the same event, e.g. if you¡¯re relaying a digitals state to S# or want to do the same thing when the signal changes vs. only on rising edge or falling edge. ? A PUSH will only trigger in response to the rising edge (0->1) of a digital signal A RELEASE will only trigger in response to the falling edge (1->0) of a digital signal A CHANGE will trigger in response to either 0->1 or 1->0 of a digital signal or the value of an analog or serial changing. ? -- Lincoln King-Cliby, CTS, DMC-E-4K/T/D ?

Re: Array Index Question
If Update_Names is a single digital input, then GetLastModifiedArrayIndex() will not return a usable value within its event handler.? It is only defined for use with array signals. On Fri, Aug 6, 2021 at 11:48 AM Crestron_Programmer <s.marszalek11@...> wrote: Hi Lincoln, |

Re: Luxul PDU08
Thanks for pointing to the right RackLink model. I got it working, it seems the "Control" user does not work or the password didnt set properly, or i cant log in through the web with that user either. That hex string I posted means "Access denied". I used "user" instead and it works. We have already had it drop off the network since getting control (had to reset the ethernet cable). So should we be able to upgrade this firmware without issue? Using version 1.14.02 for RLNK-915R?

I always though it was just IGMP snooping in the Ethernet switches that was useful for lowering multicast traffic.? Guess I need to read up on IGMP proxy to see how that may lower bandwidth too. |

Re: DM-NVX-351 on different subnet
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIGMPPROXY is (potentially) helpful for lower-bandwidth multicast things like mDNS, UPnP, and Bonjour (AirPlay, AirPrint, etc.) bridging the CS to LAN ¨C the problem is that the processor only has a gigabit interface and with NVX using ~750m in its default configuration it only takes 2 encoders being proxied by the processor before you¡¯ve completely saturated the CS and LAN interfaces on the processor and all sorts of things fall apart. ?(750 + 750 = 1500? > 1000) ? I believe the default is off for more recent firmware and the 4-series but I haven¡¯t had NVX in a network configuration where that would matter in a long time. ? -- Lincoln King-Cliby, CTS, DMC-E-4K/T/D ?

Re: Array Index Question
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIs Update_Names an array? Do you have more than one input array? ? If no to the first question and yes to the 2nd see the SIMPL+ help ¡°NOTE: ?Using GetLastModifiedArrayIndex OUTSIDE of an event (PUSH, RELEASE, CHANGE or EVENT) may return an index to an ambiguous signal if more than one input array is declared within the program. ?Therefore, do not use this function if more than one input signal array is declared within the program, unless you use it within one of the event statements.¡± ? Aside from that note I don¡¯t think it is generally best practice to use GLMAI outside of the event for the array in question, particularly because the GLAMI value is safe within the event function and not so outside (e.g. if two different indexes change on the same wave you will fire two CHANGEs but GLAMI might not be the value you expect. I also wouldn¡¯t be surprised if at some point since that help text was written and today the something under the hood got changed such that all inputs get treated as an array of one element. ? -- Lincoln King-Cliby, CTS, DMC-E-4K/T/D ?

Lutron QSX Feedback
#lutron
Hello, has anyone had issues with the Lutron QSX? i am using a mc4 with 2.500 fw and using he crestron module from app store for QSX, and i have control but the feedback is momentary, sometimes a buttons on a keypad stays on but i cant get them off.?
TIA |

And then your have to tell the mDNS repeater which VLANs to repeat.?? So it is more involve that just flipping a switch to implement IGMP proxy. Which begs the question, why have IGMP proxy enable by default particularly when you have a Crestron processor with one LAN port and no ability to do VLANs.? I cannot imagine a situation where it needs to be turned on in anything but a router and then only in very unique situations. |

I have not run into a need to have IGMP proxy on but I have forgotten to disable it before connecting NVX so it seems like it would be better to be disabled from the factory but maybe theres a use-case I havent considered. |

Re: Luxul PDU08
Hi James L,
For the Middle Atlantic RackLink Select Demo program, You can find the Crestron module in the files section (just posted a week or two ago). Also you can find it and the latest FW (v1.14.02 is actually the release version) firmware and the Crestron demo at this link, in the Resources&Tools tab: I have a call into my MAP guy to confirm that the PDU8 is the same as the RLNK-915R, and |

One thing I have never fully understood is why you need to execute the command "IGMPPROXY OFF" on the Crestron processor or why it was even turned on by default in the first place.? I guess I could just try it both ways and see what happens. Thanks, |
