Re: DMPS Disabling DHCP and Private Network Mode

 

To add to this, I had one unit that even using command line I gave up and
plugged in with a USB cable before I got everything to work right. It was a
unit I had been doing development work on and something got screwy. After I
USBed into it and did both initialize and restore everything got better.
Mind you it had been running deployed code so I don't know what was up.
Over all it can be a 'quirky' box but once you get it working it seems to
be stable.

Re: Ipads with cellular service + Mobile Pro G

Javier Huerta
 

Oliver,



From my understanding from the Apple tech web pages, the iPads and iPhones
automatically work on the wi-fi network for data if connected to one, and
only use the cellular signal for phone usage.



If your client is having issues even with wi-fi, it could just be a bad
wireless router or broadband service. Some of the less expensive smaller
routers tend to have very poor performance even with higher broadband data
rates.

Subject: [Crestron] Ipads with cellular service + Mobile Pro G






I have a client and 3 out of 4 of her Ipads are cellular capable on AT&T,
and she lives in an area of terrible cell reception. The result of this, and
not the best wi-fi, is that the 3 AT&T ipads do a lot of "connection
interrupted" while on the Crestron Mobile Pro G app and the basic wifi only
first gen ipad is quite a bit better, but not perfect. If you turn off the
cellular service on the cellular ones, they get better too.

Obviously the situation can be improved with better wifi, but I was also
wondering if anyone has been down the path of trying to automate turning off
the cellular service when on a particular wifi network to force wifi only. I
know I could do this with the Android Tasker App (it's an amazing app), not
sure the equivalent exists for IOs.

Re: Cisco C40 via SSH

Mark Chytka
 

I originally programed the system with 232 control for the C40. It would work for half a day or so and then lock up. Crestron would then start reporting buffer overflows from the 232 module. A processor reboot would restore operation until the next lock up. At that point I changed it to IP control and everything has been running fine for four months. Now the IT folks want a tighter network and changed the Codec to SSH. This leaves me in my current predicament. SSH is not capable at this time and the 232 module blows up after half a day.

We're installing one of these F3 projectors and I wasn't able to test it in
the office before it went to site. The DD people actually do the install
themselves and I was also under the impression that I only needed to control
the VP-100 (rebadged DVDO iScan Duo) scalar that comes with it. Surprise,
need to control the F3 also with a slightly confusing protocol document.

Strings are formatted as:
Start Byte &#92;xFE
Proj Addresss &#92;x01
Command Byte(s)
Data Byte(s)
Checksum byte (address + command + data) modulo 256
Stop Byte &#92;xFF

Example:
Lamp Command &#92;x76&#92;x1A
Lamp Data (On) &#92;x01
Lamp Data (Off) &#92;x00

So to turn the lamp on I believe I should get:
&#92;xFE&#92;x01&#92;x76&#92;x1A&#92;x01&#92;x92&#92;xFF

Question:
What does the modulo notation mean? Twos complement, correct? I tried
selecting MOD on the calculator but it did nothing to change the check sum
value. I think I have only had to use 2's complement once or twice in my
