Re: Getting an Xpanel to run on a Mac using Parallels

 

If by "the XPanel runs off the Crestron processor", you mean it's a web X-Panel
instead of an exe, then I'd say that's the problem.

I always use exe X-Panels because of all the issues the browser panels seem to
have - network issues, browser issues, security issues, OS issues, etc. An exe
is "self-contained" and much less troublesome. The only issue I've seen with
Macs, is the actual Adobe Air installation which is a little more complicated
than doing it on Windows.

I won't comment on the use of Savant... :-)

What's the trick to getting it to run on either the MAC side or Windows side?

I can run it here from my desk with no issue, using real Windows.


Re: LG Closed Caption Serial String

 

Yes? using built in tuners for the TV's

Everything?works great,

?just can't find a serial string for the TV tuner for CC

?Most are LG 55LV340H? but there are some older 50" models,

All are working with same code module

Bartenders sometimes turn on CC with a remote or phone app.

I want to add this to the system restart command in the mornings

to turn off all the CC.


Thanks for the reply







Re: Shure MXA910 protocol details

 

Same basic idea here. I've found that if I'm muting in a DSP or codec, it is better to just change the LED brightness or unmuted color in the mic so AEC doesn't have to reconverge when the mic unmutes again. Also, after looking at the module, I love that we have come to nearly the same conclusion development-wise, albeit separately.

Since we're talking Shure products, I have fairly lightweight modules for the Shure ULX-D and QLX-D wireless mics¡ªmostly channel volume/mute and transmitter type. I have been using tx type status responses from the units to automatically recall handheld/lav transmitter presets in DSPs without having to expose buttons for these functions on a UI. I can post them if anyone is interested.

Good Morning

Has anyone managed the shure Digital Conference System?model dcs-6000?

If so, could they help me.

I did not find the control API for this system.

Re: Shure MXA910 protocol details

 

I do the same.

0 = Off
1 = Dim
2 = Bright (default)

Hey Chip,? I've had to control the LED color and LED on/off before, and I was able to do it without presets.? I had to use the "brightness" command and set it either to 0 or 2?? (full off or full on) to make the led go off.? Not sure if this is similar to what you were doing, but using the brightness wasn't exactly my first instinct to use.

My use case, was that the client wanted to have the mic to track the VoIP phone.? If the phone was not in use, the LED would be OFF.? If the VoIP was off-hook, the LED would track Red/Green with privacy mute.? The awesome part is that you can change the colors still while the brightness is OFF.? So you can have simple code track red/green, and another peice of simple code track hook on/off and change the brightness to off/full and it works great.

No Presets required.

CEN-NSP1 Player dropping from the network

 

Hi Everyone,


Is anyone having or had a problem where the NSP1's drops from the network and Crestron can't find it again when I go to the touch panel's media player and is not there anymore. I try to discover it in toolbox and can't find it anymore, I tried pinging the IP which is a static IP and I get no reply. Then I have to unplug and plug it back in again.

This happens occasionally.?

Use the Brightness command to turn the LED off. I usually don¡¯t even mute it since I am already muting the DSP. I just send commands for changing the unmuted color from green to red or from a color to no light. I have a module that I can¡¯t share unfortunately that does parse out the preset names. Nothing difficult about parsing the feedback if needed. They would be the perfect product if they provided a second LAN port for control, IMO.

"The awesome part is that you can change the colors still while the brightness is OFF"

I *think* we're talking about different LEDs.? I can control the *ring* no problem - it's the "mic mute" LEDs I'm talking about.

Thank you Lincoln and Josh, this is great info! ?The white paper describes how the Crestron module would talk to the units. ?Turns out there is an unimplemented/unused function in the USB-EXT-DM module diGetDevices, that when pulsed sends out the discovery broadcast message, but the control system does not receive any feedback for this. ?If you have Wireshark running when you pulse this, you'll get back information on each unit on the network.

Getting an Xpanel to run on a Mac using Parallels

We do several Savant projects where Crestron may be the HVAC or Video (DM/NVX) system. It seems every time I make an Xpanel for our techs to use to test the Crestron side, they can't get it to load on their damn MACs.? Pretty sure they all use Parallels and I make the Xpanel so that it runs off the Crestron processor.

Re: usb-ext-dm MAC address

 

Not sure if this is going to double post on me, but my previous message is not showing up...? Yahoo...

By default these are layer 2 devices so they do not get an IP address and therefore cannot be pinged.

However, if you look here:


You can use this to "extend" the Crestron module to give more functionality.? Notice that, while the protocol is the same, the Crestron parts use a different "magic number".

Once the module is modified, manually pair one of the unkown units with a known unit, then query the known unit.? It will report the address of the unit it is paired with.

Not exactly as easy as ping (at first) but doable.

While you are at it you can modify your module to give real feedback.? What is Crestron thinking leaving this sort of functionality out?




Re: usb-ext-dm MAC address

 

By default these devices are layer 2 only, so no IP address, no ping.

The way I have done this in the past is to modify the crestron module to have more capability than stock.

Download this doc:


It contains all the protocol info for the devices.? Note that the "magic number" is different on Crestron devices than what is in the doc, but the rest of the protocol is the same.

I will manually pair a unit to a unit I know the number of then send the command to have that device report its status to me.? Included in the status is the address of the unit it is connected to.

I usually use wireshark to spy on the comms.



Re: usb-ext-dm MAC address

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Since the USB-EXT-DM don¡¯t speak IP you won¡¯t find it as a DHCP client, nor are you likely to find a mac address using ARP because there¡¯s no ARPing going on [no IP address means no Address to Resolve with the protocol]

?

If you have a real switch you may have luck looking at the port MAC address table ¨C though you may need to do this fairly quickly after power cycling the device because if it¡¯s not passing traffic it will age out of the list and ¡°disappear¡± (almost every device will send out a few ¡°Hi, it¡¯s me! Anyone there!¡± on initial link but if nothing else is talking they¡¯ll fall off the list.

?

On Cisco Catalyst switches it¡¯s sh mac address-table int <interface id>, e.g. for gigabit port 10 on stack member 1 slot 0 sh mac address-table int gi1/0/10

Check the DHCP server maybe? ? Enterprise environments you can also look at the arp table on the router.
