VTP Reserved Join: Start SONOS

 

Hi All,
I'm working on an old project for another dealer and found a button with a res. join of 28511. this renders 'Start SONOS'
I thought that this was interesting given the suffering that I (and others) have experienced with.

Does anyone have an idea what it's for???
It was on a TSW-1060 project, so maybe it is to launch the internal app, which no longer works...
I don't have a x60 unit to test, tried it on an iPAD with Sonos installed, but it doesn't seem to do anything...


Re: where do programmer's go

 

I am a programmer, and have always had regular salary jobs.? Just do a Google search for AV integrators in the area you live/want to live and look at their job postings or give them a call. it always worked for me.

TSR-310 xPanel test

 

Hi All,
I'm testing a system in my lab that I upgraded from an older version, and I'm having issues testing the TSR-310 files.
I basically get the 'homepage' frame but none of the programmatically controlled elements show up.?
The IPTable shows it online, and if I use an IP-ID from a TSW, I get some activity.

Just wondering if anyone has seen issues with TSR/xPanel...TIA!


Re: DSC PowerSeries Neo

 

in full disclosure, I have never dealt with the CCD elements, but my download zip file does contain a .PKG file.
If this is what you're missing, reach out to me directly and I'll email it to you. I would post but I think that's against the rules!...:)


Re: MTX-3 PTX-3

 

Yea at that point they are junk. Unless you want to pay for repair.?


Re: Sending IP commands to Crestron end points from third party software

 

Maybe TCP/Server ?


Sending IP commands to Crestron end points from third party software

 

Does anyone know or found any TCP/IP commands that can be sent to Crestron end points TX-201, RMCs and scalers to send IR, RS232 and CEC commands to connected equipment eg LCD Screens and Projectors from third party controllers/processers and software like packet sender. TIA.? ??


Re: Cisco 4.0

 

You have to extract informations from strings you receive from the cisco
It's not very hard, just need patience :)


Re: DSC PowerSeries Neo

 

I read through and looked through the links carefully, there's nothing I could not understand.

Control of third party products is often achieved by using/creating User Modules or Crestron Certified Drivers. These can be SIMPL modules (.umc), SIMPL+ modules (.usp), SIMPL# (.clz), or a combination of these file types.

The package contains no SIMPL nor driver modules at all, unlike the examples you have posted, all of them have at least a SMW file. This package file is obviously a dud.?

I have written to Crestron tech support, not sure if they'll reply, I hope they will.?


Re: PRO4 very slow to respond

 

I have the same issues with a CP4, and i think it become when there are a lot disconnected TCP connection...
You have to initialize the processor when there is a crash...

For the panels, the last update requires a gateway to ping, whatever the ip, the panel ping the gateway and disconnect if there is no response.


Re: DSC PowerSeries Neo

 

The "something obvious" you missed was in the previously-posted link - <>. This one might also be useful <>, as are the following:

/g/crestron/topic/92677717#246858



After CAREFULLY reading all the information in those pages, post again with follow-up questions, or consider contacting Tech Support.

Re: DSC PowerSeries Neo

 

Or am I missing something obvious like I don't know how to install the downloaded .pkg file??

?

I have searched through everywhere but there's no instruction or methods to install a .pkg file. Anyone has any pointers??

Re: C# TCP Client to connect to MC4 via Hostname

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Does a DNS A record exist for ¡®MC4-00107FE73CAB¡¯ in one of the DNS search domains (either a record you manually created or, if your network is configured to allow this one automatically created/updated as part of the DHCP lease process)?

?

Generally, using unqualified hostnames in the wild world can be problematic because it relies on the DNS client trying to resolve the name having a matching search domain configured (e.g. behind the scenes it will try to resolve MC4-00107FE73CAB.abc.com, MC4-00107FE73CAB.xyz.com, etc. if abc.com and xyz.com are configured as search domains) and it is better to specify the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) to avoid the ambiguities that relying on the search list. Particularly if one ends default domain is abc.com but the other is xyz.net.

?

If your client is another Crestron processor you can try TESTDNS MC4-00107FE73CAB. If the name can be resolved you will get the IP address that it resolves to*; if not it will be 0.0.0.0

?

If your client is a Windows PC you can try opening a command prompt (Win+R cmd<enter>) then NSLOOKUP MC4-00107FE73CAB. If it can be resolved you will get all of the IP addresses the configured DNS server will resolve the domain to; if not you will get a NX Domain error.

?

In either 0.0.0.0 or NX Domain you would need to fix the DNS records and/or configuration first; if an IP address is returned make sure it matches the IP address you¡¯re expecting.

?

(*- note that when multiple A-records exist TESTDNS will return the IP address associated with only one of the records; which record appears to be somewhat random. At least in the 3-series and earlier [haven¡¯t had reason to look at it on the 4-series since this is not a common scenario] once the processor picks an IP from a multiple-record-response it will use that IP, and only that IP, until the processor is rebooted, seemingly without regard to the TTL. At next boot a different IP may or may not be chosen. This had led to some ¡®fun¡¯ troubleshooting.

?

As an example:

?

--- Windows 10 NSLookup for ebay.com ---

?

C:\Users\lincoln>nslookup

Default Server:? cworks-cle.cworks.local

Address:? 10.5.0.11

?

> ebay.com

Server:? cworks-cle.cworks.local

Address:? 10.5.0.11

?

Non-authoritative answer:

Name:??? ebay.com

Addresses:? 209.140.136.254

????????? 209.140.139.232

????????? 209.140.136.23

?

?

Vs PRO4 TestDNS using the same name server:

PRO4>testdns ebay.com

IPAddress = 209.140.139.232

Subject: [crestron] C# TCP Client to connect to MC4 via Hostname

?

Hello, I am writing a TCP client class in VS2019 using System.Net.Sockets TCPClient.?
I created a test server on the MC4 at TCP port 9001.
The MC4 IP is 10.0.0.57 and the MC4 hostname is?MC4-00107FE73CAB
My Client class first checks if the IP address is pingable and then connects via IP Address
Everything is working great except now I am trying to ping test and connect with the HostName of the MC4 and nothing works.

string hostName = "MC4-00107FE73CAB"
_client = new TcpClient();
_client.Connect(hostName, port);

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks


F7 broken in Toolbox v3.12.2?

 

I use the F7 key a lot for bringing up the file transfer dialog when connected to a processor with the terminal tool. No longer seems to work in v3.12.2. Any way to get this back or is this just a bug?

Thx

Re: Off Topic: Epson 5050UB Trigger

 

I tested on my 6050UB and 12v trigger turned off right after the lens cover fully closed. Hopefully that helps since they are mostly the same PJ.

I would also not rely on a ping for verification of a present device.

There are environments that block pings, but only allow very specific service ports.

Did you add a DNS entry in your client's hosts file?

?

This shows how on several different OSes.

?

Also consider that if you are going to be creating a connection which is forced to secure (as in forces you to use TLS), there are some protocols which will automatically fail if there are issues with a certificate. The DNS entry not being verifiable can be one of those issues. Getting a certificate with a verified domain name such that your DNS name will be accepted is quite a chore. Then again, when I tried doing a very similar thing, I might have missed an obvious and easier path.
