Panasonic AW-UE50KPJ auto-tracking start/stop command

 

Good Morning,
I am controlling a Panasonic AW-UE50KPJ? using the module Panasonic_PTZ_Camera_Series-HE-UE-UB-HR through IP.
?I do need the command to start/stop the autotracking.?
Any help??
Thanks a lot
Re: 4-Series Processors, SSL, and VPN connection

 

My bet is the IP range in your office is the same as on the control subnet of the processors, IIRC that's by default 172.22.0.0/24.
?
?
You can change the IP range on the processors through toolbox in the ethernet settings or with the text console command csrouterprefix. If you're using the control subnet you may want to power cycle the devices on there for them to grab an IP in the new range, if you have addressed some with static addresses you also need to change that to the new IP range manually.
Re: 4-Series Processors, SSL, and VPN connection

 

The only difference we can see between the two is that the single user VPN, my computer receives an IP address on the customers network while on the site-to-site VPN, my computer keeps its IP on our network
?
yeah, that¡¯s why.
Re: 4-Series Processors, SSL, and VPN connection

 

My guess is you forgot to put the default gateway or have it wrong on those processors.
4-Series Processors, SSL, and VPN connection

 

Hello,
?
I have a site with two 4 series processors, one CP4n and one Zum-Hub4. Both devices have SSL enabled. One TSW-770 connects to both devices and this device also has SSL enabled. On-site, I can connect to all three devices without issue. Our office has a site-to-site VPN. From my desktop, I am able to connect to the TSW and every non-Crestron device on the AV VLAN, however, I am unable to connect to either processor. Neither processor responds to a ping, if I run a wireshark, I get no reply back from the two processors. I've also tried an SFTP connection through Filezilla (TSW no problem, processors timeout) and SSH through putty (TSW no problem, processors timeout).
?
As a troubleshooting step, we created a single user VPN. Through that I am able to connect to all the processors without an issue. The only difference we can see between the two is that the single user VPN, my computer receives an IP address on the customers network while on the site-to-site VPN, my computer keeps its IP on our network.
?
I'm curious if anybody has any insights as to why I would be unable to connect to the processors over the site-to-site VPN but have no issue with the TSW? I've checked the def router and the settings are the same on processors and TSW. I've also contacted TrueBlue and they are telling me that SSH must not be configured correctly, which I don't agree with seeing as I have no issue connecting to the TSW with SSH.
?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Re: New vs Old Program logic - logic running too many times

 

See they are going to take our jobs lol. I recently had the opposite problem. I had a variable that I was using globally that was causing issues and needed to be local. :) Skynet solved the problem for me.
Re: New vs Old Program logic - logic running too many times

 

change "isProcessing" local variable to a global variable and added a Debounce to the input trigger. So far seems to be working.
Re: New vs Old Program logic - logic running too many times

 

Ai overloads says:

The issue lies in your?change Console_Rx$?handler logic where the?isProcessing?variable is used. In its current state,?isProcessing?is declared as a local variable in the?change?block. This means its value resets to?0?every time the?change Console_Rx$?event is triggered, rendering the logic for preventing re-entry ineffective. This behavior causes the code to repeatedly execute, even when the flags are set as intended.

Let me know if they are right.
New vs Old Program logic - logic running too many times

 

the following Simp+ code is intended to set flags and send a command to console to retrieve data. During the "change Console_Rx$" I have placed several flags to prevent if already processing data, only running an event once until Initialize button is triggered again but once triggered the data is being received from Console_Rx$ the logic is running anywhere from 7-10 times. The debugger Print statement confirms that the flags are reset to "0" but the logic continues to trigger without setting flags to 1.?
What am I missing here?

Re: Floor Heating Tstat, Hi-Volt thats Integratable

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Thanks Chris.

I've just been a firm believer for a long time that there are great IoT devices out there, that have some incredible functionality, and can really enhance a smart home.? And, Just because Crestron wants everything in a smart home to be purchased from them, that shouldn't be a barrier to adoption.? Even if the lack of margins on these devices keep them from being used on many customer projects, Crestron programmers, with a system in their own homes, can save a boatload of money compared to Crestron products.? And, once programmers become comfortable with these devices in their own home, they can be used in limited ways in customer systems to add special functionality.?

That being said I still think Crestron makes some great products.? I have CLW light switches throughout my home and the ability to customize the button configurations and engrave them is still a significant differentiator when compared to off the shelf smart switches.? I also think that Crestron will eventually come out with a Matter gateway for Crestron systems.? In this way they can monetize dealers adding consumer IoT devices into a Crestron system.

For those that want to dip their toe into the waters of consumer IoT devices, I would recommend looking at the Aqara FP2 presence sensor.? The product is a game changer when it comes to what you can do wrt presence sensing in a room.? Its use of mmWave radar allows you to setup zones in a room and detect when people are in a specific zone, not just in the room.? You can create all kinds of automations based around that knowledge.? For example, you could create a detection zone in front of a gas fireplace and shut the fireplace down when someone approaches it.? This could save a toddler from significant burns if they are attracted by the flames of the fireplace when someone isn't watching. You could also setup detection zones on either side of a bed and dimly light pathway lights to the bathroom if someone gets up at night.? But, the lights won't get turned on if there is movement in the bed itself.? Finally, the FP2 is so sensitive it can detect the movement of someone breathing while they are asleep.? So, you can truly know if a room is occupied or not.? All of this is impossible with a standard presence/motion detector.? The only downside to the FP2 is that it isn't battery powered, it has to be wired to an outlet.

Here is an article I wrote on it:

You can find all the drivers I've written, including the Crestron-Hubitat driver on my github:

Thanks again

I hope that we can do some testing for a good floor heat TStat and find a decent solution for these kinds of things.

Re: C9300 Multicast flooding to NVXs

 

Hi!? ?I had a similar circumstance.? ?It turned out that I needed to turn of spanning tree protocol on all NVX ports and the problem was gone.
Re: C9300 Multicast flooding to NVXs

 

Did you update the firmware? Older ones had issue with NO TCN FLOOD commands not working properly. Although that will require a topology change, such one of the switches dropping and reconnecting.?
Re: C9300 Multicast flooding to NVXs

 

Thanks Both!?Appreciate the help!
?
I will take alook at that video.
?
Perhaps maybe I will test by moving the querier on to the access switch, where most of these encoders and decoders are and not the core.
?
I have "no igmp snooping tcn flood" applied to all the access ports for devices on this vlan, I have a few other devices on other vlans on this switch should I apply it here as well and o I need it on the uplinks as well?
?
Uplink bandwidth seems fine no drops or anything there, issue is with the access ports where these devices connect just seem to receive a burst of traffic at random times filling up the buffers and dropping the packets but could go hours and hours without issue.
?
Re: C9300 Multicast flooding to NVXs

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

So two things...

L2 Multicast will always go to the querier, best practice in simple configurations IME is to have the querier on the switch hosting the majority of encoders and you may need to make sure the uplinks are sized accordingly...

Second you need to disable flooding on a STP topology change notification (TCN). I'm sitting at a hotel restaurant right now but IIRC it's" no span tcn flood" applied to every interface.

If I weren't on mobile I'd give the dissertation for why this is the default but my thumbs are tired ?

Hi,
?
I am working on a project to implement Creston NVXs, Q-Sys etc, I work on the network side so don't 100% understand all of it. We are having an issue where ports connected to NVX-D30 at random point during the day and night get flooded with traffic, overwhelming port causing traffic to drop therefore the display flick. We can go hours with out issue, there no real pattern to when and why it occurs. Network consists C9300 connected to C9500 core where the igmp querier is. This AV kit sits on its own vlan. Snooping and immediate leave are enabled. No matter how much QoS I put on the put it still falls over. Has anyone see this kind of this before? or has some example config in which might help? I am lost on what it could be. Any help would much appreciated.

Happy to share more logs and config.

Sounds like something we were kinda running into on some Aruba switches too. I don't know what the Cisco equivalent is, but it could be related to this:

Re: Toolbox on a Macbook Pro via Parallels

 

I have been running Crestron software on Mac computers since 1990 using a variety on means. I've been using Parallels since Intel Macs and am now running it on an M3 MacBook Pro. USB is problematic, but networking over WiFi or Ethernet works fine, but there are some cavitates. As mentioned previously the default is Shared Networking where Windows has a private address using NAT. However, if you select Bridged Network, Windows will obtain an address on the same subnet as the Mac, either via WiFi or Ethernet, and the menu allows you to select from which or Default, so it is possible to use say WiFi for Wan connectivity and Ethernet for whatever you doing with Toolbox.
?
However, in all the above options Windows will default to DHCP. So, if you want to discover devices on a particular subnet, especially if you don't have a DHCP server, you will want to dive into Windows and set a static IP address on the same subnet as the static address that you've set on your Ethernet adaptor (when you are in Bridged Network using an Ethernet adaptor). Don't forget to set it back to DHCP when you have finished or you'll wonder why you can connect to anything.?
?
As an aside, I've never has so much freedom with the M3 Mac, I can work all day on Crestron stuff without having to worry about know much battery is left, phenomenal.

Re: Toolbox on a Macbook Pro via Parallels

 

Oh, right on, great to know.? I either missed that possibility completely, or gave up before that became an option.

My long term favored solution has?just been to?dedicate a Windows machine for running Crestron software, and then control it on the MacBook from remote desktop (such as with Jump Desktop or another app that makes remoting into Windows as pleasant as possible).? Each thing I "must" use Windows for, generally gets its own dedicated laptop, or one of those cheap fanless mini-PC's you can get on Amazon with Windows pre-installed.
