5 - Setup file
Some functionalities are only accessible via a setup file. This file is a text file (raw text without page
setting ) that can be created with any easy text editor like «notepad» from windows or similar. On
saving, use «ANSI» coding . Do not use special characters.
This configuration file must be named : config.txt and have to be copied on SD/SDHC memory card or
USB flash drive and located at the root of the media.
If this file is missing, the factory setting values will be implemented by default.
The configuration file allows to make the following settings:
#ID:xxx
– Assign a number to the MicroPlayer mkII to use it with others players through RS232
#VOLUME:xx
– Define the output volume used on powering the player.
#POWER:x
– turn into «energy saving» mode when the player is not reading
#BAUDRATE:xxxx
– Modify the speed of the serial port RS232
#RS_MONITORING:x
– Configure the monitoring mode of the serial link RS232
#BOOT:xxxfonction
- Define the reading folder used when switch on the player
#INPUTxx:fonction
– Configure functions of the input contacts
#BUTTONx:fonction
– Assign other functions to the 2 front buttons.
Note: The command layout is made of «#» symbol, followed of a key word, followed by «:» symbol
and at last the associated value. The commands can be entered in the order you wish. If a command
is missing , the player will use by default the factory settings.
5.1 - Assign a device number - #ID:xxx
It is possible to make several MicroPlayer mkII coexist in a same installation and to make them communicate
amongst themselves from a main device through RS232. For this a number is assigned to each MicroPLayer
mkII among the choice of 127, meaning that 127 MicroPlayer mkII can be use in the same time (see chapter
6).
Command line :
#ID:xxx
xxx a number between 001 and 127
Example:
#ID:023 Assign number 23 to the choosen player
If the line is missing , the factory setting value by default is used , it has to say 001 to assign player
001.
Note: several player can have the same number. All the player having the same number will react
same time.
000 is a particular case and should not be used. When code 000 is sent through serial link, it means that
all the players react on command sent in an overall way.
5.2 - Output volume setting - #VOLUME:xx
On powering , it is possible to set the output volume level. This volume can be modified by the front
buttons, RS232 or infrared remote control.
The volume setting goes from 00 to 64, it means 64 steps.
00 is minimum volume setting ( mute) and 64 is the maximum volume setting.
