eBOX GPI8 Client Mode
When the eBOX GPI8 is set to client mode, it actively attempts to
connect to another eBOX GPI8 in server mode. The IP address
and TCP port of the eBOX GPI8 is set by DIP switches 1, 2 and 3.
Note: The eBOX GPI8 must be power cycled to switch to this mode.
GPI to Ethernet Conversion
When the eBOX GPI8 is in GPI to Ethernet Conversion Mode, it
converts GPI inputs into Ethernet messages specifically for Doremi
V1 and MCS video servers. The IP address of the eBOX GPI8 is
set by DIP switches 1, 2 and 3 plus one. The TCP port is fixed at
8000. The eBOX GPI8 GPI Programmer Software allows you to
edit and upload the commands that are sent when GPI inputs are
triggered.
When the eBOX GPI8 operates as a GPI to Ethernet Converter, it
will send to the Doremi server status requests on a periodic basis.
Replies from the server will be used to establish the state of some
of the GPI Output pins, acting as tally lines. Refer to the section
regarding GPI Outputs in GPI Conversion Modes.
Note: The eBOX GPI8 must be power cycled to switch to this mode.
