RDS300/RDS500/RDS1000 User Manual 3.10
Returns all configured information regarding the ethernet connection: MAC, IP, MASK, Gateway,
DHCP,PORT, FILTER, USER, WEB_SERVER.
If you want to change the PS string, just write the following command:
PS=<8 length >
Where n is any alphanumeric character or characters, up to 8 characters in length. And the command
for activating the RDS output of the RDS Encoder would read:
rds=<x>
Where x is either 1, which activates RDS, or 0, which disables the RDS output.
NOTE:
To submit the command you need to press <Enter>(These ascii symbols are accepted for end
of an ascii command : CR+LF,CR,LF)
To see what is currently configured you have to write the command followed by a question mark. For
example:
PI?
The RDS Encoder must return as a response the configured PI code. For example: PI=0000.
NOTE:
After you hit <Enter> the unit will respond with a plus sign if it accepts the new configuration
command and an exclamation mark if the command is not acceptable.
4.2.
COMMUNICATING VIA TCP/IP
The most intuitive way to set up the RDS Encoder is to access the embedded website through a
TCP/IP connection. You can do this through a hub, switch, or router using standard LAN and Ethernet
protocols, or you can connect your computer directly to the RDS Encoders Ethernet port.
NOTE:
To connect a computer directly to the RDS Encoder, you must use a ‘crossed’ Ethernet cable,
and the computer’s IP address must be in the same range as the RDS Encoders. Meaning the first
three groups of numbers in the IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) must be the same! (right by default).
To connect to the embedded website, open an Internet browser (IE, Mozilla, Netscape, etc) and
enter the IP address of the RDS Encoder. The default address as shipped from the factory is
192.168.2.3
, but you may alter that as you wish. You can change the IP address through the website
page or with the command:
IP=<xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
After you hit <Enter> the unit will respond with the plus sign. Then enter the command ‘reset’ (or
cycle the power) and the RDS Encoder will reboot with the new IP address active.
NOTE:
The new IP will not be active until the unit is restarted. If you have changed the IP using a
Telnet session, you will have to reopen a new session at the new IP address.
