Lyngdorf MP-40 – External Control Manual
3
Introduction
The purpose of this document is to describe how the external control interface of the device
works.
Home Automation System Integration
The Lyngdorf Audio MP-40 is compatible with home automation systems via the RS232 and
network connectors on the rear socket panel. The MP-40’s IR and trigger connections can
also be programmed for use in a home automation system.
Control Via Network
Open a TCP connection on port 84 and use the control protocol as described in this
document. For control from a PC, use Telnet, Putty, or similar programs to open the TCP
connection.
If you do not know the IP address of the MP-40 on your local network, the MP-40 supports
Apple´s Bonjour Discovery service, which must be on the computer you want to set up the
MP-40 with. The software is built-in as part of the Apple OS X operating system. For
Windows operating systems, the software can be found at
http://www.apple.com/support/bonjour/
The control protocol is announced via bonjour as the service “slactrl”.
Pressing the “OK” button on the remote and toggling through the “Info” of the unit will also
display the current IP address of the unit.
The MP-40 can also be controlled via the network by accessing
http://mp40.local
in your
browser.
