Metaphase Technologies Metaphaser MP-LE1007, Operating Manual

Page: 30 / 35

Ethernet Commands:
Metaphaser
’s Default IP Address - 172.16.1.1
Users have the option of using MetaBOSS Software or the command list to communicate with the
Metaphaser via Ethernet. MetaBOSS requires a PC with Windows Operating System. The Ethernet commands
can be used with any device that supports Ethernet UDP communication.
* Ethernet Cross-over cable required for Ethernet communication if the Metaphaser is controlled directly from a PC. A standard
Ethernet patch cable is appropriate if connected on a network through Ethernet switches.
•The Ethernet commands are of the following format:
<2-byte Length> <1-byte Channel number> <1-byte Command> < 1-byte reserved>
<3-bytes of Data>
• All Commands are of 8-byte length. As such the first two bytes of all messages sent to the Metaphaser
should be 0x00 and 0x08
• All Data fields must be 3 bytes. It is suggested that unused data fields be filled with zeroes, though not
necessary, as the controller will simply ignore them
• Checksum – a Checksum is NOT included on the actual data and are relying on the checksum included in
the UDP packet. With UDP protocol the data is “wrapped” in an IP and UDP datagram, both having check-
sums. This building of the checksum is transparent and is taken care of by the base UDP stack software.
The next page lists the corresponding UDP commands used in the MetaBOSS Software.
