Ethernet Configuration 

 

Use DHCP 

Embedded DHCP client allows for automated configuration of the Ethernet parameters like IP 
address or DNS server. 
This option should be set to Yes. Choose No if you want to enter the parameters manually or if 
there’s no DHCP function contained in your network. 

Time synchronization 

Enable this option in order to keep the RDS encoder’s internal time accurate, using the SNTP 
server specified. 
Disable this option if internet is not accessible from your network or if there’s other time keeping 
method applied (for example via UECP commands). 

SNTP time server 

Fill an active SNTP server. 
Default value is 

time.nist.gov

 

Local time offset 

Your local time offset (the value added to UTC). 

Daylight saving transition rule 

Leave empty if there’s no daylight saving time applied in your country or if this function is not 
required.  
Follow the instructions in the document ‘P132 RDS Encoders - Communication Ports and 
Internet Functions’. 

 

UECP Settings 

 

UECP Enable/Disable 

Enable the UECP if your broadcast automation system or RDS data provider uses this protocol. 
Leave disabled otherwise. 

Site List 

Up to two site address numbers in range 0 to 1023, separated by comma. 

Encoder Address List 

Up to two encoder address numbers in range 0 to 63, separated by comma. 

Program 1/2 DSN 

The RDS encoder contains two independent programs (data sets). Selected program controls 
the output RDS data. Specifying the DSN (Data Set Number) for each program allows switching 
between two programs using appropriate UECP command. 
If only one program has to be on-air all the time, fill 255 as a DSN for both programs. This 
effectively disables the switching via UECP. 

Program 1/2 PSN 

Specifies the PSN (Program Service Number) for program set 1 or 2. 

 

Port 3 / Port 4 

 

Port 3/4 Enable 

Check this box to enable the port. 

Protocol 

Select the protocol regarding to the protocol that is used by the RDS data provider. If the 
protocol is not specified, it is probably TCP. 

Port number 

Fill the port number in range 1 to 65535. It must match the port number of the RDS data 
providing application. 

TCP Server/Client 

For TCP protocol, the user may specify if the RDS encoder is a server (waiting for a client 
application connection) or a client (actively connects to the specified RDS data providing server). 
If host name or IP address needs to be specified in the RDS data providing application, the RDS 
encoder will be a server (most frequent option). 
The server side must be visible in the network. In internet that means the server requires public 
IP address and/or correct port forwarding setting on router (if present). 

Host/IP address 

Available only if the encoder is configured as a client. Specifies the remote server the encoder 
will connect to. 

Prioritize new connections 

Available only if the encoder is configured as a server. If enabled, new connection can be 
established immediately, although previous connection has not yet been released. 
Requires firmware version 2.1e or later. Disabled by default. 

 

 

Note: The DSN and PSN settings have effect for UECP control only. Selectable DSN and PSN for each program set allow easier integration of 
the RDS encoder into existing networks.
