Ember+ Interface 10
10. Ember+ Interface
Each device in the AVN portal series has an Ember+ provider interface
that exposes various configuration options. It also allows the GPIO, virtual
GPIO and the relay to be controlled and monitored by an external Ember+
consumer.
Connecting to The Ember+ Interface
The Ember+ interface is available on the AoIP network connection using
port 9000. The structure of the provider tree is similar to the system menu
on the front panel. Each of the configuration options are arranged in
branches grouped by function. Fig 10 1 shows a graphical representation of
the root structure.

The configuration options are presented as either string or integer types.
Where possible, integer type options are enumerated to indicate what
each of the available setting values are. A full list of the options and values
associated with each of the Ember+ parameters can be found in the
‘Parameter Value Specification’ sub-section of this handbook.
To read and write to the various parameters, the Ember+ protocol can be
used. The screenshots in this section are obtained using the Ember+ Viewer
tool which provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that can be used to
view and manipulate the various parameters that are made available in
the Ember+ provider tree. In Ember+ viewer, nodes are identified by a
blue dot and parameters are indicated by a green leaf icon. Parameters
whose names are shown in blue text can be modified by the user, all other
parameters are read only.
