1.7 Configure and Save the WinP5PT.p5s script file to Support B573(s)
The “WinP5PT.exe” program must be told how to establish a link with the “B573_MC.exe” (B573 Media
Connector) program. Add (or verify it is already there) the following line to the “WinP5PT.p5s” script file to do
this:
$Media: B573 IP:localhost Port: 7002
The section in the WinP5PT.p5s script file where this line belongs immediately follows the commented section
that explains Media Connections as shown below:
;******************************************************
; There can be any number of Media Connection lines for
; the B572s or other devices connecting P5PT to the rooms.
; The Media: “IP: and “Port: are required fields.
; The "IP:" field is the address assigned to each device.
; One line in the script file is required for each media
; connection. The same format is used for the B572/MBX
;******************************************************
$Media: B573 IP: localhost Port: 7002
IMPORTANT
: Notice that no actual IP address for a B573 is defined in the “WinP5PT.p5s” script file. The
“WinP5PT.exe” program does not connect to the physical B573 hardware. The “WinP5PT.exe” program
connects to the “B573_MC.exe” program, which actually connects to the physical B573(s). Since both programs
run locally on the same computer , “localhost” is entered as the IP address.
Depending on the particular setup at the property, there may be one or more existing “$Media: …..” lines in the
WinP5PT.p5s script file.
a. If the property was using an older
B572
MBX to support TCT’s and you are replacing it with a new B573 MBX,
there will be a pre-existiing line in the Media section of the WinP5PT.p5s script file that defined the IP
address of the existing B572 MBX similar to:
$Media: B572 IP: XXX.XXX.XXX Port: 7002 (XXX.XXX.XXX is IP address of existing B572)
This line should be removed
and replaced with “$Media: B573 IP: localhost Port: 7002” as shown above.
b. If keeping the existing B572(s) and adding an additional B573 (or B573’s), leave any existing “$Media: B572
IP: XXX.XXX.XXX Port: 7002 “ lines and add a
SINGLE
“
$Media: B573 IP: localhost Port: 7002”
line to establish the link to the “B573_MC.exe” program.
For example:
; Media connection section with 2 B572 IP addresses defined and a SINGLE line item
; for the B573 to define WinP5PT.exe and B573_MC.exe link locally
;******************************************************************
$Media: B573 IP: localhost Port: 7002
$Media: B572 IP: 168.1.5.41 Port: 7002
$Media: B572 IP: 168.1.5.40 Port: 7002
IMPORTANT
:
•
Once you modify the "WinP5PT.p5s" script file, you must save it to the "C:\Inncom\Scripts" folder on the
Inncom server computer, and then shutdown and restart the “WinP5PT.exe” program (see note below) on the
Inncom server for the changes to take effect.
Note: Before manually shutting down the “WinP5PT.exe” program, check to see if the “Watchdog” program
has been installed on the computer and configured to restart the “WinP5PT.exe” program in case it is closed.
If that is the case, use “Watchdog” to restart the “WinP5PT.exe” program.
•
Make sure the network port defined in the “$
Media: B573 IP: localhost
Port: 7002
” line is in fact set to
“7002”.
