ULC-2 Ethernet Command List
For users that do not want to use the MetaBOSS Software or the ULC-2 keypad, Metaphase provides
an Ethernet command list that can be embedded into users’ custom programs. All commands are UDP.
The default IP address of the ULC-2 is 172.16.1.1, but can be changed as described elsewhere in this
manual.
The ULC-2 port is 5000 (i.e. the destination port) and can listen for messages originating from any port
should port 5000 not be available on the Windows PC. Use the link below to access the complete com-
mand list on Metaphase Technologies’ website, located in the “file cabinet” at the bottom of the page:
