USING GPIO & DATA WITH ZEPHYR IPORT PLUS
Using the Associated Data Channels
Configuring the Data Channels
Zephyr iPort PLUS provides three unidirectional user data channels per each audio direction. These are provided
typically to transport metadata (artist, song title, album and related info) associated with each audio stream.
To configure these channels, go to the
Codec Configuration
page, click
Options
for the channel being set up. Scroll
to the bottom of that page and click
Data Channels.
Set the Protocol dropdown for TCP Server, TCP Client or UDP.
Enter the IP address along with the correct port on your computer where the metadata connects from your
automation system or other source.
Do the same for the other two channels if needed, and don’t forget to click
Apply
when you’re done. If everything is
working correctly, you should see the status change from
Not Established
to
Established.
