Send UDP Command with Cobalt 7.1.1 running on a Congo Console

Hello

we try to figure out to start a video on a Brightsign Mediaplayer with a simple UDP Command on Port 5000

The command ist just the number 1.

We have set the IP of the Console in the Settings.

And we set the IP where to send the Command and the Port under Showcontrol

But then what to do next?

We tried to put the command UDP 1 which is hopefully right in the Sequenz-List in the field "Macro-Aufruf", in English this is maybe Macro call or Macro execution.

But nothing happens, we tried to look with Wireshark whats comming but we see only multicast traffic.

Any help is appreciated. We can also use a COM Port but there is none on the backside of the Congo.

We have Connected the Networkcable on the Ethernet Port.

Thank you for any help

  • Solution:

    it is working now.
    The main problem was, that we are using the crossfader. And the UDP commands are not working with the crossfaders on our console and console version. Only if you use the GO key.
    To send UDP commands you can use
    Examples:
    UDP 1
    UDP 1\r
    UDP 1\n

    \r at the end means Carriage Return
    \n at the end means New Line

    Most devices require that you have a command and at the end a Carriage return.
