P132, P164, P232(U) and P332 RDS Encoders / Re: P164 IP assignment

There's nothing special about the network setup. In a general sense, Ethernet is not trivial.

After clicking on the Apply button the device indicates new configuration loading by blinking the Operation LED (- - - - - instead of . . . . . ) for about 10 seconds.  OK?

Then, the new configuration is active.

You can verify it by clicking on the ConfigTool button. This diagnostics tool uses UDP broadcast for searching the device so it shows up also in the case the device is not accessible due to incorrect IP etc.
If you cannot see the device in the ConfigTool, it is probably attached to different network or not attached at all (cable failure, auto-negotiation issue etc.).

For successful connection, the IP assignment must be within the local segment and correct connection mode must be set on both sides (client->server or server<-client). If you use a firewall, corresponding port and application must be included in the firewall exceptions. (For the default Windows firewall the Magic RDS installator does this automatically.) Special care must be taken for PC computers with multiple network adapters.

For further help with the network setup I would need more information/screenshots:
from the router: DHCP setup page, LAN setup page
from the Magic RDS: LAN setup, ConfigTool

I can seem to assign the unit IP address, either statically or set for DHCP and have the unit apply the settings, but I do not see the device upon scanning the network thereafter, and cannot then establish any connectivity outside of the USB/serial link with the MagicRDS software.  What information can you offer about the Port 2 configuration settings?

I'm certain the network hardware was working with the default static assignment when I pulled it form the box.  Apologies, but I am not sure what it is I am missing here..

What you actually need is an mp3 player driven by events. The silence detector is another kind of software, its purpose is different and I do not see an easy way how to adapt it.
24
An additional request: could I make "Silence Detector" have, as an alarm task, to make an MP3 that is currently playing out one output (that goes to headphones), also go out an additional output (that goes to external speakers)?  And when the silence ends, to stop going out that additional output?

I am trying to set up an installation in an art gallery where ideally, a certain music file will only play when there is sufficient silence, pause when there is too much noise, and continue from the paused point when silence returns.  Is there a way I can do this with "Silence Detector"?  I was so happy to find this app and hopeful when I figured out how to make it start the music with silence, and kill the MP3 player with noise.  But I don't want to restart the same music file from the beginning, but instead to continue it, when silence returns.   And also is there a way to cycle through different sound files, a different one each time silence occurs, or a different one depending on the time or day?

I can send metadata files to a Shoutcast server. How to do the same operation with an Icecast server?

The IP configuration is easy.

Using existing connection (either USB or Ethernet), go to Device Setup - LAN Settings in the Magic RDS 4.

Fill the network parameters as required and click on Apply button. After 10 seconds, the device is available on the network, with the new parameters applied. Existing IP connection is closed.

The device supports status via UDP broadcast, so in local network you can click on the ConfigTool button to see current status, e.g. current IP address assigned by DHCP. That is all.

Hardware watch-dog timer is available as well, if you enable the Fail-safe monitor. Whatever happens with the network, the device will always restore the connection once the network is operating again.

Older encoders should be updated to firmware version 2.2e to ensure compatibility with latest Magic RDS version.

We are not following the RDS2 progress in particular countries. As a manufacturer, we only guarantee compliance with latest IEC 62106 standard release. Not all countries have it implemented yet. We would recommend to consult that with national authority before going on-air with the station logo. I'm having some opinion but it may not be relevant.

P132, P164, P232(U) and P332 RDS Encoders / P164 IP assignment

Hello all,

I cannot seem to assign the IP address on this p164 device, or change the configuration to DHCP. 

I could connect to the device's web GUI in default config mode, after adding an address in the same network segment.

I then connected the device using USB/Serial and I can make changes, apply, read them back, and that all seems to work -I'm connected.  But upon changing the address, I do not connect if trying to use the IP address in the control software thereafter.  The web GUI likewise doesn't load and no response from a ping request.

I think I might be missing something with the Special WIZ network config button.. Or perhaps the "Connect to" must be populated with the PC I am trying to establish the connection with?

I'm missing something.  Any guidance you can offer is appreciated greatly.

Thanks!

Also, RDS2, can I flip this on in the United States now?
