XCMD over UDP with PIRA332

(1/1)

metro187:
Hi,

I'm facing the following issue with a PIRA332 running firmware version 2.1g

I'm trying to control the RT1/RT+ messages using the X-Command interface.
As a test, I set up Port3 for TCP and Port4 for UDP.
To test, I set up two connections in MagicRDS4 and using the terminal to send the commands.

When using the UDP connection, the messages have severe limitations:

--- Code: ---XCMD=<rds><item><dest>3</dest><text><title>1234567890123456</title></text></item></rds>
+

XCMD=<rds><item><dest>3</dest><text><title>12345678901234567</title></text></item></rds>
Operation timed out

XCMD=<rds><item><dest>3</dest><text>123456789_123456789_123456789_1</text></item></rds>
+

XCMD=<rds><item><dest>3</dest><text>123456789_123456789_123456789_12</text></item></rds>
Operation timed out

XCMD=<rds><item><dest>3</dest><text><title>1</title><artist>2</artist></text></item></rds>
Operation timed out

XCMD=<rds><item><dest>3</dest><text><artist>12345678901234</artist></text></item></rds>
+

XCMD=<rds><item><dest>3</dest><text><artist>123456789012345</artist></text></item></rds>
Operation timed out

--- End code ---

So, title is supported up to 16 chars, artist is supported up to 14 chars, text without tags is supported up to 31 chars and title+artist is not supported.

If I send the "same" (even longer) updates through the TCP connection, all of them are successful, no length limitations:

--- Code: ---XCMD=<rds><item><dest>3</dest><text><title>1234567890123456</title></text></item></rds>
+

XCMD=<rds><item><dest>3</dest><text><title>123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_1234</title></text></item></rds>
+

XCMD=<rds><item><dest>3</dest><text><artist>123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_1234</artist></text></item></rds>
+

XCMD=<rds><item><dest>3</dest><text><title>123456789_123456789_123456789_12</title><artist>123456789_123456789_123456789_1</artist></text></item></rds>
+

XCMD=<rds><item><dest>3</dest><text><title>123456789_123456789_123456789_12</title><artist>123456789_123456789_123456789_1</artist></text></item></rds>
+

--- End code ---


Is this a known issue? Am I doing something wrong?

Jan:
Following bugs exist in the P132/P332 (other models are ok):

* All firmware versions: UDP communication mode supports 90 bytes of data at maximum per packet
* Firmware version 2.2i and 2.2j: Ethernet setup does not work using the embedded websiteBefore we release a fix, I would recommend to use TCP mode which is safe.

Hi Jan,
Thanks for the quick clarification!
