TCP Toolkit RTI Driver

Drive any TCP/Telnet device. Configurable connect handshake for ESC/VP.net etc. 50 commands + 80 feedbacks, ships with Epson projector sample config.

Drive any TCP/Telnet device — modern projectors, AVRs, matrix switchers over IP, automation hubs, lighting bridges. NEW in v1.08: configurable connect-handshake bytes for devices that require a binary greeting before accepting commands (Epson ESC/VP.net on port 3629, Sony / NEC variants). Auto-reconnect on link drop, configurable RX framing (LF/CR/CRLF/Custom hex). Ships with a real Epson projector .driverconfig — 50 commands and 14 feedbacks pre-wired for power/source/volume/lamp/aspect, paste your projector's IP and you are driving a projector in 2 minutes.

Features: - Browser-based web UI on the processor (port 9031) — no other RTI driver has this - Live RX/TX traffic log — see every byte to and from the device in real time - Send + Capture — fire a query, click capture, the feedback pattern auto-populates from the device's actual response. Saves time - 50 commands + 80 feedbacks (20 Boolean + 20 Integer + 20 String + 20 Enum) - Configurable connect-handshake bytes for Epson ESC/VP.net, Sony, NEC and similar variants - Auto-reconnect on link drop - Configurable RX framing: LF / CR / CRLF / Custom hex - .driverconfig export/import — share config between sites, version-control device profiles - 15-minute trial mode — try it on real gear before buying - MAC per licence — locked to a single processor MAC, no DRM phone-home

Introduction

A general-purpose TCP/IP utility driver. Same architecture as the RS-232 Toolkit - just talks TCP instead of RS-232. Pre-define up to 50 TCP commands your macros can fire as "Send Slot N", and independently pre-define up to 80 feedback patterns (20 Boolean + 20 Integer + 20 String + 20 Enum) that watch the incoming TCP stream and write to sysvars. Browser test page on port 9031 for ad-hoc command entry, live capture, and per-feedback authoring.

Driver Features

Commands (TX)

Set "Number of Commands" (0-50). Each command exposes its own settings category: Display Name, Data Format (ASCII or Hex), Command Data, Terminator.

Macros call commands by export name "SendSlot1" through "SendSlot50". Each fires a "SLOTN_SENT" event when used.

Feedbacks (RX)

Four feedback types, 20 of each. Match incoming RX patterns, write to sysvars. Boolean (ON + OFF), Integer (prefix extracts first int), String (prefix captures full RX), Enum (pattern-to-label list, first match wins).

Author via IDesign Driver Properties OR the web UI's per-tile gear icon. Web UI Send + Capture authors patterns from live device replies.

Multiple Toolkit drivers on one processor

TCP Toolkit can run alongside RS-232 Toolkit, UDP Toolkit, and HTTP Toolkit on the same RTI processor. Each driver:

• Has its own unique driver GUID
• Defaults to a different Web Interface port (9030 = RS-232, 9031 = TCP, 9032 = UDP, 9033 = HTTP)
• Uses its own licence seed (separate keys per driver)
• Has its own sysvars, events, and macro picks in IDesign

Supported Devices

Any device controlled over a raw TCP socket with ASCII text or binary bytes - projectors, AV receivers, matrix switchers, DSPs, automation gateways and Telnet-style interfaces without a login prompt. No particular device is certified. Tested by Smart Home Programming against a TCP echo server and an Epson ESC/VP.net-style handshake. Test the trial against your own device before buying a key.

System Requirements

• Integration Designer - 11.4 or above
• RTI processor - XP-8 class (XP-3 / XP-6 / XP-6s / XP-8 / XP-8s / XP-8v)
• Processor script runtime - 24 or above

Limitations

• One TCP connection (one host and port) per driver instance. Load the driver again for a second device.
• Telnet option negotiation and login prompts are not handled; the device must accept raw commands once connected.
• For a multi-byte custom receive delimiter, only the last byte is used to split messages.
• Enum pattern lists longer than about 250 characters may not survive a reboot. Keep lists short.
• Settings cannot be changed while the driver is running: edit Driver Properties and send the project again.
• The trial restarts each time the driver is loaded.
