UDP Toolkit RTI Driver

Send UDP datagrams to any device. Wake-on-LAN, SSDP, mDNS, custom AV protocols. 50 commands + 80 feedbacks, browser-based web UI.

Send UDP datagrams to any device — Wake-on-LAN, broadcast scene triggers, sensor probes, custom AV protocols, SSDP/mDNS targets. Connectionless, low-latency. Same 50 commands + 80 feedbacks + Send + Capture web UI as the rest of the Toolkit Family. Configurable Local Port for receiving replies from devices that publish to well-known ports (1900 for SSDP, 5353 for mDNS, etc.).

Features: - Browser-based web UI on the processor (port 9032) — no other RTI driver has this - Live RX/TX traffic log — see every datagram to and from the target 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 Local Port for SSDP / mDNS / broadcast reply capture - .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 UDP/IP utility driver. Same architecture as the RS-232 and TCP Toolkit - just talks UDP datagrams instead. Pre-define up to 50 UDP 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 incoming UDP traffic and write to sysvars. Browser test page on port 9032 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

UDP Toolkit can run alongside RS-232 Toolkit, TCP 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 with UDP datagrams in ASCII text or binary bytes, including broadcast triggers and Wake-on-LAN style packets, where replies (if any) come back to a fixed, known port. No particular device is certified. Tested by Smart Home Programming against a UDP echo server that replies to a fixed port. 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

• Each send leaves from a different temporary source port (RTI platform behaviour). Replies are only received on the Local Port, so devices that answer to the sender's source port cannot be read back.
• UDP has no connection: Connection State shows whether the local socket is open, not whether the device is present. Use a feedback to confirm the device answers.
• One target host and port per driver instance.
• 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.
