TCP Server
From DDUtilV3
General
The TCP/IP Server allows third party Ethernet clients to remotely control DDUtil_V3 functionality. The Server is not intended to replicate or replace the functionality of DDUtil, but is intended to allow users to operate the radio remotely the use of some critical functions. Some of these remote functions include:
- Turning Rotor to desired heading.
- Toggling Auto Drive PTT (Oper/Stby).
- Turning Amplifier power on/off for selected amplifiers.
- Toggling Amplifier Mode (Oper/Stby).
- Setting SteppIR yagi to Forward/Reverse mode.
- Executing Macros.
Setup
Connections are restricted to the Local Area Network (LAN) that DDUtil is connected to.
- Use the IP address of the host PC DDUtil is open on; i.e. 192.168.1.xxx.
- Use port 5678
Commands
The following commands are available for remote DDUtil control.
Notes:
- Commands must be input EXACTLY as shown below.
- All commands must be terminated with a CRLF (\r\n).
- ACK returns only guarantee the commands were sent, not that they actually worked.
- Rotor feedback is provided anytime the rotor moves whether initiated from this app, manually or some other manner.
- Separator characters can be any recognizable character. A colon (:) is suggested.
