    preset trigger via serial input

    Hi Does anybody know that can I trigger presets by serial input? I need to trigger preset from serial controller like amx/cue etc.

    Can you send a TCP command from the AMX system directly over network?
    refer to the Catalyst webserver for details how to do this or the notes in the Custom serial commands.

    Otherwise if you can do it via a MIDI command, but by using an RS232 interface...
    MIDI commands can be sent over RS232 - its just HEX data...
    Configure the MIDI input trigger to work, but just select an RS232 interface rather than a MIDI interface
    Then write the MIDI HEX data command to send from your AMX control system.

    Have done both methods a while ago - but not tested recently.

    We can send TCP commands, so if i good understand i need to send from controler command to port 8080 "commands/?RunPreset=1" or just "?RunPreset=1" or something else?

    You need to send the entire HTTP message including the port number. This will be like so:

    http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:8080/commands/?RunPreset=#
    SourceChild
    TODD SCRUTCHFIELD

    ...if it ain't broke...
    gimme 5 and then don't act surprised

    OK, I understand, that is all http command.
    My last question is:
    Can catalyst receive command "run presets" via TCP command? If yes, how i can make that?
