Retrieving IR Files From the UDM Ports
1.
Run your TFTP client. If using the Windows client, move to step 2.
2. Create a folder on the C: drive named RX.
3. Browse the new RX folder with your TFTP client.
4. At the command prompt, type the following command to retrieve an IR/Serial file from the
UDM Receiver connected to port 1:
C:\RX\ TFTP –i <ip address of hub> get iname.001 <enter>
Example:
C:\RX\ TFTP –i 192.168.0.96 get isony.001 <enter>
5. To get a file off the RX connected to port 16 use this command:
C:\RX\ TFTP –i 192.168.0.96 get isony.016 <enter>
The file name you create must start with an “i” and end in an extension from .001 to .016.
6. To put the file onto another RX unit on the same hub you must first copy the newly created file to all
extensions (.001 - .016), or at least the extension of the port to which the RX is connected.
C:\RX\ copy isony.001 isony.002 <enter>
7. Repeat for other extensions:
C:\RX\ copy isony.001 isony.003 <enter>
C:\RX\ copy isony.001 isony.004 <enter>
8. Use the put command to send to the RX units on the other hub ports that need the IR/Serial file.
C:\RX\ TFTP –i 192.168.0.96 put isony.002 <enter>
Once an IR protocol has been learned for a specific port, it can simply be copied across to other
ports using the TFTP application and the network port. To copy an IR protocol to another port:
9. Create a directory or folder on the PC to store the protocol file. For example, create
C:\UDM\Protocol
10. You must GET the IR file from the Receiver via the hub. IR files all start with an I and use a file
extension to indicate number. These could therefore take the form isonymode1.001, IRtable.001 etc.
11. At the command prompt use the following command:
TFTP –I [IP address of hub] GET irtable.hub
Backing up the Hub Configuration File
1.
Run your TFTP client. If using the Windows client, move to step 2.
2. Start a command session on the PC. Change to the directory where the Hub Protocol file is to be
stored on the PC:
e.g. cd\udm and cd\protocol.
3. Type in the following command at the prompt, observing the parameters below:
TFTP -i [IP address] get ixxxxx.hub or TFTP -i [IP address] get sxxxxx.hub
Where ixxxxxx.hub is the name of the hub configuration file.
The file name must start with an i or an s.
Entering the extension ".hub" will download the hub configuration file, which will
capture such data as the input configuration, setup information, input and port
names, and the protocol files. The same file is used for serial (s) or IR (i) protocols.
