Setting The Time Server; Control And Command Sessions - Polycom SoundStructure C16 Design Manual

If the mode is set to 'dhcp' then the remaining arguments are accepted but not used until the mode is set to
static. All arguments have to be sent if the address is being set to a static IP address.
To enable SoundStructure devices to accept a dynamic IP address use the command:
set eth_settings 1 "type='dhcp'"
where 1 represents the default device ID of a stand-alone SoundStructure device. Please note that there
are single quotes around the argument 'dhcp' and the entire argument string is enclosed in double quotes.
To query the IP settings of the device, use the get action as in the following example:
get eth_settings 1
val eth_settings 1 "mode='dhcp',addr='172.22.2.110',dns='172.22.1.1 172.22.1.2',
gw='172.22.2.254',nm='255.255.255.0'"
To set the address to a static IP address, follow this example:
set eth_settings 1 "mode='static',addr='172.22.2.110',dns='172.22.1.1 172.22.1.2',
gw='172.22.2.254',nm='255.255.255.0'"
All the arguments to the eth_settings command must be specified when the mode is set to 'static'.
Once the IP address settings have been changed, it is important to make sure that the project file settings
are saved to disk or a preset is saved because this will ensure the IP address of the SoundStructure device
is written permanently to the SoundStructure's non-volatile memory. Failure to save the file or save settings
to a preset will mean the IP address will revert back to the previously permanently saved IP address upon
a power cycle.
Note: Reconnecting SoundStructure Devices when IP Address Changes
If connected via IP to the SoundStructure device and the IP address is changed,
reconnect to the system using the new IP address and either save the settings to a
file or save the settings to a preset to ensure the new IP address is stored
permanently in the SoundStructure devices.

Setting The Time Server

To set the time server, use the command ntp_server as shown in the example below:
set dev_ntp_server 1 "pool.ntp.org"
val dev_ntp_server 1 "pool.ntp.org"
where 1 is the device ID of the SoundStructure. See Appendix A for more information on API commands
associated with the Ethernet interface.

Control And Command Sessions

SoundStructure systems are controlled and configured with the SoundStructure API command set via a
communication to port 52774.
The number of active TCP control sessions on port 52774 is unlimited subject to network bandwidth to
access the device.
