4. Device Concept
4.8.3. TCP Recognizer
DIFFERENCE:
This feature is available only in UMX-TPS-TX140K and TX140-Plus models from FW
package v1.5.0b4.
The feature is almost the same as in case of the RS-232 but for the network interface: the incoming TCP
messages can be processed which may trigger actions. The combination of the TCP recognizer and the
Event Manager gives numerous opportunities for creating automatic room solutions.
TCP Recognizer Example
When the Projector switches off, the button light (1) of the TBP6-EU button panel is turned off automatically.
When the power-off process is started in the projector, it will send a message over Ethernet. That message
will be recognized by the Switcher and will be used as a Condition in Event Manager.
How to setup the transmitter?
Step 1. Configure the recognizer for the communication by the LDC, see the
LW3 protocol commands (see the
TCP client. (The Projector is saved as 'C1' in this example.)
Step 2. Create the following event in the Event manager:
E1. When the (PWR!001 "On") message is recognized from the C1 client, the GPIO pin 1 is set to
low level.
For more information about setting the events in LDC, see the
4.9. Basic IT Security

DIFFERENCE: This feature is available only in UMX-TPS-TX140K and TX140-Plus models from FW
package v1.5.0b4.
These entry-level network security improvements help to prevent unauthorized access to the Lightware
device: #new
▪
Cleartext login
▪ IP Port Block
▪
MAC Filtering
The Cleartext Login tool allows setting a password for login, thus, the device will not accept any command
coming from an interface (RS-232, Ethernet, etc...), only the device type and the serial number can be queried
without login. You can set all affected TCP/IP ports individually to enable or disable.

UMX-TPS-TX100 series – User's Manual
The IP Port Block feature is an additional protection for the Cleartext login. There are TCP/IP ports in
Lightware devices which are not protected by the login, so you can disable them if necessary. Example: due
to the working method of the LW2 communication, the Cleartext login does not provide protection when LW2
command is sent to the device, that is why the TCP port no.10001 shall be blocked manually.
Another level of security is the MAC Filtering tool. You can create an 'allowlist' of network devices based on
the MAC address which are allowed:
▪ Controlling the device (Send option), or
Querying parameters (Receive option) to/from the Lightware device.

ATTENTION!
Most of these features are available in LDC, see the
4.10. Batch Commands

DIFFERENCE:
v1.5.0b4.
These features can be used to process a group of pre-defined commands. The commands can be stored
in the device as macros or you can save the commands in a plain text file and send the device by an HTTP
message.
LW3 over HTTP (Command Salvo)
This feature allows the LW device to be controlled over HTTP. In this case, a batch of commands is sent
over HTTP to the Lightware device for processing. Save the LW3 commands into a file, post it to the
<IP_address>/protocol.lw3 file and the commands are processed immediately.
Running Macros
In this case, the command sequences (macros) are stored in the device. You can create your custom macros
in a file, upload into the device and run at any time. The number of the macros depends on the device type,
at most 50 macros can be saved in a UMX-TPS transmitter. See more information about the feature in the
Macros section.
