UDM-0404 Multi-Format Distribution Hub
Overview
The UDM-0404 Endeleo Multi-format Distribution Hub (FG-UDM-0404C) delivers any video source,
including Component, RGB, VGA and S-Video to a virtually unlimited number of display devices
(FIG. 1).
FIG. 1 UDM-0404
The UDM-0404 supports four high-resolution input ports and four UDM output ports, and supports
multiple methods of delivering sync information between the UDM Hub and the display device,
including common mode.
The UDM-0404 delivers media over easily-installed, dedicated Cat5/5e/6, which de-couples distribution
of the media from the corporate backbone. Users can quickly switch and transmit any video source to the
display device, power on/off display devices, and permission user control to select and play video
sources and media servers on demand.
The UDM-0404 offers four high-resolution input ports on the back of each unit. In total, the UDM-0404
system can distribute any combination of the following: four RGBHV sources, four Component video
sources, four S-Video sources or 12 Composite video sources.
Source inputs to the UDM are industry standard VGA, Composite, Component or S-Video feed, and
output is presented as an RJ45 port for connection to Cat5, 5e or 6 twisted-pair Ethernet cable.
Video inputs are connected via the HD15 Input connector on the rear of the UDM. Adapters are used to
bring the different types of video source into the UDM. See the Audio & Video Formats/Resolutions/
Distance section on page 9 for tested and confirmed distances.
Each UDM has an Ethernet network port to provide connectivity to a central management system, or can
be controlled by the onboard configuration pages. A Serial connection is also provided for CLI
administration and diagnostic purposes.
Features
4 multi-format inputs x 4 outputs
Supports multiple methods of delivering sync, including Common Mode Sync delivery
Digital audio support
Central device control
1U rack-mounting
Compatibility
The UDM-0404 is compatible for use with UDM-RX01 (FG-UDM-RX01) and UDM-RX02
(FG-UDM-RX02) Receivers.
Common Mode Sync delivery is supported only on the UDM-RX02.

Installation
Overview
The UDM-0404 occupies a single rack space in a standard 19" equipment rack. Rack-mounting brackets
and screws are located in the accessories box supplied with the UDM-0404.
Exercise extreme care when lifting or moving the UDM-0404 within the rack to avoid
injury. It is recommended that you seek the assistance of another person when rack
mounting the 0404.
1. Attach the rack-mounting brackets to each side of the UDM-0404 using four M4 screws for each
bracket (FIG. 2).
FIG. 2 Attach the mounting brackets to each side of the UDM-0404
To prevent injury the UDM-0404 must be securely attached to the rack in accordance
with the installation instructions.
ALWAYS use the special rack mount brackets supplied and high quality fixing screws
to ensure the UDM-0404 is installed in the rack correctly.
2. Place the UDM-0404 in the rack and hold steady.
3. Two fixing holes are supplied on each side of the UDM-0404. Secure the UDM-0404 into the rack
using the fixing holes (FIG. 3).
Installation

TX (IR Transmit) Ports
A maximum of two IR devices (such as DVD players or VCRs) can be connected to the UDM via the
3.5mm stereo TX ports (TX1/2 and TX3/4) on the rear panel (see FIG. 5 on page 6), and controlled via
the WebConsole or remote control.
IR devices controlled via the TX ports are typically installed within the same
equipment rack as the UDM.
An IR02 Endeleo IR Splitter Cable (FG-IR02) can be used on each of the TX ports to allow using 2
devices per port.
If only two devices are connected to the TX ports:
Connecting an IR Device to an IRTX Port
To issue IR commands to the display device such as power on or power off, an IR01 Endeleo IR Emitter
Module (FG-IR01) is needed:
TX1/2 – Transmits IR commands to Device 1.
TX3/4 – Transmits IR commands to Device 2.
FIG. 7 IR01 Endeleo IR Emitter Module
Ensure the position of the device corresponds to the position assigned in the Devices
option of the UDM-0404’s WebConsole.
1. Connect the IR Emitter Module cable to the appropriate IRTX port on the UDM-0404.
2. Run the other end of the cable to the display device, and attach the IR Emitter over the device’s IR
sensor by removing the cover on the reverse side of the IR Emitter.
3. The UDM-0404 is now capable of issuing IR commands to the display device.
IR commands for each device on the system have to be learned by the UDM-0404 in order to function
properly. Refer to the Creating and Learning an IR Protocol section on page 62 on how to learn a
device’s IR commands.

1600x1200 UXGA 120 m / 400’ 300 m / 1000’ *
* When using VGA modes with audio enabled, the maximum cable distance is
approximately 200 m / 650’ (UDM-RX02).
It is important to note that the maximum distances indicated above are not absolute, but are
recommended distances that have been tested to deliver video at the specified resolutions, without
significant signal degradation. In particular, lower resolutions (640 x 480, 720 x 480 and 800 x 600) can
often be delivered significantly further than what is indicated in the table.
Several factors affect the overall quality of the displayed video, including the quality of the twisted pair
cable and connectors used, the nature of the video image itself, as well as the particulars of the
installation and how the video is displayed and viewed.
Two major factors affect the quality of signal transmission include:
Cable Distance: Naturally, long distances cable runs (in excess of 300 meters/1000 feet) are
always subject to resistance and capacitance losses which can negatively impact the quality of
the image.
Skew: "Skew" represents the slight delay that results from the variation in wiring lengths for
each of the twisted pairs. The effects of skew on A/V signals increases with cable length.
Excessive skew can adversely affect video image quality, especially at long cable lengths and
high signal resolutions.
UDM Hubs allow you to compensate brightness, sharpness and skew delay via options in the Status page
of the UDM’s built-in WebConsole (see the Video Compensation section on page 25).

Audio & Video Formats/Resolutions/Distance
Refer to the Audio & Video Formats/Resolutions/Distance section on page 9.
Video Compensation
Video at the Receive end can be compensated using three main methods;
Using the UDM Hub’s WebConsole.
Using the UDM-RC02 Multi-Format IR Remote Control.
Using a hyper terminal session via the serial connector on the UDM Receiver (especially
effective setup method when using long runs).
Connecting an External IR Receiver Module
If passthrough mode (where a device such as a DVD or VCR can be controlled via a remote control) is
required then an IR03 External IR Receiver Module will be needed to pick up IR controls from the
remote control.
Additionally, if the UDM Receiver is to be compensated via a remote control, then an IR Receiver
Module is also needed.
Connecting the UDM Receiver to the UDM Hub
The RJ45 port on the front panel of the UDM Hub labelled “UDM” supports one UDM Receiver. The
UDM Receiver is then be connected to a display device.
1. Connect a standard Cat5/6 Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port labelled UDM on the front panel of the
UDM Hub.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port labelled UDM Hub on the rear panel of
the UDM Receiver.
Ensure the port the UDM-RX01/RX02 is attached to is configured correctly within the
Status option of the WebConsole (for example, if a UDM Receiver is connected to the
Hub, ensure the port in the Status option is configured likewise.
UDM HUB Port LEDs
2 LEDs are visible at the UDM Hub port (on the UDM-RX01/RX02) when the UDM Hub is switched
on:
Green – Connection to UDM Hub (if Cat 5 removed, LED switches off).
Amber – Power (as well as comms if uploading protocols etc. the Amber LED may flicker).
Powering on the UDM-RX02
As a Class 1 appliance, ensure the device is connected to a main socket outlet with a
protective grounding connection.
The UDM-RX02 may be powered by its hub device through a standard CAT5 cable, but it may also be
powered through an optional 24 VDC power supply (FG-UDM-PS) intended to augment power for very
long cable runs.
To connect the UDM Receiver to the optional power supply, insert the barrel connector of the power
supply into the power connector on the UDM Receiver (see FIG. 12 on page 16).
To power down the UDM-RX02, remove the barrel connector of the power supply from the power

Configuration - Schedule Page
Overview
The UDM-0404 features an on-board clock that allows you to create scheduled events to be executed at a
predetermined time in the future. Scheduled events are listed on the Schedule page (FIG. 51), but are
created using options in both the Status and Devices pages, as described in this section.
Configuration - Schedule Page
FIG. 51 Schedule page
You can create and store up to 16 scheduled events.
There are several basic types of scheduled events:
Scheduled IR Device Controls - Use the Schedule options in the Devices page to schedule
events to be executed at specified times on IR-controlled devices connected to the IRTX (IR
Transmit) Ports on the rear panel (see the TX (IR Transmit) Ports section on page 8). For
example, you could create a scheduled device event that causes the devices connected to TX
Ports 1-4 to power-up and/or power-down at scheduled times each day.
See the Scheduling IR Device Control Events section on page 48 for details.
Scheduled Output Device Control - Use the Schedule options in the bottom toolbar of the
Status page to schedule events to be executed at specified times on display devices connected
to the RJ-45 Output ports on the front panel (see the OUTPUT Ports (RJ-45) section on
page 5). For example, you could create a scheduled port control event that causes the display
devices connected to Outputs 1-4 to power-up and/or power-down at scheduled times each
day.
See the Scheduling Output Device Control Events section on page 51 for details.
Scheduled Input Controls - Use the Schedule options in the top toolbar of the Status page to
schedule inputs (devices connected to the Input connectors on the rear panel of the UDM) to
be displayed on specific Ports (via the UDM receivers connected to the Output ports on the
front of the UDM) at specified times. For example, you could create a scheduled input event
that causes the device connected to Input A to automatically display on Port 1 every day at
9:00am.
See the Scheduling Inputs section on page 53 for details.

Updating the UDM Receiver With the Serial Protocol
The UDM-RX02 Receiver which will issue the relevant serial commands to the device must be
connected to the UDM-0404’s relevant port (via Cat5/e/6 cable). Once the Serial Protocol and
commands have been created, follow these steps to update the connected UDM Receiver with the new
protocol:
Remember the serial commands are stored within the UDM Receiver.
1. On the Status page (see FIG. 15 on page 23), click on the port number (hyperlink) to which the
serial device is attached. This invokes the Port Configuration options for the selected Port.
It is the Endeleo Receiver which will issue the serial command over the serial cable
connected between the Receiver and the device.
2. Click on the Protocol drop-down menu (FIG. 89).
Select the Serial protocol to
download to the UDM Receiver
connected to this Port
FIG. 89 Port Configuration options - Protocol drop-down menu
3. Select the Serial protocol which this UDM Receiver will download. This may take a few minutes
depending on how many commands are within the protocol.
4. A message will appear saying “Loading Protocol – Please wait”. Once this has disappeared the
Serial protocol has been downloaded to the UDM Receiver. Commands can now be sent from the
Hub WebConsole to the serial device.
A new table for this device’s Serial control is what is actually being created. When the
administrator decides to create further commands particular to this serial device they
will be stored within this table e.g power off, power on. If new commands are to be
created in future ensure the correct Serial Protocol has been selected before defining
new commands to ensure commands are stored in the correct table. There is one
protocol/table per UDM Receiver.

Creating and Learning an IR Protocol
IR protocols can be learned by the UDM-0404 by using the device’s remote control to program its
commands into the UDM-0404. This is performed via options in the Protocols page.
The device’s own remote control can still be used locally at the device to control the
device.
The UDM-0404 can learn between 8 and 25 IR commands, depending on the command length and
protocol used.
IR Learning with a Device’s Remote Control
In the Protocol page, open the IR protocol drop-down menu, and select New (FIG. 90).

twice (i.e the same remote control command needs to be repeated at Step 2).
Updating the UDM Receiver With the IR Protocol
A UDM-RX01/02 Receiver, which will issue the relevant IR commands to the device,
must be connected to the relevant port via a Cat5/e/6 cable. Remember the IR
commands are stored within the Receiver.
1. Ensure the Infrared Protocol has been created previously.
2. Click on the Status page.
3. Click on the port number hyperlink which the device is attached to. It is the Receiver which will
transmit the IR command to the devices IR interface.
4. Once the port properties become visible click on the arrow to the right of the Protocol field.
5. Select the IR protocol which this Receiver will download. This may take a few minutes depending
on how many commands are within the table.
6. A message will appear saying “Loading Protocol – Please wait” once this has disappeared the IR
protocol has been downloaded to the RX device. IR commands can now be sent from the Hub Web
pages to the device.
Testing Serial Control Commands
Device serial codes can be tested via options in the Status page, before they are added to the protocol
library.
Serial commands are stored in the UDM-RX02, and care should be taken to keep any
serially programmed units associated with the correct display device type.
The UDM-RX02 can store approximately eight serial commands per device, depending on the length of
the serial string.
1. On the Status page. click on a Port hyperlink to access the Port Configuration options.

Copying the Hub Configuration File
Copying the Hub Configuration file permits the Administrator to make backups of key data entered by
Administrators, such as Input names, Port names, Devices and the Hub setup.
Windows XP Pro has a built in TFTP client program. If you are using another
operating system, or have an alternate TFTP client, follow the directions of your OS
and install TFTP client if necessary. Consult with AMX Technical Support as to the
appropriate client for your OS.
Create a directory or folder on the PC to store the configuration file. For example, create
C:\UDM\Config.
To backup 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 Configuration file is to
be stored on the PC:
e.g. cd\udm and cd\config.
3. Type in the following command at the prompt, observing the parameters below:
TFTP -i [IP address] get hxxxxx.hub
Where hxxxxxx.hub is the name of the hub configuration file.
The file name must start with an h.
If the name of the Hub Configuration file is not known, typing in h followed by any logical
characters will find the file, as only one file beginning with h is in the UDM-0404.
Use a name that will identify the hub configuration file for the project. For example,
hmyproject.hub is an acceptable name.
4. When complete, close the command window.
Restoring the UDM-0404 Configuration File
Run your TFTP client. If using the Windows client, move to step 2.

For example, type TFTP –i 192.168.0.96 PUT R26201610800.002 to upload the file to port 2 on
the UDM-0404 with IP address 192.168.0.96.
Copying Protocols Between UDM Receivers
Once protocols have been learned by the Hub through the Web browser, they will remain on the Hub.
Protocols are assigned to individual UDM Receivers (UDM-RX01) by using the Web interface pages.
The protocols can be transferred between UDM-0404s by using the TFTP file transfer utility.
All learned protocols are stored in the hub in a file starting with either an i or an s.
Windows XP Pro has a built in TFTP client program. If you are using another
operating system, or have an alternate TFTP client, follow the directions of your OS
and install TFTP client if necessary. Consult with AMX Technical Support as to the
appropriate client for your OS.
Retrieving IR Files From the UDM Ports
Run your TFTP client. If using the Windows client, move to step 2.
1.
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 4 use this command:
C:\RX\ TFTP –i 192.168.0.96 get isony.004 <enter>
The file name you create must start with an “i” and end in an extension from .001 to .004.
6. To put the file onto another Receiver on the same hub you must first copy the newly created file to
all extensions (.001 - .004), or at least the extension of the port to which the RX is connected.
C:\RX\ copy isony.001 isony.002 <enter>
70
UDM-0404 4x4 Multi-Format Distribution Hub
Advanced Administration
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
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.
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.
If the name of the Hub Protocol file is not known typing in i or s followed by any logical characters
will find the file, as there is only one protocol file in the UDM-0404.
A file name starting with either i or s will retrieve that file. Use a name that will identify the protocol
file for the project. For example: imyprotocol.hub is an acceptable name.
4. When complete, close the command window.
Restoring 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 Configuration 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] put ixxxxx.hub
-or-
TFTP -i [IP address] put sxxxxx.hub
Where ixxxxxx.hub is the name of the hub protocol file.
All hub protocol file names start with an i or s.
4. When complete, close the command window.
5. When the protocol file is restored, it will usually automatically associate correctly with the
configuration file when it is restored. However, it is wise to check each UDM port using the Web
interface to verify the correct protocol is assigned.

UDM Hub Control Protocol
Overview
The information in this section applies to UDM-0404, UDM-1604 and UDM-1604C
Hubs.
The UDM Hub often forms part of a larger system where control of switching and management functions is
provided by an external system (for example, AMX or Crestron controllers).
This section describes the protocol for communications between the management software and the UDM hub
using either a 10BaseT network connection or a SLIP encapsulated serial stream to the console port. It also
describes (where applicable) the commands usable by a user with a terminal connection to the console port.
Unless otherwise specified, all data and command values are shown in decimal
(base 10).
UDP (Ethernet) vs SLIP (RS-232) Communication
The UDM hub communicates over a 10BaseT connection using UDP packets or over a serial link using UDP
packets encapsulated using SLIP. In both cases, the UDM hub accepts a set of command and data values to
carry out various actions, which are detailed in this section.
These command and data values are encapsulated in a frame for transmission from the host to the hub. In most
cases this encapsulation will be provided by the host software, but in the case of simple SLIP commands, it
might have to be supplied by the customer software or driver.
By default, the UDM Hub is configured for UDP (Ethernet) communication.
To use SLIP (RS-232) communication, the Authenticate SLIP option on the Setup web
configuration page must be enabled (FIG. 105):
UDM Hub Control Protocol
FIG. 105 Setup Page - Authenticate SLIP option enabled
By default, the Authenticate SLIP option is disabled, which precludes the use of
RS-232 communication on the Hub.
Beyond enabling the Authenticate SLIP option shown in FIG. 105, the crucial difference between UDP and
SLIP commands is that SLIP commands must be encapsulated with:
SEND_STRING UDM, "$C0"
UDM-0404 4x4 Multi-Format Distribution Hub
79
UDM Hub Control Protocol
For example:
BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP,3] // POWER TV
{
PUSH:
{
SEND_STRING UDM,"$C0" // SLIP command
wait 2
SEND_STRING UDM,"87,$01,$01,$01,$02,21"
wait 4
SEND_STRING UDM, "$C0" // SLIP command
}
}
The waits used in the example above are not required.
By comparison, the equivelant code written for UDP would be:
BUTTON_EVENT[dvTP,3] // POWER TV
{
PUSH:
{
SEND_STRING UDM,"87,$01,$01,$01,$02,21"
}
}
Command Format
UDM commands consist of a command value, together with a number of relevant parameters (normally 6
bytes in total) which are transmitted to the hub, generally described as follows:
Byte #0123456..n
Byte value Command
value
User
defined
Data value 1 Data value 2 Data value 3 Data value 4 Other data
for some
commands
The data packet returned by any command may be longer than described - any additional data in a packet may
be ignored. Some endeleo tools and diagnostics use this extra information, but it is not required for control
purposes
Command and Reply Example - Port Connection
Command values differ for each command as do the values and length of the accompanying data.For example,
to connect port 1 to VGA input 2 on the UDM the command format is as follows:
Byte # 0 1 2 3 4 5
Byte value 1 User defined Port Input Sub Input Input Type
So the data values which must be sent to the hub would be:
Byte # Value Description
0 1 Command value for Connect Input to Port
1 0 User defined - can be any value - this first byte is normally replaced in the reply with a
2 1 Port number
3 2 Input number
4 1 Sub input number (for a VGA input all sub inputs are used in the connection so this value
5 0 VGA type (other types are listed in the command description later in the document)
Status value, other User defined values are just returned unaltered in the reply from the
hub and can be used for checking etc
is not used - it is only important when specifying connections for composite input types)
80
UDM-0404 4x4 Multi-Format Distribution Hub
UDM Hub Control Protocol
The hub replies to all commands, and the reply format are also detailed in this document. For the switching
command described above, the reply would be:
Byte # 0 1 2 3 4 5
Byte value 1 Status Port Input Selected Sub Input Input Type
The reply packet starts with the command value, then a Status value (1 for success, other values are listed in
section 6.0).
The remainder of the reply varies by command, in this case the original parameters are returned, but these may
normally be ignored.
Command and Reply Example - Authentication (Login)
Since the host has to login to the hub before any commands can be executed, this serves as another example.
To login, the command format is as follows:
Byte # 0 1 2 3..n
Byte value 98 User defined Password length Password string
So, assuming a password of 'admin', the data values which must be sent to the hub would be:
Byte # Value Description
0 98 Command value for login
1 0 User defined - can be any value - this first byte is normally replaced in the reply with a Status
value, other User defined values are just returned unaltered in the reply from the hub and can
be used for checking etc
2 5 Length of password string
3 97 First character in password ('a' has an ASCII value of 97 decimal)
4 100 Second character in password ('d' has an ASCII value of 100)
5 109 Third character in password ('m' is ASCII 109)
6 105 Fourth character in password ('i' is ASCII 105)
7 110 Fifth character in password ('n' is ASCII 110)
The hub replies to all commands, and the reply format are also detailed in this document. For the login
command described above, the reply would be:
Byte # 0 1 2 3 4 5
Byte value 98 Status Undefined Undefined Undefined Undefined
The reply packet starts with the command value, then a Status value (1 for success, 70 for incorrect password).
The remainder of the reply varies by command, in this case the original parameters are returned, but these may
normally be ignored.
UDP Over Network (10BaseT) Encapsulation
If the UDM hub is connected using the 10BaseT network connection, then the commands must be sent over
that network. For the network to operate correctly, these commands must be encapsulated in a network packet.
This is normally done transparently by the host software.
The hub communicates over a 10BaseT network over UDP port 2008.
UDM Over Serial Port (SLIP) Encapsulation
The UDP packets may also be transported over a serial connection to the serial port on the hub. The UDP data
is transferred using SLIP (Serial line internet protocol) encapsulation. This scheme is defined in RFC1055, and
involves framing the UDP data using special characters and substitution of special sequences when data may
include the framing characters.
A brief description follows:
Begin and end the data by adding a character with value 192
If the data contains 192 as a valid data value, substitute with the sequence 219, 220
If the data contains the value 219, substitute with sequence 219, 221
UDM-0404 4x4 Multi-Format Distribution Hub
81
UDM Hub Control Protocol
The following example shows SLIP encoding for a UDP packet, showing the start and end characters (192)
and substitution of special sequences when the data includes the start and end characters:
Responses which are SLIP framed will require decoding at the host.
SLIP Serial Communication Example
Typically, host systems may not provide support for SLIP encapsulation, so the host must use the normal
mechanism for sending serial characters, and add the encapsulation. For most commands, this just consists of
adding a 192 character to the beginning of the serial command and one at the end.
For example, assuming that the host has a function call to send a serial character of SendChar() (this will vary
from system to system), then the switching example in 1.2 above would become:
SendChar(192); // send begin character
SendChar(1); // send command value
SendChar(0); // send first parameter (user defined)
SendChar(1); // send second parameter (port number)
SendChar(2); // send third parameter (input number)
SendChar(1); // send fourth parameter (sub input number)
SendChar(0); // send fifth parameter (input type)
SendChar(192); // send end character
The hub would reply with eight serial characters, six for the reply described in this document, together with the
SLIP encapsulation characters of 192 at the beginning and 192 at the end i.e the hub reply string would look
like:
Byte # Value Description
0 192 (equivalent C0 hex) SLIP begin character
1 1 Returned command value
2 1 Status (success)
3 1 Returned port number
4 2 Returned input number
5 1 Returned sub input number
6 0 Returned input type
7 192 SLIP end character
UDP data 17 03 192 69 219 25
SLIP data 192 17 03 219 220 69 219 221 25 192
82
Similarly, the login example in 1.3 above would result in the following. In this example, we have assumed that
the SendChar() command in the host can accept an ASCII value in quotes as well as a decimal number:
SendChar(192); // send begin character
SendChar(98); // send command value
SendChar(0); // send first parameter (user defined)
SendChar(5); // send second parameter (password length)
SendChar('a'); // send third parameter (first character in password)
SendChar('d'); // send fourth parameter (second password character)
SendChar('m'); // send fifth parameter (third password character)
SendChar('i'); // send sixth parameter (fourth password character)
SendChar('n'); // send seventh parameter (fifth password character)
SendChar(192); // send end character

UDM Hub Control Protocol
Handshaking
Although UDP is not deterministic (there is no guarantee that a UDP packet will be delivered), using UDP
greatly simplifies the stack processing in the hubs. To accommodate UDP, this protocol requires that the hubs
send a completion reply on receipt (and completion) of any command. This is not a great restriction since some
commands may not complete (selection of a disabled input for example) and status must be returned and
decoded anyway.
To facilitate decoding, returned status messages duplicate the command and add a status return value.
Returned status replies can therefore be matched with commands, even if delivered out of order. If a reply is
not received, the sender must retry. Since all commands are stateless, such a simple scheme is adequate.
The command format allows for a number of user-defined bytes to be sent with the command, which will be
returned in the status. These may be used, for example, for sequence numbering or decoding.
Command Set
In each of the following descriptions, only the contents of the UDP data packet are specified.
Authentication
Before any SLIP (ethernet UDP commands do not require authentication) commands can be executed the user
must be authenticated - this uses the same password mechanism as authentication from the console command
line or from a web browser.
This authentication process may be disabled using a Setup web page option.
Authenticate (Login)
Provides authentication information for this UDP session - the password is the same as for web browser and
console sessions (default is admin). If the password is correct, further UDP commands will be accepted.
Currently, the password is unencrypted.
Byte # 0 1 2 3..n
Byte value 98 User defined Password length Password string
Return Status:
Byte # 0 1 2 3 4 5
Byte value 98 Status Undefined Undefined Undefined Undefined
The status value returned is as follows:
Status value Description
1 Command completed successfully
70 Unable to authenticate (password incorrect)
If the session is not logged (hasn't been correctly authenticated) then any command will return a status value of
70.
Logout
Logs the UDP session out - further communications will require a login command to be sent:
Byte #012345
Byte value 97 User Defined User Defined User Defined User Defined User Defined
Return Status:
Byte # 0 1 2 3 4 5
Byte value 97 Status Undefined Undefined Undefined Undefined
The status value returned is as follows:
Status Value Description
1 Command completed successfully
70 System is already logged out

Basic Commands
Input Numbering
The UDM has a flexible architecture to maximise use of the available matrix. The UDM1604 is a 16 output
port hub, with four analog input ports and four TVM input ports. Each analog input port can be used for a
variety of input types, VGA, S-Video, component and composite, and input ports are specified by a main
number, together with a sub input number if the input can be split.
The Input number is specified as follows:
Value Description Value Description
1 Input A 5 TVM input 1
2 Input B 6 TVM input 2
3 Input C 7 TVM input 3
4 Input D 8 TVM input 4
If the Input is of type 1 (composite) then the Sub input field (with values 1,2,3) can further specify which of
the three composite inputs on an Input to use for this connection.
Input A would come from the 'A' labelled VGA connector or if the cascade input is selected for this input,
from the upstream hub.
Port Numbering
There are 16 output ports, numbered 1 to 16.
Connect Input to Port
Selects the input on the ports specified by the Port property, or if non zero, the port specified in the command.

Send Remote Command
Sends a command to the Rx (which is normally sent on to the screen or other device connected to the Rx).
Remote command specifies the type of action taken, with optional parameters.

All these commands start with the header above (bytes 0-3), but use the remote device command value to
perform separate functions as described below.
Set Remote Device Protocol
Sets the control protocol being used by the remote device. The system treats control codes in a device
independent way, and this parameter allows the translation between the device independent value (see below)
and the code sent to the device. Device address sets the addressing of the protocol (if allowed). This allows the
same protocol to be used for transmit and receive without conflict. If this is zero, then the default (for that
protocol) will be used.
Byte # 4 5 6 7 8
Byte value 1 Control protocol

IR protocol values are defined as follows:
IR protocol Description IR protocol Description
1 Table driven (generic) 117 Serial 2400 baud odd parity
2 Sony 118 Serial 4800 baud odd parity
3 NEC (endeleo remote) 119 Serial 9600 baud odd parity
4 Sky 120 Serial 1200 baud even parity
112 Serial 1200 baud 121 Serial 2400 baud even parity
113 Serial 2400 baud 122 Serial 4800 baud even parity
114 Serial 4800 baud 123 Serial 9600 baud even parity
115 Serial 9600 baud 124 Serial 19200 baud
116 Serial 1200 baud odd parity 125 Serial 38400 baud
The table driven protocol output requires that the relevant driver file has been loaded or learnt in the receiver.
Similarly the serial protocol selection requires that a relevant serial protocol driver has been uploaded or learnt.
The protocol selection connects this driver file to the output and sets the baud rate. A serial device driver may
have a variable or fixed baud rate. If it is fixed then all the serial protocol values above are equivalent, if the
driver has a variable rate then the baud rate is set appropriately from the value above.
The default protocol values are 3 (endeleo remote) for reception and 1 (table driven) for transmission.

UDM Hub Control Protocol
Send IR Command To Connected Device
Sends a control command out through the IR blaster or serial port connected to the remote receiver. This is
translated in the receiver to the appropriate control protocol previously selected. The receiver must already be
loaded with the right driver for the codes used, and the device being controlled must allow the necessary
actions.

Send Non-specific Serial Command
Sends a serial string to the serial output (if present) on the remote receiver. This allows direct control of the
serial output (independent of the device protocol loaded in the receiver).
It is preferred that serial control be accomplished by loading the appropriate driver file into a receiver and
using the generic control commands (this allows the same command to be issued to a variety of different
devices, for example), but this command can be used for more direct control if required.
Byte # 4 5..n
Byte value 3 Serial string for onward transmission
Set Serial Parameters
Sets serial port parameters for the serial interface (if present) on the Rx. DTR may be controlled by the value in
offset 7 - a non zero value will assert it.
Baud rate values are split into most significant byte (MSB) and least significant byte (LSB), so for example:
9600 baud has MSB = 37 and LSB= 128 since 9600 = 37x256 + 128
If the baud rate in this command is zero (both MSB and LSB), then the baud rate of the remote device will
remain unchanged.
Byte # 4 5 6 7
Byte value 4 Baud rate MSB Baud rate LSB DTR (0 for off)
