IP Commands

TCP/RPC Commands

Remote procedure calls (RPCs) are used to control the DXE-CAT-S2L from any device with a web

browser (PC, iPad, touch panel, etc.), an external control system, or another web-enabled device. RPCs

can be used to send serial and IR commands, receive serial data, and retrieve system information.

RPCs can be sent in the form of an HTTP POST (used for web based control pages or control from a

Aurora WACI series controller) or TCP commands (used for control from an external control system).

Calls to the RPC server using HTTP POST are done through the /rpc virtual directory, e.g.

http://ip-address/rpc. Use this directory as part of the URL when creating the address for the HTTP POST

transaction. TCP commands are structured the same way as the HTTP POST, but sent over a raw TCP

connection without any HTTP headers.
