Triggering a content switch over IP
Modifying the media is done using shared variables. For more information on shared variables, please refer to
the Shared Variables section on page 97.
To change the current media id over IP, you have to send a string like the one below to TCP port 1234 on the
IS-SPX-1000. The network API must be enabled on the Network Settings page for the IS-SPX-1000 to accept
the connection. The port number can be changed on this page as well. (For more information, please refer to
the Enabling the network API section on page 102.)
UPDATE "menu" "P1"\r\n
If you do not have an IS-SPX-1000 at hand, you can still test the remote control protocol with content running
in the XPress application on your PC. For this, check the Enable Network API box in the Settings menu
(FIG. 45).
This assumes that the control variable is the default name (“menu”) and you want to switch the content to one
with the ID equal to “P1”. \r\n means you send the characters with ASCII code 13 (CR) and 10 (LF) to

When enabling the network API via XPress, the TCP port number is also 1234.
