<IP>

Support engineers can use the IP option to define what network socket the dCine will monitor. As

an example;

<IP>

</IP>

When monitoring for incoming events, a TCP/IP network socket on the dCine must be set up to

accept incoming connections. Note: Only one port can be monitored at a time.

The <IP> options are;

<Enable> : This option allows support engineers to Enable(Yes) or Disable(No) the port

monitoring.

<Settings> : This value is the socket or port number the dCine will monitor.

Once network port monitoring is configured and the dCine MediaPlayer.exe is running, you

may check to see if the port specified is working correctly by doing the following;

1. Under a CMD shell, enter the command;

> netstat -a

You will see the port configured, default 4242, listed as “LISTENING”. This indicates that

dCine has opened the port and is listening for connections. If the port is not listed as

“LISTENING”, support engineers will need to investigate the issue.

2. Using a telnet tool such as “telnet” in the command shell or “putty.exe”,

connect to the socket. As an example, under the CMD command shell, enter;

> telnet 127.0.0.1 4242, where 127.0.0.1 is the local loopback IP, and 4242 is the

default socket port number for which the dCine is listening. This command will connect you

directly to the socket. From here you can type in the string patterns you are testing. You can

also type “HELP” to receive a list of events and the string patterns associated with those

events.
