If the Mini PACS is already configured for use on a network, then open a Web browser and type in the IP address of the Mini PACS. The built-in Web server provides control over RS-232, IR emitters, relays, and general configuration.
WEB INTERFACE RS-232 Menu The RS-232 Menu allows you to change the RS-232 port settings on the Mini PACS. Description Provide a name to the device connected to this port (e.g. “SonyTV”, “Samsung”, etc.
WEB INTERFACE RS-232 Settings Some RS-232 settings use a drop-down menu for selecting different options. For example, to select the Baud Rate, click the arrow icon then click on the required port speed: Arrow Icon Indicates a dropdown list. Click to list the available baud rates. Baud Rate Sets the baud rate for the port. Range: [100 bps - 115200 bps] Parity Sets the parity bit. Options: Even, Odd, None, Mark, Space Stop Bits Sets the stop bit.
WEB INTERFACE TCP / UDP Bridging Settings UDP Protocol is used by some control systems, including Gefen’s GAVA system, for faster response. When using UDP you can broadcast the message by using the IP address: 255.255.255.255. Use TCP unless otherwise instructed by your Control System User Manual, or by Gefen Technical Support. See page 56 for a full explanation of these settings.
WEB INTERFACE TCP / UDP Bridging Settings Start Delimiter Value Range: 00 - FF (“wildcard” characters are acceptable, e.g. **) The Start Delimiter can be up to three ASCII characters (3 bytes), in hex format. For example, 0D0A is CR + LF (Carriage Return + Line Feed). The delimiters are used by some control systems to filter incoming data. Contact Gefen Technical Support for details if you need to use them.
WEB INTERFACE IR Emitters Menu The Mini PACS has three (3) IR Emitter (IR back-channel) ports. The Mini PACS can use any one of these IR Emitter ports to send IR commands to the source device. Up to 64 IR commands can be stored per device. IR configuration files can be saved, downloaded, uploaded, edited, and deleted. Select Outputs To Test Commands List of IR Emitter output p p ports used to test the IR commands. Select Device List of devices which have been stored in the PACS.

WEB INTERFACE Adding a new IR Device The Mini PACS can hold up to 20 IR devices in memory. Each device may have up to 64 Commands. If you are building a library, you may need to delete some devices from the Mini PACS once they are learned and saved, to make room for more devices. However, if you have several of the same devices with separate IR emitters, you can use the same IR “Device Name” for all of them, but specify a different output for each one when you send the commands.
WEB INTERFACE 10. Find the IR remote for the new device. Make sure the batteries are fresh! Hold the remote so it is pointing at the IR window on the Mini PACS, and is about 6” away from the window. 11. Click the “Learn” button for the first named Command. 12. You will be prompted to press the remote button that matches the Command Name you are learning. Press the button firmly- do not hold it down, or just hit it quickly.
WEB INTERFACE 14. If the commands match, the Mini PACS will return to the main screen, and the new command will now be green. 15. If a code is learned incorrectly, you may overwrite it by repeating steps 11 13. The Mini PACS will warn you that the command is already in memory, and ask you to confirm that you want to overwrite the existing code. Press “OK” to do so. Once a Command is learned, its Command Name may not be changed.

WEB INTERFACE Adding a new IR device from a Template Templates are useful when you want to ensure that similar commands for different product models have identical Command Names. This will simplify the process of programming your control system, and allow you to replace one disc player, for example, with another model, without having to change the control system programming.
WEB INTERFACE 6. Since this is a template file, the Command Names will be yellow, rather than green. This means that only the names, and not the IR data, have been stored. 7. Click on the “Advanced View” button above the Command Name list. This adds the “Learn” and “Delete” buttons for each Command, and a button named “Learn ALL” above. 8. Find the IR remote for the new device.
WEB INTERFACE 12. If the commands match, the Mini PACS will prompt you for the next Command in the list. 13. If you are prompted for a command that does not exist on your remote, you can press the “SKIP Command” button, and you will be prompted for the next button on the list, or you can press “EXIT IR Learning” to end the process. If you start the Learn ALL process again, it will start with the first un-learned command, and skip any commands that have previously been learned.
WEB INTERFACE 18. You can delete any commands that are not available for that specific remote by clicking the “Delete” button for those commands. Deleted buttons will be removed when changes are saved. Un-learned template commands will be saved for later learning. 19. Press “Save Changes” to save the learned Commands to the Mini PACS.
WEB INTERFACE Relays Menu The Mini PACS provides two Normally-Open (NO) relays which can be used for controlling lighting systems, curtains, motorized screens, or various other automation devices. Each relay contact is rated for 1A at 30V DC. +12V DC and Ground are also provided for convenience. Relay Buttons Click one of these buttons to name and configure a relay. When a relay has been associated to a specific event, the event will appear under Devices.
WEB INTERFACE Save Changes Saves the trigger event. Delete Deletes the trigger name and resets settings to default. Pulse Duration (ms) Required when Type is set to Pulse. Range: 0 -10000. (1000 = 1 sec.) Default State Sets the default state of the trigger. Options: Open, Close.

WEB INTERFACE System Settings The System Settings section allows you to upload or restore a file containing all of the IP settings, RS-232 settings, trigger settings, and all IR files, devices, and commands. The default name of this XML file is “Settings_xml.gfn”. This file may be copied to another Mini PACS, which will then be an exact duplicate of the source Mini PACS (please note that you will have to change the IP address of the duplicate Mini PACS if both units will be connected to the same network).
WEB INTERFACE It is important to understand that this XML file does not actually exist in the Mini PACS. Rather, it is created “on-the-fly” by the Web GUI when it is downloaded. When a new settings file is presented for an update, it is parsed by the Mini PACS firmware, and the data is stored in the appropriate locations in the Mini PACS memory.
IP (TELNET) CONTROL SETUP The Mini PACS may be manually operated using the Web server Graphical User Interface (GUI), or by an automation system (such as the Gefen GAVA System) that is capable of sending Telnet serial commands to the Mini PACS via IP. The Web interface allows setting RS-232 communications parameters. RS-232 device commands are not stored in the Mini PACS, and cannot be sent through the Web interface.
IP (TELNET) CONTROL SETUP 3. Click “Save Settings”. 4. Open HyperTerminal or another Terminal Emulation program on your computer. 5. Open a new session with a Host Address that matches the IP address of the Mini PACS, and set the Port Number to 49202. 6. Type “help ?” in the terminal window, and a list of commands from the AUDDEC-N should scroll in the window, indicating successful communication with the AUDDEC-N.

APPENDIX Controlling the Mini PACS via RS-232 The Mini PACS is generally intended to be controlled via IP, in order to control RS-232, IR, and trigger-operated devices that are connected to it. Under some circumstances, it may be useful to control the Mini PACS via an RS-232 port, such as to use the Mini PACS as an RS-232-to-IR or RS-232-to-trigger converter or if it is more convenient to use an RS-232 connection than an IP connection for configuration.
APPENDIX Learning IR Commands via Telnet The Mini PACS has eight (3) IR Emitter outputs. Each of these IR Emitters can be connected to device. The Mini PACS can learn new IR commands and then send the learned IR command to any or all of the devices at once. The Mini PACS can store commands for up to 20 devices. Each of the stored devices can have up to 64 commands. In the example below, we will have the Mini PACS learn a play command for a Sony DVD player. 1. Access the Mini PACS using Telnet.
