Production Switchers

I have two Carbonite switchers and am using DashBoard. I am trying to have one custom control on one switcher to call up memories on both switchers. The command is:

rosstalk.sendMessage('172.16.0.102', 7788, 'MEM 51');

rosstalk.sendMessage('172.16.0.103', 7788, 'MEM 51');

Can this be done with custom control? As far as I can see the custom control only sees the command associated with the switcher I am using. What I did was to make a button that sends both commands. This works fine but when I use the button to try to save it to a custom control it only sees the command IP add. associated with the switcher.

I am having a hard time understanding what your trying to do.

If you want to have a Custom control from 1 switcher trigger a Custom or Memory Recall on another switcher there are a couple of ways to do this.

You can setup a "fake" device for a RossTalk "XPN" device. You could then send commands direct from the one switcher to the other -- or if you would rather keep the DashBoard Panel in the mix you can enable the Global Listener, add a GPI number to the button and then just send Ross Talk GPI commands to the Button to trigger it.

If you want to just trigger events on the other switcher directly then you can make the IP address of the XPN device be the other switcher. In version 10.1 we added the ability to send a CC command so that you can trigger Custom Controls on other switchers. Or you send the GPI command and make sure to map your GPI events to the Memories or CCs you want to trigger. The virtual GPI will trigger the same events as a Physical GPI.

I have the two commands I listed in my first post in a button in Dashboard. I put a Custom Control into record and select the button with the two commands. Take Custom Control out of Rec. looking at the custom control it shows me of the two events in the DashBoard button I have only one event recorded. That event is the one with the same IP address as the switcher I recorded the Custom Control. The other event with the IP address of the other switcher is not recognized. Can the custom control issue a command with another IP address directly. From your answer it seems there is no way to directly control throught DashBoard a Custom Control of another Switcher without using GPI's. Is this correct?

#Carbonite

Your not sending the event for the other switcher to the first switcher that is in Record mode.

DashBoard is only issuing those commands to the IP address for the intended event.

If you want you can have a Custom Control Send to the DashBoard panel that would then send to both of the switchers.

OR

You can program the primary switcher to send messages to the other switcher. However in version 10.1 the only commands that are supported for sending from Carbonite to Carbonite is GPI event or Custom Control Events.

either way there is a way to do it.
