##################################################################################
ARCAM SA10 Control4 Driver
##################################################################################
Connection
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The driver connection to an SA10 is done over TCP/IP. An ethernet cable connected to the
local network should be plugged into the ethernet port on the back of the device. The
unit needs the Net Standby option set On and a valid IP Address allocated either as a static IP or over DHCP.
Connections are made to the device identified by the IP Address property on port 50000. This should be
set during the setup of the device. \n
This is automatically invoked during driver initialisation.
Driver Identification
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On power-up the SA10 will send an SDDP Notify Alive message which should be picked up by Composer and the device
displayed on the "Discovered" tab. Alternatively a Notify Identify message can be generated from the System Settings menu:\n
1. Hold the Mute button down for 3 seconds, the System menu will be displayed.
2. Select System Settings using the -> soft key.
3. Navigate to the C4 SDDP menu using the Up/Down soft keys
4. Send the Notify Identify message by pressing the -> soft key.
Driver Installation
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The driver may be installed by double-clicking on the device in the Composer Discovered window.
Doing this should automatically associated the device entry with the correct IP Address,
and communication should be established automatically.
Alternatively the device driver may be selected from the Composer Search window. Once selected the
device entry can be associated with the correct IP Address using the Connections -> Network
window. Either double click on the device entry and follow the Network Identify steps to
manually add the IP Address or drag the device’s connection string from the list of Available
devices onto the corresponding device entry.
Standby Mode
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to comply with international regulations for consumer products, this unit is designed
to enter a low power standby mode if no user interaction and no audio input signal are detected
for an extended period of time.
To adjust the length or disable the idle time before the unit goes into standby please refer
to the Timeout entry in the System Menu section of the user manual.
Properties
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version:
Shows the current version of the driver.
Power:
Displays and sets the Power state of the device.
Volume:
Displays and sets the current volume of the device
Current Input:
Displays and sets the current input of the device.
Mute:
Displays and sets the mute state of the device.
Connection Status:
Displays the current connection state of the device (Connected/Disconnected)
Debug Mode:
Displays and sets the level of messages output to the Lua window.
- Off: No messages are output
- Info: Only Information messages indicating the LUA functions that have run are output
- Debug: All messages are output, giving detailed information on the actions being taken by the driver.
Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Increment Volume:
Sends a message to the device that increments the volume by 1. (max 99) (if not in Processor Mode - see below)
Decrement Volume:
Sends a message to the device that decrements the volume by 1. (min 0) (if not in Processor Mode - see below)
Balance Right:
Sends a message to the device that moves the Balance 1 step to the right.
Balance Left:
Sends a message to the device that moves the Balance 1 step to the left.
Mute:
Mutes the devices output.
Unmute:
Unmutes the devices output.
Device Limitations
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Only one TCP/IP connection is allowed to the device. This means that the control
application cannot be used in conjunction with a Control4 setup.
- Any commands sent to the device (such as changing volume, or muting the device) while
it is changing input may be ignored.
- The amplifier can have one of its inputs defined as being in Processor Mode. This mode ensures
a fixed volume on the chosen input. When the Processor mode input is selected any changes to Volume will be ignored.
Troubleshooting
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the device does not appear to be communication with Control4 , the following steps can be taken:
- Check that the device is connected to the Control4 controller using a working Ethernet cable.
- Check that the TCP/IP connection to the device is not being used by another application (MusicLife, Device Console)
- Check the device is powered on and is not in sleep mode.
- In the devices Network Settings -> Net Standby menu check the state is "On"
- In Composer, select the device entry. Look at the Properties window. If the state is Disconnected
wait for 30 seconds. If the state does not change power cycle the device.
- In Composer, select the device entry. Set the Debug Mode to Debug, and display the Lua window.
- On the device change inputs/volume.
- If there is no output in the Lua window it implies that there is no connection.
Debugging
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 levels of debugging are provided:
None - No debug messages are output.
Info - Messages indicating the LUA functions that have run.
Debug - Extra information on message content and processing.
