DOCUmENT PURPOSE
The intent of the StreamNet Integration & Programmer’s Guide is to define the StreamNet software command
structures necessary for Integrators to build interfaces. The interfaces can then be used by StreamNet System
Controllers to control StreamNet Ready devices.
DOCUmENT ORGANIzATION
The StreamNet Integration & Programmer’s Guide is designed to provide the Integrator with detailed
descriptions of the relevent commands for each of the StreamNet device sets (SpeakerLinX, MediaLinX,
TouchLinX, ViewLinX, etc.) Each set of commands is organized based on the specific sources available and
are listed through-out in alphabetical order.
This document begins with a detailed overview of the StreamNet ASCII Command Protocol which is the basic
mechanism for control and status reporting of the StreamNet services.
Chapter 2 provides detailed information needed for controlling a StreamNet System from connection to
addressing. Information on controlling legacy AV devices, StreamNet Soft Adapters (SSA), Source Adapters
as well as Display and Control Adapters is also covered. The chapter also covers Streamnet Subscription and
Registration topics.
Chapter 3 gives an overview of StreamNet ASCII commands, with an explanation of syntax structure, Subnode
addressing and related information. Chapter 3 provides details on ASCII message types and provides exam-
ples as necessary. The chapter finishes with sections on Menu Navigation, Report Messages, ASCII Character
Escape Sequences and Streamnet macros.
Chapter 4 provides the reader with details of the services which may be found on a StreamNet device. Sections
include a brief description on communicating with the StreamNet system, a description of what a service is
and the types of services available. A chart of common services by device is provided and some examples of
zone configurations are presented.
Chapter 5 describes how services are implemented and examples of commands available per service type
with details of the parameters available for each listed command. Each service section of Chapter 5 provides
a detailed overview of the service type.
Chapter 5 is followed by an Index that can be useful as a reference source.
The document concludes with a Glossary of Terms.
