MS VTP Interface

Connecting to MS VTP Service

To communicate with the MS-1e via VTP a VTP User Account will need to be set up. Create a New User and assign a password in the fields provided. Please note that both the User Name and Password are case sensitive, limited to 16 characters and cannot contain spaces.

All MS-1e VTP commands available to the MS-1e TCP/IP interface are also available via a RS-232 connection. Both RS-232 and TCP/IP connections can be used simultaneously.  

The RS-232 interface supports a command rate of 10 commands per second except where a response is expected in which case the controller must wait for the response in its entirety.

Once you have set up a VTP User Name and Password, send the configuration to the Vocia devices over the network. After this action is completed you can connect to the VTP service using:

Raw Socket (Ethernet)

• TCP

• Port 8020

• IP Address of the MS-1e

RS-232 (Serial)

Pin 2 - RX Data Pin 3 -TX Data Pin 5 -Ground

• Serial

• Baud 115200

• Stop bits 1

• Parity None

• Data Bits 8

• Flow Control None

The RS-232 settings listed above are default values however they are able to be customized in the MS-1e Options dialog. RS-232 must be enabled in the MS-1 Options dialog before it can be used.

If a TTS-1e is in the system it can act as a VTP proxy for MS-1e VTP Commands. If TTS-1e Sequences are triggered via VTP, the TTS-1e should be used as the primary VTP Interface for the MS-1e and TTS-1e VTP Commands.
