Control settings 

These settings adjust the control ports, IR source and IR 
gateway properties. 

UDP command port

Define the port on which the device will receive commands 
via UDP.  

TCP command port 

Define the port on which the device will receive commands 
via TCP.

Web server port 

Defines the port where the web server of the Barix 
Instreamer can be reached. If set to 

"0" the default HTTP 

port (80) is used. 

IR Source 

Select "IR IN" when attaching an IR Receiver on the IR IN 
jack or "IR Serial Dongle" when using the supplied Serial 
Receiver. 

IR Gateway

When activated all received IR remote control commands 
will be transmitted to other Barix devices IR OUT output. 
Leaving the IP address at 0.0.0.0 and setting a valid port 
(not 0) will broadcast the IR commands in the LAN.  
To direct to a specific device set the IP Address of the 
device and the port (

Example: 192.168.0.24:12301).  

To disable the IR Gateway set the IP address to 0.0.0.0 and 
the port to 0.

Serial settings 

These settings adjust the serial port, serial gateway and IR 
Dongle LED properties. 

Baud rate

Select the serial transmission speed (300 to 115200 Baud). 

 Data bits

Select 7 or 8 data bits. 

Parity

Select no, even or odd parity. 

Stop bits

Select 1 or 2 stop bits. 

Flow control

Select the type of flow control:  
none, software (XON/XOFF) or hardware (RTS/CTS). 

Local port

Defines the port on which the serial port can be accessed 
for serial gateway application. Only when "Local port" is set 
to "0" the serial port can be used as a command interface. 
If the active serial gateway is enabled and the "Local port" is 
set to a value then this will be the source port of the TCP 
connection. On 

"0" a random source port is used. 

Destination IP

To have this Barix Instreamer actively establish a serial 
gateway select the destination IP address to the device 
where the serial data will be transmitted to (and received 
from). 
Select "0.0.0.0" when the serial port is only used local. 

Destination port

Defines the port for the active serial gateway function (see 
destination IP). 

Notes

Both settings, "Destination IP" and "Destination port" have 
to be set to enable the gateway function. 

RTS function

Select the function of the RTS output pin. 
On "IR Status" the LED on the connected IR Dongle will 
flash upon reception of an IR Remote Control (default 
setting). On "activate AVR" RTS is on during streaming and 
60 sec after the last streaming. It can be used to activate an 
Audio Video Receiver or Amplifier. On "RTS" it can be 
used for flow control as usual or as an additional output.
