Control APIs for serial and 

Ethernet 

For integration of the Barix Exstreamer into various 
control applications and home automation systems, Barix 
has developed a control API (Application Protocol 
Interface) for the serial port and Ethernet UDP and TCP 
control. 

Serial Port control API 

The serial port on the Barix Exstreamer can be used to 
send control commands from a home automation system 
and other PC or embedded applications. In the device 
configuration the serial port can be adjusted to suit your 
application.  

For a detailed list of serial commands refer to the 
Exstreamer Technical Documentation available on the 
Barix website www.barix.com 

Ethernet UDP or TCP control commands 

The same control commands used on the serial port can be 
used as UDP or TCP commands over Ethernet.  

For more information and a detailed list of UDP and TCP 
control commands refer to the Barix Exstreamer Gold 
Technical Documentation available on the Barix website 
www.barix.com

Automatic discovery settings 

The automatic discovery functions are not executed if a 
static IP address is set. To enable automatic discovery but 
disable certain IP discovery functions set all but the third 
value to zero. For each function you want to disable add 
the value from the table below: 

0.0.1.0   to disable AutoIP 

0.0.2.0   to disable BOOTP 

0.0.4.0   to disable DHCP 

0.0.8.0   to disable IPzator 

Example: 0.0.3.0 disables AutoIP and BOOTP 
 

 0.0.11.0 disables all but DHCP 

Warning:  
0.0.15.0 disables all discovery functions which locks you out 
unless you reset the device to factory defaults by pressing 
the reset button for about 5 seconds.
