Overview
Settings on Just Add Power alter the behavior of the device upon start-up. Settings that are changed will not be active immediately; they will be applied upon the next start-up. Many settings should be altered according to the unique situation present in each installation and are not recommended as blanket settings for all systems.
Access
All Settings should be entered via the Command Line Interface accessible via:
- Telnet to the IP of the unit, at port 23
- RS232
- White, 3-pin molex connector on the bottom of the unit. Make or request a Debug Cable to access.
- 115200-8n1 baud rate
All Settings are case-sensitive.

Chaining Settings
Multiple commands can be chained together to be applied simultaneously. Separate each command with a semicolon (;). Recommend adding Delay 1 Second after Save to ensure that the device has time needed to commit changes to permanent memory.
Example
astparam s ip_mode static;astparam s ipaddr 10.0.0.2;astparam s netmask 255.0.0.0;astparam s gatewayip 10.0.0.2;astparam save;sleep 1;reboot
Settings
Audio
Modify the way Transmitter services are processed.
| Name | Parameter | Value(s) | Description | Applicable Units | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TX Audio Handling | v_rx_drv_option | 0 | Default on non-AVP TX. Preserve audio sampling from source. |
All TX | astparam s v_rx_drv_option 6 |
| 2 | Default on AVP TX. Convert audio to 48kHz. |
||||
| 6 | Enable audio services without video present. Only applicable to AVP TX. |
DHCP Server
Allow a Just Add Power Receiver to hand out IP addresses to other devices. Allows for direct IP access to devices connected to 509POE Daisy Chain Receivers. DHCP Server will hand out IPs from x.x.x.200-.249.
| Name | Parameter | Value(s) | Description | Applicable Units | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DHCP Server | dhcp_server_enable | n | Default. Disable DHCP server. | All RX | astparam s dhcp_server_enable y |
| y | Enable DHCP Server |
Image Pull
Snapshot the video on a Transmitter or Receiver. The snapshot can be accessed by any device on the netork.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image Pull | pull_on_boot | n | Default. Disable Image Pull. | All devices | astparam s pull_on_boot 320_1_1 |
| $A_$B_$C | $A = size of the image. 160, 320, 640 | ||||
| $B = 1. Lower priority than video. | |||||
| $C = Frequency of Image Pull. 0 means 10fps. 1 means 1fps. |
IP
| Name | Parameter | Value(s) | Description | Applicable Units | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mode | ip_mode | autoip | Device defaults to 169.254.x.x | All devices | astparam s ip_mode static |
| static | Consistent IP address. Must also assign ipaddr, netmask, gatewayip | ||||
| dhcp | Get IP from DHCP server. If no server, reboot until server is present | ||||
| IP Address | ipaddr | $A.$B.$C.$D | IP address for device in IP Mode Static | All devices | astparam s ipaddr 10.0.0.2 |
| Subnet Mask | netmask | $A.$B.$C.$D | Subnet mask for device in IP Mode Static | All devices | astparam s netmask 255.0.0.0 |
| Default Gateway | gatewayip | $A.$B.$C.$D | Default gateway for device in IP Mode Static | All devices | astparam s gatewayip 255.0.0.0 |
Serial/RS232
Send RS232 commands to endpoint devices using the RS232 port on any Just Add Power device.
| Name | Parameter | Value(s) | Description | Applicable Units | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Set TX-RX Link Dependence | soip_type2 | y | Default. RS232 uses RX-TX link. | All devices | astparam s soip_type2 y |
| n | RS232 does not use RX-TX link | ||||
| Set SOIP Input | soip_guest_on | n | Default. SOIP input is RS232 port of TX/RX. | All devices | astparam s soip_guest_on y |
| y | SOIP input is network socket directly to device. | ||||
| Set Baudrate | s0_baudrate | $A-8n1 | $A = baudrate. Default = 9600. | All devices | astparam s s0_baudrate 115200-8n1 |
A combination of these functions translate to the different Serial Over IP Modes available to Just Add Power devices.
