Overview

JPSW is a universal control protocol designed for seamless integration between Just Add Power Ultra Series and MaxColor Series systems across various network switch models.

In an AMP Standardized system, commands are sent directly to any Just Add Power device, effectively making each device a potential control point. JPSW is enabled by default on all devices in an AMP Standardized system, ensuring consistent and flexible control.

This approach eliminates the need for switch-specific drivers in supported control systems. If a driver is not available for your control system, you can still integrate it by utilizing JPSW commands, provided you understand their structure and functionality.

To use JPSW, a static route must be configured on the network, typically on the router. If your on-site router does not support static routes, please follow this link for alternative setup options.

Access any Just Add Power Device

JPSW switching commands require the control system to establish a TCP/IP or Telnet session with any Just Add Power device using Port 23. Once connected to a single device, the control system can manage all sources and displays within the system.

JPSW is enabled by default on all devices in an AMP Standardized system and cannot be disabled.

Example: Connecting to Decoder 1
Decoder 1 172.27.1.1:23

Note: All JPSW commands are case-sensitive.

Source Switching Command Structure

The jpsw command allows you to switch video sources to specific Decoders using the following structure:

Syntax:

jpsw -r {DecoderRng} -t {EncoderNUM}

• -r = Decoder Selector (specifies which Decoders will switch)
• -t = Encoder Selector (specifies which Encoder to switch to)

The Encoder (-t) and Decoder (-r) selectors can be entered in any order:

jpsw -r 2 -t 1
jpsw -t 1 -r 2

Decoder Selection (DecoderRng)

• Single Decoder: Specify a single Decoder number (e.g., 2).
• Multiple Decoders (Non-Sequential): Use a comma , to list specific Decoders (e.g., 1,3,5).
• Range of Decoders (Sequential): Use a hyphen - to define a range (e.g., 6-9).
• All Decoders: Use all to switch all displays (introduced in JPSW v1.6.1).

Encoder Selection (EncoderNUM)

• Specify a single Encoder number (e.g., 15).

Note: Refer to your report file to confirm the correct Encoder and Decoder values before executing commands.

Source Switching Examples

Switch all Decoders to Encoder 2

jpsw -r all -t 2

Switch Decoder 2 to Encoder 1

jpsw -r 2 -t 1

Set Encoder 3 on Decoders 6-9

jpsw -t 3 -r 6-9

Switch specific Decoders (1, 15, 34, 57, 101, and 122) to Encoder 15

jpsw -r 1,15,34,57,101,122 -t 15

Switch a 3x3 Video Wall (Decoders 10-18) to Encoder 7

jpsw -r 10-18 -t 7

Switch Decoders 10-18 plus Decoder 22 to Encoder 10

jpsw -r 10-18,22 -t 10
