ATEM TCP-LINK - Getting started

Getting started

The ATEM-TCP Link ships with the following IP settings

  • ATEM-TCP Link IP: 192.168.10.99
  • Subnet: 255.255.255.0
  • Gateway: 192.168.10.1
  • ATEM IP: 192.168.10.240

These settings can be confirmed and changed by the use of our Firmware Updater Application via the commands listed below. Do not use any features from the Firmware Updater besides the Serial Monitor. Pressing "Check for updates" will render the firmware on the ATEM-TCP Link unusable.

Commands to/from the ATEM-TCP Link are not done from the Serial Monitor but by establishing a telnet connection to the device. Please see the section "Establishing telnet connection" on this page.

Notice the Serial Monitor confirms when connection to the ATEM have been established.

 

Changing device IP address
In order to change the device IP address you type the following in the serial monitor

  • ip=A.B.C.D

Changing ATEM IP address
In order to change the ATEM IP address you type the following in the serial monitor

  • atem=A.B.C.D

Changing Gateway and Subnet
The same procedure as above can be followed for changing Gateway and Subnet

  • subnet=A.B.C.D
  • gateway=A.B.C.D
 
Establishing telnet connection

In order to establish a Telnet connection use the port 8899 and the IP address of the ATEM-TCP Link

  • telnet 192.168.10.99 8899

Check the connection by making a CUT or similar action on the ATEM in order to verify you receive state changes.

On the ATEM-TCP Link Auto negotiation is turned off and default interface is set to 100 mbit full duplex.
