Network Resources is a powerful feature of the ISY-99, allowing you to interface with a virtually unlimited number of network-enabled devices! Use an ethernet to serial converter to open up an even larger world of RS-232 compatible devices. This page provides information on known compatible hardware and software capable of being controlled by the ISY.
You'll also find export files which you can download and import into your ISY, saving you from doing all the dirty work. To use, simply download the linked .ZIP file and IMPORT into your ISY from the Network Resources tab. Always be sure to have a full backup of your ISY.
If you'd like to contribute your experiences, please send an email to support@universal-devices.com with any informtion you'd like to provide. If you have an export file you'd like to share for the sake of helping others, please attach it to your email.

Hex to Network Resource Binary
Hex to Binary Converter - This link contains a Java utility that converts Hex text to binary decimal representation that can be pasted into a Network Resource. For instance all Russound commands are in Hex. Using this utility, you can seamlessly convert them to the binary version that Network Resources understands.
Elk IP-232
We have tested the Elk IP-232, which provides 1 serial port accessible over your ethernet network.
- By default, the IP-232 uses TCP port 2401
Elk Relay Control
Many commands are possible, such as turning on/off/Toggling outputs, triggering Tasks in Elk, simulating function Key presses on a keypad, arming and disarming, sending test to keypads, speaking words (if you have the M1 Gold). This said, for best bi-directional integration, please consider ELK Module. Gmail password hacker v2 8.9 keygen.
Global Cache GC-100
We have tested the Global Cache GC-100-12, which provides 2 serial ports, 3 relays, and 6 IR outputs in a single box connected to an ethernet network. We have tested the serial, relay, and IR outputs successfully.
- The GC-100-12 uses TCP port 4998 for the relay and IR outputs
- The GC-100-12 uses TCP port 4999 for serial port 1, and port 5000 for serial port 2
- Please use 'C Escaped' mode when creating Network Resources on the ISY for control of relays and IR, and append all commands with 'rn'

Russound CAV6.6
We have tested the Russound CAV6.6, connected to an ethernet network using a Global Cache GC-100-12's serial port as well as with an Elk IP-232. With this combination, you can utilize ISY programs to control your Russound wholehouse audio system using serial commands sent over a TCP connection.
- Russound's protocol documentation specifies hex commands sent over serial
- Hex commands must be converted to binary and sent using the ISY Network Resource's 'Binary' mode
- Russound's DocumentCenter contains full protocol information: http://www.russound.com/doccenter/doccenter.php
- Export Files
- GC100-CAV66.ZIP - This file contains commands used to turn on/off up to 12 zones on a Russound CAV6.6 system (2 controllers, 6 zones per controller) using a Global Cache GC-100-12. Simply change the IP address to match your GC-100.
- IP232-CAV66.ZIP - This file contains commands used to turn on/off up to 12 zones on a Russound CAV6.6 system (2 controllers, 6 zones per controller) using an Elk IP-232. Simply change the IP address to match your IP-232.
Russound MCA Series
The Russound MCA-C5 controller was tested using the RIO (Russound Input/Output) protocol. The RIO command set is available as ASCII text via IP (using port 9621) and RS-232 interfaces. RIO commands are made up of ASCII characters except for the terminating characters. All RIO commands must be terminated with a (0x0D hex). For more information about RIO, download the Third-Party Development Toolkit from Russound's Document Center. It contains all the protocol document and details about how to use RIO to integrate data features with third-party system hardware.
- Export Files
- MCA-Series-Zones-ON-OFF.zip - This file contains commands used to turn on/off up to 8 zones individually on a Russound MCA-C5 system (6 zones on the MCA-C3) and to turn on/off all zones simultaneously. Simply change the IP address listed to the one your MCA controller is assigned.
- MCA-Series-Source-Selection.zip - This file allows you to select any of the MCA-C5 8 sources for any of the 8 zones. On the MCA-C3, the number of zones and sources is limited to 6. Here again, simply change the IP address listed to the one your MCA controller is assigned.
- MCA-Series-Common-Functions.zip - This file contains an extended set of commands for each zone and source: mute, pause, play, stop, volume up, volume down.
- Russound-Volume-Source-Selection.zip - This file contains almost a complete set of commands including source selection and volume
Onkyo / Integra
Network enabled Onkyo and Integra receiver models can be controlled via commands sent over a TCP connection. The Integra Serial Control Protocol over ethernet (eISCP) defines command messages in hex format; however, the ISY Network Resources module requires these messages to be in binary format and sent using the ISY Network Resource's 'Binary' mode. A (near) complete list of the binary command strings to use has be prepared: File:EiscpMessages binary.txt so you don't have to convert anything or stitch the message packet together!
Once you create the Network Resource commands, you can use them in programs.
Details of the protocol message
(if you want to create the packets yourself)
- commands are documented in the Onkyo-Integra-Netrules.zip
- Every ISCP command must be preceded with a header. The header is static except for byte 11, which specifies the command length (typically 7)
- Consult an ASCII table to convert hex commands to binary format. For example, the ISCP command 'PWR01' (power on) is represented as '80;87;82;48;49' in the Network Resource editor ('P' is ASCII code 80, 'W' is ASCII code 87, etc.)
- ISCP commands are always terminated with a carriage return (ASCII 13)

These binary strings were created using an open source Java implementation of eISCP protocol (eiscp.jar) that not only sends commands for you, it prepares the FULL encoded eISCP message and dumps it to the commandline in HEX and binary.
- For Example> java -jar eiscp.jar 10.0.0.203 VOLUME_QUERY
- will dump out the binary version of the message you can use in the ISY Network Resources.
- > java -jar eiscp.jar
- will list all the available commands
- The VOLUME_QUERY eISCP message to copy into the ISY Network Resources message box looks like:
- 73;83;67;80;0;0;0;16;0;0;0;26;1;0;0;0;33;49;77;86;76;81;83;84;78;13
- A text file with a (near) complete list of the binary command strings to use has be prepared:
- just copy the string of binary numbers (for the message to send) into the ISY Network Resources body
- If multiple commands are to be sent by an ISY program, include a one second delay between commands

Thank you pikach for providing these instructions!
- Find out the IP address and port (should be 10006) of your GW1. (you should know that if you set up correctly the HTD app)
- In the ISY go to Configuration, Networking, Network Resources and click Add
- By protocol Information, select TCP, Host is your IP address, port is port, and by mode select Binary
- The converted HEX codes go into Body box, for example all zones on you type 2;0;0;4;85;91 click on save
- You can find converted Hex Codes for HTD Here and for MC66 Here

Blue Iris v4.x
Many thanks to Mr. Daniel Rich for providing these resources/instructions!
- Download Template Resources for Blue Iris
- Change the Host and Port to the one configured for your Blue Iris (currently blueiris.example.com port 80 in the resource as a placeholder)
- Add your username and password to each resource
- The two camera triggers are also examples, the 'cam1' and 'cam2' names in the URLs will need to be changed to the appropriate short name configured for the cameras. This resource can then be copied for additional cameras.
- Also, as of version 4.x of BlueIris this will only work if 'Secure only' is disabled under 'Web Server' -> 'Advanced' in the settings. With that enabled the login process requires a multi-step HTTP process with session keys and md5-hashed login credentials.
