Error -1007

[j.marchesseau]

Hello

I have an error -1007 when i create UDP channels which have the same port. For example, when I create two UDP channels with the parameters below, I have the error -1007 and V-control crash.

Channel 1 :
Name : brightsign1
Port : 5000
Router Hops : 1
IP Adress : 192.168.0.23

Channel 2 :
Name : brightsign2
Port : 5000
Router Hops : 1
IP Adress : 192.168.0.24

Is there a solution to avoid the problem ?

Thanks in advance,

Joseph

Hi Joseph,

this is the nature of UDP. UDP is connectionless, similar to RS232. If you try to open two times the same RS232 Com Port you will get the same error because the resource is in use. Same with UDP. There are two solutions:

1. Switch to TCP if possible
2. Change the UDP Port on the second Brightsign Player.

Hi Dierk

Thanks for the answer ! Finally, I configured different trigger messages on the brightsigns and broadcast on 192.168.0.255 and on port 5000.
