The Adtec DPI-1200 device is unique in that it handles up-to twelve different streaming
channels for Ad Splicing. To accommodate commands for controlling each channel, you will
need to specify which channel you are working with for each command you issue.
Please make the following adjustments:

● Instead of using *.dpid as noted the API descriptions, you will need to use.

○ *.dpid CLN 0 to specify the first channel.
○ *.dpid CLN 1 to specify the second channel.
○ *.dpid CLN 2 to specify the third channel.

Example: (*.dpid CLN 3) will give you the channel name of the third channel.

Most of the operational features of the Adtec DPI-1200 Ad Server can be controlled via
telnet using Adtec's API commands. A reference of the API commands applicable to the
DPI-1200 can be found on our website or on the Help Tab of the Web UI and select the API
Notes Link.

Setting Time Zone and Daylight Savings

This allows the user to properly configure or view the Timezone offset and Daylight Savings
time changes for the DPI-1200 Ad Server in an API telnet command window. Instructions on
connecting to the DPI with telnet can be found in the How-To Guides. The API Command
TIMEZONE has three different argument options [std] offset [daylight savings rule] where
the std and
Daylight savings rule are optional. The form of the command TIMEZONE and argument
explanation is as follows:

Command Handler: SYSD
Command: TIMEZONE | TIZ | TZ
Arguments:

std Name of the Time Zone
offset Hours offset from UTC (coordinated universal time)
dst Daylight Savings Setting

To configure only the time zone offset, you will use the following example:

*.SYSD TIZ -5 This sets the units’ offset to -5 from UTC

To configure the units’ time zone offset with a label for the offset, you will use the following
example:

*.SYSD TIZ EST-5 This sets the units’ offset to -5 from UTC and labels the setting as

Eastern Standard Time
