Configuration: Script Management > Event Triggering
You can create and run scripts to activate certain functions on a VBrick appliance. There are
three ways to run scripts on an appliance. (1) You can run scripts for test purposes using the
Run Script button in IWS; (2) you can use the IR Remote Control; and (3) you can use an
external event trigger (see "Event Triggering" in the VBrick Appliance Getting Started Guide).
The VBrick appliance can be set up to use serial (COM1) Pins 7 and 8, or 0 through 9 on the
IR Remote as input events to trigger the VBrick to run scripts. The script files execute certain
commands using VBrick SDK parameters to activate certain functions within the VBrick
appliance. There are a total of four possible input events (COM1 Pin8 Low, COM1 Pin8
High, COM1 Pin7 Low, COM1 Pin7 High) and ten possible input events using the IR
Remote (each has one associated script file).
For more information about the VBrick SDK, contact your certified VBrick reseller or

Run Scripts Using IWS
You can run scripts that were previously created with the VBrick SDK using the Run Script
button in IWS. This button is only available in
Edit mode and is basically used for test
purposes. See Sample Script
below
Video On Demand Enables or Disables the Video-on-Demand capability of the VBrick
appliance. When enabled, the user will be able to view Video-on-
Demand SAPs in the Program Guide. If authorized, the user will be
able to select Video-on-Demand SAPs and access the Video-on-
Demand features of the VoD server sending the SAP. If disabled, the
user will not see Video-on-Demand SAPs in the Program Guide.
SAP IP Address The IP Address for Video-on-Demand SAPs Default value is
224.2.133.135 (as shown).
SAP Port The Port for Video-on-Demand SAPs Default value is 9880 (as
shown).
SAP Timeout The Video-on-Demand SAP timeout, in seconds. Default value is 90
(as shown).
Note The values of the SAP IP Address and Port must correspond to the values set on the
VBVoD servers sending Video-on-Demand SAPs. If the values of the SAP IP
Address or Port are changed without changing the values on the VoD servers, Video-
on-Demand SAPs will not be received even if when Video-on-Demand is enabled.
Note You cannot execute a script either with the IR Remote Control or using an event
trigger if IWS is currently running in
Edit mode. If you run a script directly from
IWS, it automatically exits
Edit mode and terminates the active editing session.
