ISE4/ISE6 - Set Network Parameters

This sets “Network Configuration” found on the Data Output page of X-Plane, and informs X-Plane the destination IP and port for bulk data. (See DSEL/USEL - Stream Data Output for bulk data info.)

Send

You set IP and port, which may be different from where you’re invoking the command. For UDP data, set the cmd=64.

To stop sending data, set the final parameter to 0.:

cmd = 64
msg = struct.pack('<4sxi16s8si', b'ISE4',
                  cmd,                  # =64 for UDP data
                  ip.encode('utf-8'),   # e.g., b'192.168.1.5'
                  port.encode('utf-8'), # e.g., b'50987'... characters, not an integer!
                  use_ip)               # 0=disable, 1=enable
sock.sendto(msg, (beacon['ip'], beacon['port']))

cmd	Purpose
0 - 18	Multiplayer
19 - 38	External visuals
39	Master machine, this is an external
42	Master machine, this is an IOS
62	IOS, this is master machine
64	data output target
71	Xavion 1
72	Xavion 2
73	Xavion 3
74	Xavion 4
75	Foreflight, one IP address
76	Foreflight, broadcast
77	X-Plane control pad for IOS

ISE6 is similar:

cmd = 64
msg = struct.pack('<4sxi65s6sxi', b'ISE6',
                  cmd,                  # =64 for UDP data
                  ip.encode('utf-8'),   # e.g., b'fe80::8f6:826:b4e1:76e3'
                  port.encode('utf-8'), # e.g., b'50987'... characters, not an integer!
                  use_ip)               # 0=disable, 1=enable
sock.sendto(msg, (beacon['ip'], beacon['port']))

Note that the port# of your socket can be found as sock.getsockname()[1]
