Livewire Command Line Interface (Livewire CLI) is a command-line tool to view and change Axia Livewire Audio Routes, Axia Livewire GPIO pin states, Axia Console Channel Settings, and VMix Settings. Simply run the EXEs, add the IP addresse of the LWRP or LWCP device you wish to control, and select from a wide range of parameters.

This tool allows you to automate many common Livewire tasks from the Windows Task Scheduler, Batch Files, or any Radio Automation System that allows you to trigger EXEs – using a very simple syntax to get and set many common properties in Axia devices. You could even call these EXEs from your own in-house software tools. When you purchase Livewire CLI, you receive two EXE:

• Livewire-Routing-CLI.exe
  Control Axia Audio Routes, and GPIO.
• Livewire-Control-CLI.exe
  Control Axia Consoles, and VMixes.

This app is focused on viewing and changing routes and GPIO changes from Livewire Routing Protocol Devices (Notes, QoRs, Processors, IP Drivers, etc.). It also now allows you to view or change V-Mixes and console settings on Axia Livewire consoles (Element, Fusion, Radius, iQ, and DESQ).

V-Mix settings on the Axia Radius, iQ and DESQ consoles is not supported.

This tool can be thought of as a command-line version of the Livewire Simple Delegation Switcher – with added support for Axia Console settings, perfect for automating regular tasks without other expensive software or hardware packages. This app is perfect for small Livewire networks.

• Usage Instructions – Console & VMix
• License

Purchase Livewire CLI

Each license you purchase is for one radio station (one unique audio output on FM, AM, DAB, Internet, HD Radio, or any other medium). We ask that you respect this licensing restrictions and purchase multiple copies based on the number of radio stations you’re running – but in reality we have no way of keeping tabs on your usage or enforcing this restriction. However, purchasing each license helps me develop this and other Livewire apps, such as my open source Livewire Simple Delegation Switcher and Livewire Routing Protocol Client for Python.

Livewire CLI was not created or endorsed by The Telos Alliance (the creators of Livewire). This is an independent software project that builds on top of other excellent Livewire products.

System Requirements

• Windows 7 or later
• Windows Server 2008 R2 or later
• LAN access to Livewire Routing Protocol Devices (TCP Port 93), and/or Livewire Control Protocol Devices (TCP Port 4010)

Command Line Usage – Audio & GPIO

If you are likely to run multiple instances of this app at the same time, we recommend you use the option ‘–disable_logging’ to disable logging to the hard-disk.

Command Line Usage – Console & VMix

If you are likely to run multiple instances of this app at the same time, we recommend you use the option ‘–disable_logging’ to disable logging to the hard-disk.

Examples – Audio & Routing

These examples use the EXE ‘Livewire-Routing-CLI.exe’.

In all these examples, we’re connecting to the Livewire device on IP Address ‘127.0.0.1’.

• Set Destination Channel #1 to Livewire Stream Number ‘123’:

  Livewire-Routing-CLI.exe 127.0.0.1 --destinationnum 1 --set_chlw 123

• Set Destination Channel #1 to Livewire Stream Number ‘123’ (backstream):

  Livewire-Routing-CLI.exe 127.0.0.1 --destinationnum 1 --set_chlw 123 --set_chlwtype=backstream

• Set Source Channel #1 to Livewire Stream Number ‘123′:

  Livewire-Routing-CLI.exe 127.0.0.1 --sourcenum 1 --set_chlw 123

• Get Source Channel #1 Livewire Stream Number:

  Livewire-Routing-CLI.exe 127.0.0.1 --sourcenum 1 --get_chlw

  Livewire-Routing-CLI.exe 127.0.0.1 --gpio_port_num 1 --gpio_pin_num 2 —set_gpopinstate=LOW

• Set GPO Port #1 Pin #2 to LOW (Momentary):

  Livewire-Routing-CLI.exe 127.0.0.1 --gpio_port_num 1 --gpio_pin_num 2 —set_gpopinstate=LOW --set_gpiomomentary
