This page describes the sequence of events when a command is received from a networked device:

If the command is received on port 53000, and the source of the command is identified as the Master, Backup, or Secondary Master, the command is passed to the command parser

The following are attempted in sequence:

1. If the command is well-formatted OSC it will be passed to the OSC parser
2. If a status header is present, it is removed and processed
3. If Wintermute has a macro registered to the relevant node with a trigger that matches the incoming command, that macro will be played
4. Otherwise, a command in the form /cue/{node}_{command}/start will be sent to the Master and Backup Qlab machines, where “node” is the name of the node the command was received from, and “command” is the string received.

The receipt of information from an unknown node will be registered on the system log.
