Host-to-Switcher Instructions

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required
to begin or end a command character sequence. When a command is valid, the unit
executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the unit
to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of

the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

Switcher-initiated Messages

When a local event, such as an equipment power-up, occurs, the unit responds by sending a
message to the host. The unit-initiated messages are listed below:
(c) Copyright 2010, Extron Electronics MTPX, Vx.xx, 60-nnnn-nn
<day, date, time>]
The switcher issues the

Copyright

message (above) when it first powers on. Vx.xx is the

firmware version number; 60-xxxx-xx is the part number of the connected unit.

NOTE: <Day, date, time> are reported only if the connection is via the LAN port.

]Password:
The switcher initiates the

Password

message immediately after the copyright message when

the controlling system is connected using TCP/IP or telnet and the switcher is password
protected. This message means that the switcher requires an administrator or user level
password before it will perform the commands entered via this link. The switcher repeats
the password message response for every entry other than a valid password until a valid
password is entered.
]Login Administrator]
]Login User]
The switcher initiates the

Login

message when a correct administrator or user password has

been entered. If the user and administrator passwords are the same, the switcher defaults to
administrator privileges.

Qik

Spr

message when a global preset has been saved from the front

panel. nn is the preset number.

The switcher initiates the

Rpr

message when a global preset has been recalled from the

Aud

message when a front panel input audio level change has

occurred. nn is the input number and xx is the dB level.

The switcher initiates the

Vol

message when a front panel output audio volume change has

occurred. nn is the input number and xx is the volume level.
