Abbreviated Command Examples
The general format of commands is as follows:
Definition of output(s) to be acted upon (Zone, Group, Main, All
Address letter of output (row), when selecting Cat 5 output
Cat 5 output port number (column), when selecting Cat 5 outputs
Source number to be routed to the output(s)
ZC23
Example 1. To route source input 3 to the main AVAtrix output, send the following command:
M3 (The AVAtrix selects source 3 to its main output)
Example 2. To change the source assigned to an individual zone, enter “Z” followed by the letter of the row,
followed by the number of the column (zone number) from 1 to 6, followed by the number of the source input
from 1 to 6. To assign source input 5 to the 2nd Cat 5 zone on the “C” row (second 1176 expander), send the
code:
ZC25 (Source 5 is selected to zone C2)
Example 3. To assign the same input source to all the zones, send the following command:
X4 (All Cat 5 zones output source 4)
Example 4. To change the source to an entire zone group, enter “Z” followed by the group number, followed
by the desired source input number. To assign source 3 to group 2, enter the code:
G23 (All zones in group 2 play Source 3)
NOTE: If zone groups have not been assigned, no action results from this command.
