Serial Protocol
Serial Port Settings
The serial port operates at 115.2k baud, no parity, 8 data, 1 stop. No hardware
flow control is used.
Legacy Protocol
Some of the models covered in this manual support legacy serial control codes.
It should not be necessary to modify or port your code to the new protocol as
long as the model being replaced is the same model name and configuration.
The legacy codes are described in each of the respective products serial manual,
available at: www.neoprointegrator.com
Commands Overview
Commands are structured so that a control program has two-way communication
with the matrix. The control system can confirm and store the state of the matrix
switch. These commands are also human readable ASCII text, which will help in
troubleshooting and testing.
The matrix may also be controlled with one way serial communications.
All models have the ability to switch audio and video separately. Thus matrix
looks like several independent switches. These “levels” are also called
Command Types.
Common Structures and Syntax
Commands are not case sensitive. Upper and lower case characters are used in
this manual, but have the same effect.
Numbers are 1 or 2 digits, (leading zeroes not required).
Spaces are not permitted within the square braces—they will generate an error.
Bold font is used to indicate actual code that is entered or displayed. Italics are
used to describe the contents, but are not actual code.
A command is always wrapped in square braces:
[command]
It is not necessary to follow the command by any carriage returns or other
special characters. The closing brace will trigger the switch to process the
command.
