Autostatus
When Autostatus is enabled, any output-to-input connection change in the UNIMUX will cause an Autostatus message to be sent
via RS232 to the administrator. The format of the message would be "pc SW,OP:IP<CR>"
Example of an Autostatus message:
pc 01,01:04<CR>
which means "At the switch with unit address 01, the user port 01 has changed connection to CPU port 04."
Notes: Message to the administrator will be delayed by any RS232 traffic being received by the switch from the
administrator.
Autostatus must be disabled before using SerTest or the Matrix Switcher's Control Program (below).
By default, Autostatus is disabled and must be manually enabled. Autostatus is also disabled any time the power to the
UNIMUX is interrupted.
