Host-to-MPS Communications

The MPS switcher accepts SIS commands through the RS-232 or USB configuration port.
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do not require
special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. Each response to an
SIS command ends 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.

MPS Switcher-initiated Messages

When a local event occurs, such as a front panel operation, the MPS switcher responds
by sending a message to the host. The MPS 602-initiated messages are listed below
(underlined).

Boot-up messages

(c) Copyright 20 nn, Extron Electronics, MPS 602, Vx.xx

]

The copyright message is initiated by the switcher when it is first powered on and
connected using the RS-232 serial connector.

Vx.xx

is the firmware version number.

Status change messages

The switcher-initiated status change messages are a result of front panel operations (actual
or software-simulated). The status change messages are the same as switcher responses
to certain commands (see the last column of the command and response tables starting on
page 27).
