PRELIMINAR
Y
X17 = Time in tens of milliseconds to wait until the first
response character is received via a serial port
before terminating the current receive
operation (Default = 10 = 100 ms, max. =
32767.) The response includes leading zeros.
For commands that use both X17 and X20 , both
variables must be zero or both must be non-zero.
In the RS (send data) command,
X20 is optional.
X18 = Hardware (MAC) address (xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx)
(00-05-A6-xx-xx-xx)
X19 = Subnet mask (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). Leading zeros are
optional in setting values in each of four fields,
and they are suppressed in returned values.
Default = 255.255.0.0.
X20 = Time in tens of milliseconds to wait between
characters being received via a serial port
before terminating the current command or
receive operation. The response includes
leading zeros.
(Default = 2 = 20 ms, max. = 32767)
For commands that use both X17 and
X20
, both
variables must be zero or both must be non-zero.
In the RS (send data) command, X20 is optional.
X21 = Parameter (#L or #D) to set either the Length of
message to receive or the Delimiter value.
# = byte count (for L) or
# = a single ASCII character expressed in
decimal form (for D).
The parameter is case sensitive; you must use
capital D or capital L.
Byte count # can be from 0 to 32767,
default = 0.
The ASCII decimal # can be from 0 to 00255,
default = 00000L.
Examples:
A 3-byte length = 3L.
A delimiter of ASCII 0A = 10D.
The response from the MLC will include
leading zeros.
X22
= Verbose/response mode status:
0 = clear/none, default for Telnet connections;
responses are not echoed to the host
1 = verbose mode is on, default for RS-232
host control; responses are echoed to the host
and displayed to the user
2 = send tagged responses for queries
3 = verbose mode is on and tagged responses
are sent for queries
If tagged responses are enabled, all read commands
return the constant string + data, the same as for
setting a value. For example, for
Esc CN ,
the response is Ipn• X12 rather than just the
data.
X23 = Priority status for receiving timeouts:
0 = use send data string command parameters
(0 = default)
1 = use configure receive timeout command
parameters
X24 = IP address converted from four octets to a single
to a decimal number; e.g.:
10.13.0.254 = [(10*256*256*256) + (13*256*256)
+ (0*256) + (254)] =
[(10*256
3 ) + (13*256 2 ) + (0*256 1 ) + (254*256 0 )] =
168,624,362 (decimal)
Symbol definitions
= CR/LF (carriage return/line feed) (hex 0D 0A)
= Carriage return (no line feed, hex 0D)
(use the pipe character, | , instead for Web
browser commands)
• = Space character
| = Pipe (vertical bar) character
Esc = Escape key (hex 1B)
(use W instead of Esc for Web browsers)
X1 = Specific port number or relay number (01 – 99)
represented as two ASCII characters (two bytes)
Ports:
01 = rear host (Config/RS-232 port)
02 = front panel Config port
03 = slaved switcher (MLS port)
04 = projector port (Proj RS-232/IR)
X2 = Command data section.
For Web encoding only : data will be directed to the
specified port and must be encoded (URL encoding)
if it is non-alphanumeric. Change any non-
alphanumeric
character (%, +, |, , etc.) within
the data section into the corresponding hexadecimal
equivalent, %xx, where xx represents the two-
character hex byte. For example, a space (hex: 20)
would be encoded as %20 (hex: 25 32 30) and a plus
sign (hex: 2B) would be encoded as %2B or hex 25
32 42.
X3 = Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) offset value
(-12.00 to +14.00) represents the time difference
in hours and minutes (+/-hh:mm) relative to
Greenwich, England. The leading zero is
optional. For example, 5:30 = 05:30. Do not use
a plus (+) sign if the GMT offset is positive.
X5 = On/off status
0 = off/disable
1 = on/enable
X8 = Volume level (0 – 100 steps). When no MLS is
detected at the MLS port, the range is limited by
the max. volume command (X*47#).
Default volume = 40 when no MLS switcher is
detected at the MLS port.
Default volume = 100 when slave mode (X*41*)
is active and an MLS switcher is detected at the
MLS port.
X11 = Version (typically listed to two decimal places,
e.g., x.xx)
X12 = MLC’s name. The name is a text string of up to 24
characters drawn from the alphabet (A-Z),
digits (0-9), and minus sign/hyphen (-). No
blank or space characters are permitted as part
of a name. No distinction is made between
upper and lower case. The first character must
be a letter. The last character must not be a
minus sign/hyphen.
X13 = Local date and time format
Set format (MM/DD/YY-HH:MM:SS).
Example: 01/18/05-10:54:00.
Read format (day of week, date month year
HH:MM:SS). Example: Tue, 18 Jan 2005
18:19:33.
X14 = IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). Leading zeros in each
of four fields are optional in setting values, and
they are suppressed in returned values.
MLC’s default: 192.168.254.254
X15 = E-mail domain name; for example, extron.com
