Configuring the TLX ASCII Interface
Accessing the ASCII Interface
The ASCII Interface is accessible via the serial RS-232 port located on the TLX Matrix
Switch’s Controller Card or over the network via a TCP connection. Both connections use
the same syntax. The command syntax is defined in the document:
Switch_ASCII_API.
The serial port is configured for 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and software flow
control. Each line contains only one command and must end with a carriage return (CR) and
line feed (LF), or just a line feed (LF). The characters are not echoed.
The network interface listens on TCP port 17567. It accepts the same commands as the serial
interface. You may use telnet to manually open a connection to control the Matrix Switch.
