Switcher-Initiated Messages

When a local event such as a power-up occurs, the switcher responds by sending a

message to the host. The switcher-initiated messages are listed below (underlined).

]

(C) Copyright 2003, Extron Electronics Matrix12800, Vx.xx,date and time

]

The BME initiates the copyright message when it is first powered on or when

connection via Internet protocol (IP) is established. “Vx.xx“ is the firmware version

number. “date and time“ is the date and time of the connection and is only reported

when the connection is made via the Ethernet port.

]

Password:

]

The BME initiates the password message immediately after the copyright

message when the controlling system is connected using TCP/IP or Telnet and the

switcher is password protected. This message means that the switcher requires

an administrator or user level password before it performs the commands entered

via this link. The switcher repeats the password message response for every entry

other than a valid password until a valid password is entered.

]

Login Administrator

]

— or —

]

Login User

]

The BME initiates the login message when a correct administrator or user password

has been entered. If the user and administrator passwords are the same, the

switcher defaults to administrator privileges.

]

All Configuration Memory Cleared

]

The BME initiates the memory cleared message when a system reset has occurred.
The BME does not expect a response from the host, but, for example, the host

program might request a new status.

Switcher Error Responses

When the BME receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs

the command and sends a response to the host device. If the switcher is unable

to perform the command because the command is invalid or contains invalid

parameters, the switcher returns an error response to the host. The error response

codes are:
E01 — Invalid input channel number (too large)

E10 — Invalid command

E11 — Invalid preset number

E12 — Invalid output number (too large)

E13 — Invalid value (out of range)

E14 — Illegal command for this configuration

E17 — Timeout (caused only by direct write of global ties presets)

E20 — Invalid BME number

E21 — Invalid room number

E22 — Busy

E24 — Privilege violation (Ethernet, Extron software only)

E25 — Device not present
