Command/Response Tables for DSP SIS Commands

Connection Options

The MVC 121 Plus can be remotely connected via a host computer or other device (such
as a control system) attached to the rear panel RS-232 port, or the front panel USB Config
port.
The MVC can be set up and controlled using the Extron SIS (Simple Instruction Set
commands, or DSP Configurator software (see

Rear Panel Features

on page 4 for

RS-232 pin assignments and details on the configuration and control port connections).
For information on DSP Configurator see

Software Control

.

SIS commands may be executed using the Extron Electronics DataViewer program, which
may be found on the Software Products DVD included with the product.
MVC 121 Plus RS-232 protocol:

• 38400 baud

• no parity

• 8 data bits

• no flow control

• 1 stop bit

NOTE: The RS-232 configuration port requires 38400 baud communication. This is a

higher speed than many other Extron Electronics products use. The
DSP Configurator automatically sets the connection for the appropriate
speed. If using HyperTerminal or a similar application, make sure the PC or
control system connected to these ports is set for 38400 baud.

See

Rear Panel Features

, for additional details on connecting the RS-232 port.

USB port details:
The Extron USB driver must be installed before use. See

Install the USB Driver

for driver

installation instructions.

RS-232 Port

The MVC 121 Plus has a rear panel serial port that can be connected to a host device such
as a computer running the HyperTerminal utility, or the DataViewer utility. The port makes
serial control of the mixer possible. Use the protocol information mentioned previously to
make the connection. Once the connection is made, see

Using the Command/Response

Tables

on the next page for SIS programming details.
