Host-to-Switcher Instructions
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required
to begin or end a command character sequence. When a command is valid, the unit
executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the unit
to the host end 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.
Switcher-initiated Messages
When a local event, such as an equipment power-up, occurs, the unit responds by sending a
message to the host. The unit-initiated messages are listed below:
(c) Copyright 2010, Extron Electronics MTPX, Vx.xx, 60-nnnn-nn
<day, date, time>]
The switcher issues the
Copyright
message (above) when it first powers on. Vx.xx is the
firmware version number; 60-xxxx-xx is the part number of the connected unit.
NOTE: <Day, date, time> are reported only if the connection is via the LAN port.
]Password:
The switcher 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 will perform 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]
]Login User]
The switcher 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.

The switcher initiates the
Qik
message when a front panel switching operation has occurred.
Sprnn]
The switcher initiates the
Spr
message when a global preset has been saved from the front
panel. nn is the preset number.
Rprnn]
The switcher initiates the
Rpr
message when a global preset has been recalled from the
front panel. nn is the preset number.
InnnAudxx]
The switcher initiates the
Aud
message when a front panel input audio level change has
occurred. nn is the input number and xx is the dB level.
OutnnVolxx]
The switcher initiates the
Vol
message when a front panel output audio volume change has
occurred. nn is the input number and xx is the volume level.
Amtnn*x]
The switcher initiates the
Amt
message when an audio or RS-232 output mute is toggled
on or off from the front panel. nn is the output number and x is the mute status: 1= on,
0 = off.
