"s" (5AA5) (STRING) Load Configuration
This command loads the string which follows it into the configuration RAM for the MA-100. It the key
isnÕt inserted and turned on the MA-100, this command will be rejected. Since the CONFIGURATION
DUMP command leads off its string with a 's5AA5', data saved in the configuration dump command can
be reloaded into the audio system by simply sending back.
To do this:
1) Tell your computer to send out the previously saved output string from the CONFIGURATION DUMP
command.

" " Display Mutes:
Hitting the space bar at any time will bring up on the screen of the terminal a display of all current
volume level settings and mutes. If sound isnÕt coming out of the MA-100/200s, try hitting the BAR> to see if the audio has simply been muted.

"?" (HALF MASK) (FULL MASK) Mute Masks:
This command is followed by an eight bit half-mute mask and an eight bit full-mute mask. Any out-
puts which are configured to respond to any of the bits set in these two bytes will take the appropriate
muting actions.

-"V" (ZONE#) (LEVEL) Set Volume Zone:
This command is followed by the volume zone number (1 through 8 are valid) and the level you wish
to set this zone to (00 - FFH). The addressed volume zone will be adjusted accordingly.
The character of -ÓVÓ was chosen for a couple of good reasons. First and foremost, we are
running out of ASCII characters to use as commands on our systems. Secondly, it makes it a good bit
harder to hit accidentally. Just so that you donÕt need to look it up if you are writing code to support this
feature from another computer, -ÓVÓ is equal to 16h in HEXadecimal or 22 in decimal num-
bers.

-"R" Repeater Pass Through:
This command is used when you need to talk directly to a repeater or Smart Brick System which is at-
tached to the MA-100. Once in this mode, all normal serial port commands will be unavailable from the
terminal port. Commands can then be sent to the repeaters and/or Smart Brick Brains attached to the
system just as if you were talking to them directly.
The character of -ÓRÓ was chosen for a couple of good reasons. First and foremost, we are
running out of ASCII characters to use as commands on our systems. Secondly, it makes it a good bit
harder to hit accidentally. Just so that you donÕt need to look it up if you are writing code to support this
feature from another computer, -ÓRÓ is equal to 12h in HEXadecimal or 18 in decimal num-
bers.
Be aware that if you leave the repeaters and/or Smart Brick Systems in any of the ÔechoÕ modes, that
they will be sending a lot of junk to the console that you may not want to see. The MA-100 talks to the
repeaters on a fairly regular basis, and these commands may be echoed.
To exit this mode, send the MA-100 an ASCII character (0Dh / 13 decimal).
