20. [SID+]
This command sets the card ID of all the cards
in a system to their slot number plus the offset
value.
Command Format: [SID+n]
n = Offset amount (n = # from 0 to 99)
The maximum card ID is 99, so subtract
the highest slot number from 99 to find
the maximum offset. For example, in an
8-slot enclosure, the maximum offset
would be 91. The slot number (8) plus the
offset (91) equals 99.
Example:
There are two 20-slot enclosures to be
connected together during normal operation.
The first unit will use the default IDs where the
card ID is equal to the slot number. The second
unit will have the same unit ID, but each card ID
will be offset by 20.
Connect the computer to the second unit only.
Send [SID+20] to set the ID of all the cards in
the second enclosure to their slot number plus
20. Reconnect both units to the computer.
The cards in the first unit will be referenced as
card IDs 1-20 and the cards in the second unit
will be referenced by card IDs 21-40.
21. [RSN]
This command displays the slot number of a
card with a specified ID number. If more than
one card has the same ID, each slot number will
be displayed.
Command Format: [RSNCi]
Ci = Card ID (i = # from 1 to 99)
Example:
The card in slot 4 takes up four slots in the
enclosure. Its ID was set to 1 since it is the first
card installed in the system, reading from left to
right. Send the command [RSNC1] to find the
slot number of this card. The system responds
with the following feedback:
[4]
GROUP COMMANDS
The next few commands are group commands.
The use of groups allows several cards with the
same functions to be controlled simultaneously
using a single command. Up to 8 groups
(G1-G8) may be defined in a MultiTasker
system. These commands apply to all cards,
not only the MT115-110.
22. [WR]
This command adds cards to a group allowing
all the group members to be controlled
simultaneously with the same commands. Each
MultiTasker unit may define a maximum of eight
groups.
In MultiTasker systems with audio and video
cards, the groups are typically as follows:
Group 1 = Video Cards
Group 2 = Audio Cards
Group 3 = Video and Audio Cards
Command Format: [WRCn

…Gk]
Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots)
Gk = Group number (k = # from 1-8)
Example:
Add C2, C4, and C6 to G5 by sending the
command [WRC2C4C6G5]. After executing this
command, C2, C4, and C6 will be G5. The
system will return the following feedback:
[G5=C2C4C6]
Now when a command is sent to G5, each
board in G5 will execute the same command.
23. [RMC]
This command may be used to remove one or
more group members from a group. Reset the
system after using this command for all changes
to take effect.
