3.4 OPERATING FROM THE RS232 INPUT
A simple protocol allows all crosspoints to be set through the RS232 ports.
There are three independent RS232 inputs connectors (P1, P2, and P3) on the rear of
the Chameleon 64i unit; each may be connected to an upstream terminal, computer,
or other software-driven RS232 device. If multiple Chameleon 64i chassis are to be
interconnected, the RS232 input should go to P1 or P2; P3 will be used to daisy-
chain the RS232 signal to the next chassis.
CAUTION—While each port is independent of the other, there is an aggregate
maximum data transfer rate that can be accommodated by the Chameleon64i’s CPU.
Use caution in driving more than one port with heavy traffic at the same time.
A fourth RS232 port is available on the CPU card inside the Chameleon 64i. It is
reserved for use by the front panel controller, or for diagnostic use by service
personnel.
Note: You may use upper or lower case letters in any command.
ROUTING VIDEO:
To route video, send a four or six-byte command in the form:
Vxy(ENTER),
Vxxyy(ENTER),
where xx is an output number (01 to 64) and yy is an input number (01-64). The
number of digits in the input number must match the number of digits in the output
number.
Examples: V16[Enter], V1802[Enter]
