Use of device IDs
For responses and messages, device IDs are output as hexadecimal values including
the prefix 0x ( as of version 1.1 of the XML API).
In commands, device IDs can be stated as hexadecimal values including the prefix 0x ,
as octal values including the prefix 0 or as decimal values.
Use of port names
As of version 1.1 of the XML API, port names are always output in a visible notation.
The port names are teh same as printed on the device panel:
 For matrix switches of the DVICenter series , ports are output starting with 1
( 1, 2, … ).
 For matrix switches of the ControlCenter-Digital series, ports are output as a combi-
nation of slot and port ( 1.1, 1.2, … ).
Responses and messages of G&D devices
As of version 1.1 of the XML API, G&D devices respond with a complete XML doc-
ument after processing an XML document.

some responses, however, IDs were output as hexadecimal values.
NOTE: The new port names are the same as the names stated in the logs and the
printings on the device panel.

tured plain text.
