Creating program byte strings
Ethernet operation

The Matrix 12800 system can be controlled and programmed from a third-party
control system, via the RS-232/RS-422 port. The control systems need to be taught
what bytes to send to the system to communicate with the Matrix system.
Chapter 4 of this manual, Programmer's Guide, details the Extron Simple Instruction
Set (SIS and Advanced Instruction Set (AIS) and how to build these byte strings
using a pencil and paper. The Virtualization/Control program makes this job much
easier by building the strings for you. Generate the byte strings as follows:
1.
Create all the Matrix system settings (program) in either Emulate mode or on-
line.
2.
To see the strings, on the menu bar, click Tools>Show RS-232 Strings to show
the Program Strings screen (figure 3-13).
The strings that can be viewed produce the current ties, presets, audio
configuration, and RGB delay settings.

When a Matrix 12800 is connected to an Ethernet WAN or LAN, any number of
users can operate it, locally or remotely, using the Virtualization/Control program.
See Remote control panel and front panel controller/Ethernet connection in chapter 2,
Installation, for Ethernet installation details
Connection to the Matrix switcher via the Ethernet is password protected. There
are two levels of password protection: administrator and user. Personnel logged on
as an administrator have full access to all Matrix 12800 switching capabilities and
editing functions. Personnel logged on as a user can create ties, create and recall
presets, set RGB and audio mutes, and view all settings with the exception of
passwords. If the same passwords or no password is required for logging on, all
personnel log on with administrator privileges. Fields and functions that exceed
user privileges are grayed out in the Virtualization/Control program when the
operator is logged on as a user.
