Using Verbose Mode

Telnet connections to a FOX 4G Matrix 14400 switcher can be used to monitor
for changes that occur on the switcher, such as front panel operations and SIS
commands from other telnet sockets or a serial port. For a telnet session to receive
change notices from the switcher, the telnet session must be in verbose mode 3. See
the Set Verbose Mode SIS command on page 3-18. In verbose mode 3, the telnet
socket reports changes in messages that resemble SIS command responses.

Host-to-Switcher Instructions

The switcher accepts SIS commands through either serial port and the LAN port.
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do not
require any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence.
Each switcher response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line
feed (CR/LF =
is one or more characters.

Switcher-Initiated Messages

When a local event such as a front panel operation occurs, the switcher responds
by sending a message to the host. The switcher-initiated messages are listed below
(underlined).
(c) Copyright 2008, Extron Electronics, FOX 4G Matrix 14400, Vx.xx, 60-696-01
The switcher initiates the copyright message when it is first powered on or when
connection via Internet protocol (IP) is established. Vx.xx is the firmware version
number.
]
The switcher initiates the password message immediately after the copyright
message when the controlling system is connected using TCP/IP or telnet and the
switcher is password protected. This message means that the switcher requires an
administrator or user level password before it will perform the commands entered
via this link. The switcher repeats the password message response for every entry
other than a valid password until a valid password is entered.
]
]
The switcher initiates the login message when a correct administrator or user
password has been entered. If the user and administrator passwords are the same,
the switcher defaults to administrator privileges.
