SIS Commands

Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands are a set of commands developed by Extron.
These SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters
are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the MediaPort determines that a
command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device.
All responses from the product to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed
(CR/LF = ] ), indicating the end of the response character string (one or more characters).
The MediaPort 200 can be configured and controlled via a host computer attached
to the front panel USB Config port (see
232 port, or the rear panel LAN connector (see
commands using an application such as the Extron DataViewer, available at the
DataViewer Download Web page
For the RS-232 connection, the MediaPort uses a protocol of 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1
stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.

Power-Up Message

The MediaPort sends the following copyright message upon connection to the host when
the unit is powered up (the message displays on the computer screen only with an Ethernet
