RS-232 and Telnet Commands

The ELAN EL-4KM-VW44 can be controlled via serial and TCP/IP. The following pages list all available serial commands for the EL-4KM-VW44
Matrix. Details of RS-232 pin assignment can be found on page 5.
Commonly used Serial commands:
There are several commands that are commonly used for control and testing:-
STATUS
PON
POFF
OUTxxON
OUTxxFRyy
Common Mistakes
• Carriage return – Some programs do not require the carriage return where as other will not work unless sent directly after the string. In the
case of some Terminal software the token <CR> is used to execute a carriage return. Depending on the program you are using this token
maybe different. Some other examples that other control systems deploy include \r or 0D (in hex)
• Spaces – ELAN commands do not require space between commands unless specified. There may be some programs that require spacing in
order to work.
- How the string should look is as follows OUT01ON
- How the string may look if spaces are required: OUT{Space}01{Space}ON
• Baud rate or other serial protocol settings not correct - please see Page 5 for Matrix settings

Power on
Power off
(xx is the zone number you wish to turn on)
Example:- OUT01ON (This would turn output one back on)
(xx is the zone out, yy is the input)
Example:- OUT01FR04 (This would switch output 1 to source input 4)
