Logic Applications

The block connecter model variation (ANI4IN-BLOCK) features three logic signal connections. Logic signals are converted into Ethernet command strings and

sent and received by any device (such as an echo canceller or control system) that supports Ethernet command strings.

logic signal (switch) to mute other audio equipment. The microphones receive logic signals (LED) so that the microphone LED behavior reflects the state of the

entire audio system.

ANI4IN Command Strings

Command Strings

The device is connected via Ethernet to a control system, such as AMX, Crestron or Extron.

Connection: Ethernet (TCP/IP; select "Client" in the AMX/Crestron program)

Port: 2202

Conventions

The device has 4 types of strings:

GET

Finds the status of a parameter. After the AMX/Crestron sends a GET command, the ANI4IN responds with a REPORT string

SET

Changes the status of a parameter. After the AMX/Crestron sends a SET command, the ANI4IN will respond with a REPORT string to indicate the new value

of the parameter.

REP

When the ANI4IN receives a GET or SET command, it will reply with a REPORT command to indicate the status of the parameter. REPORT is also sent by the

ANI4IN when a parameter is changed on the ANI4IN or through the GUI.

SAMPLE

Used for metering audio levels.

All messages sent and received are ASCII. Note that the level indicators and gain indicators are also in ASCII

Most parameters will send a REPORT command when they change. Thus, it is not necessary to constantly query parameters. The ANI4IN will send a REPORT

command when any of these parameters change.

The character "x" in all of the following strings represents the channel of the ANI4IN and can be ASCII numbers 0 through 4 as in the following table
