Terminal Operation
A separate serial control port is used to control a Platinum router from an external computer
or automation system. The serial port may be used to monitor the system matrix
configuration, determine the current status of crosspoint connections, change crosspoint
connections in any matrix, and setup pre-programmed crosspoint takes sequences, or
salvos. These (and other) operations are assigned to the serial port via a series of commands
called "terminal operation" commands. You can find a list of the terminal commands
available for the Platinum router starting on page 445.
Establishing Terminal Operations Session
Before you configure your Platinum product, you will need to initiate a terminal operation
session. You need to determine which type of setup you will use:
For a standalone or network system with serial connections, see
