Using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) Commands

The DTP2 T 212 can be remotely set up and controlled via Extron SIS commands that are
issued from a host computer or other device, such as a control system. SIS commands
can be issued via RS-232 from the computer serial port to the rear panel Remote port, or
via USB from the computer USB port to the front panel Config port (see
Control
ports).
Protocol for the RS-232 port: 9600 baud, no parity, 8-bit, 1 stop bit.
Host‑to‑switcher Communications
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command sequence. You can enter these commands from your
computer using a communication software program such as Extron DataViewer. When
the switcher determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a
response to the host device.
Responses from the DTP2 T 212 to the host computer end with a carriage return and a line
feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or
more characters.
Switcher‑initiated Messages
When a local event such as a front panel selection or change in signal status takes place,
the switcher responds by sending a message to the host, indicating what change has
occurred. No response is required from the host.
The switcher sends the following message when it is first powered on:
