Page 8: Installation
Overview The ICC-STA architecture provides a common link for 2-way RS-232 control with an ICA-FT6 panel, and 2-way system control over RF coax to a control system. To simplify system programming, the STA and FT6 manage volume up/down, channel up/down and text display by themselves. The control system handles special and system-wide functions such as audio paging, attendant/concierge call, light on/off or other custom applications. -
Page 9: Rs-232 Device Control Protocol
ICC-STA whenever a valid command for that group is received from the iC-Net bus, the RS-232 ports (Terminal or Control port), or the ICA-FT6 panel. In addition, both strings are sent when the units power In most installations, the installer will connect the ICA-FT6 to the ICC-STA Panel port, apply power to the ICC- STA, and then communicate to both via the ICC-STA Terminal port. -
Page 10: Rs-232 Icc-Sta Commands
A carriage return is required at the end of each command use ASCII CR, Hex $0D, or keyboard ‘Enter’. The ‘=’ sign for parameters may be omitted if desired, though it is helpful for clarity in checking programming. Leading zeros may be included or omitted from command parameters. Contemporary Research Description >EN Enables character echo so you can see typed characters on screen. -
Page 11: Rs-232 Icc-Sta Response Strings
ICC-STA status response strings contain ASCII characters similar to those used for the same functions in command strings. An ASCII 'carriage return' and ‘line feed' follow each response string.

Channel Labels “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,<ncb>,‘TN’,<channel>,<label>” (variable bytes) Stores an ASCII string as the channel label. The text will display on the ICA-FT6 if the feature has been activated by the TM command.
