  • Page 29 RS-232 / RS-485 Communication Protocol NOTES on the above table: NOTE 1 - When the master switcher is reset, (e.g. when it is turned on), the reset code is sent to the PC. If this code is sent to the switchers, it will reset according to the present power-down settings. NOTE 2 - These are bi-directional definitions.
  • Page 30 RS-232 / RS-485 Communication Protocol If the request for identification is sent with the INPUT set as 3 or 4, the appropriate machine will send its software version number. Again, the reply would be the decimal value of the INPUT and OUTPUT - the INPUT representing the number in front of the decimal point, and the OUTPUT representing the number after it.
