Host-to-Switcher Instructions

The switcher accepts SIS (Simple Instruction Set) commands through either serial
port and the LAN port. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per
command field. They do not require any special characters to begin or end the
command character sequence. Each switcher response to an SIS command ends
with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF =
response character string. A string is one or more characters.

Switcher-Initiated Messages

When the connection is via a serial port or the switcher is in verbose mode 2 or 3,
and a local event such as a front panel operation occurs, the switcher responds by
sending a message to the host. The switcher-initiated messages are listed below
(underlined).
(c) Copyright 2009, Extron Electronics, FOX 4G Matrix 3200, Vx.xx, 60-nnnn-01
{day,date, time}
— or —
(c) Copyright 2009, Extron Electronics, FOX 4G Matrix 7200, Vx.xx, 60-nnnn-01
{day,date, time}
The switcher initiates the copyright message when it is first powered on or when
connection via Internet protocol (IP) is established. Vx.xx is the firmware version
number.
N {Day, date, time} are reported only if the connection is via the LAN port.
]
The switcher initiates the password message immediately after the copyright
message when the controlling system is connected using TCP/IP or Telnet and the
switcher is password protected. This message means that the switcher requires an
administrator or user level password before it will perform the commands entered
via this link. The switcher repeats the password message response for every entry
other than a valid password until a valid password is entered.

The switcher initiates the login message when a correct administrator or user
password has been entered. If the user and administrator passwords are the same,
the switcher defaults to administrator privileges.
Qik
The switcher initiates the Qik message when a front panel switching operation has
occurred.
Sprnn
The switcher initiates the Spr message when a memory preset has been saved from
the front panel. nn is the preset number.
Rprnn
The switcher initiates the Rpr message when a memory preset has been recalled
from the front panel. nn is the preset number.
Vmtnn*x
The switcher initiates the Vmt message when a channel output mute is toggled
on or off from the front panel. nn is the output number and x is the mute status:
1 = on, 0 = off.
