Page 5: Introduction
There are a variety of model styles available: A single table box system employs a single FSR HV-T6 table box that allows 1 to 4 users to plug in and power their laptops or other input devices and simply push a button to display their desktop information on the main display.

Page 7: Operation
OPERATION Power up the system via the power switch located on the AC side of the HV-CTL Control Unit. The Green LEDs on the Table Boxes (referred to as "TB" from this point on) will flash for approximately 3 seconds and then turn off.

RS-232 PROTOCOL HV-CTL BEHAVIOR Power up the system via the power switch located on the AC side of the HV-CTL Control Unit. The Green LEDS on the Table Boxes (referred to as "TB" from this point on) will flash for approximately 3 seconds and then turn off.
Page 12: Powering The Monitor On/Off Serially
The user may also LOCK or UNLOCK ALL inputs simultaneously. POWERING THE MONITOR ON/OFF SERIALLY The HV-CTL also allows the user to power the monitor ON/OFF via the serial interface (see command description below). The user may power the monitor ON via the serial PWR ON command. The behavior of the LEDs when the monitor is powered ON or OFF is the same as that when it is powered on via the appropriate switch input previously described.
Page 13: Huddle Vu Serial Commands
HUDDLE VU SERIAL COMMANDS The HV-CTL supports a serial command interface that allows the user to configure the HV-CTL and to query current status via User Serial Port 2. Some of the commands duplicate the functionality available via the switch inputs, allowing the user to set the current source input and power the monitor ON or OFF. (See below for a complete description of the available commands.) NOTE: Serial port 1 is not active at this time�...
Page 14: Request/Response Format
REQUEST/RESPONSE FORMAT All requests and responses are entirely in ASCII. The requests can be in either upper or lower case. All requests/responses have a type field followed by the data required for that specific request/response. All requests are terminated with a carriage return (0Dh), which is referred to in this document as <cr> or with a semi-colon character (;).
Page 15: Acknowledging Receipt Of Commands
ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT OF COMMANDS Each request sent to the HV-CTL have by default two possible responses, an acknowledgement of a correct request or an error response. The acknowledge response will be: Ok<cr><lf>. The HV-CTL may also be configured via command (see below) to suppress all responses. The user should exercise care when configuring no response as the user will obviously have no feedback as to the success of the command.
Page 16: Connection Request
CONNECTION REQUEST The CON request is used to connect an input to the monitor. Only one input can be connected at any one time. The specified input causes the HV-CTL to configure the 4x1 HDMI switchers appropriately. <input_to_connect> | <"?"> <cr>...
Page 17: Help Request
HELP REQUEST The user will be able to request a list of the valid commands with descriptions and formats. The format for this request is as follows: [cmd] <cr> HLP [cmd] <cr> Syntax: HLP [cmd]<cr> Where: HLP Help Request header optional command identifier If the optional cmd is omitted, the HV-CTL will respond with the following text message: Connect specified input.

LOCK REQUEST The LOCK request is used to prevent the specified switch input(s) from being recognized. LOCK <input_to_lock> | <"ALL"> | <"?"> <cr> Syntax: LOCK < input_to_lock > | <"ALL"> <"?"><cr> Where: LOCK request header input_to_lock = 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 7. "ALL"...
Page 20: Power Request
POWER REQUEST The PWR request allows the user to turn the AC receptacles and AUX Relay output on the HV-CTL on or off. <"ON"|"OFF"> <cr> Syntax: PWR <"ON"|"OFF"><cr> Where: PWR request header = Turns AC receptacles and AUX relay output on. "ON"...
Page 21: Relay Request
RELAY REQUEST The RLY request allows the user to turn the relay on or off. This is functionally equivalent to the PWR request. <"ON"|"OFF"> <cr> Syntax: RLY <"ON"|"OFF"><cr> Where: RLY request header = Turns AC receptacles and AUX relay output on. "ON"...
Page 22: Response Request
RESPONSE REQUEST The RSP request allows the user to turn on/off responses to commands to the HV-CTL should they so desire. The default configuration on a power cycle is to send responses. <"Y"|"N"> <cr> Syntax: RSP <"Y"|"N"><cr> Where: RSP request header = Send responses to commands.
Page 23: Serial Bit Rate Request
SERIAL BIT RATE REQUEST The SBR request allows the user to configure the bit rates of User Serial Port 2, connected to the HDMI 4x1 switchers. NOTE: Port 1 is not currently configurable via serial. <<"S1"|"S2"><"1"|"2"|"3"|"4"|"5"|"6">> <cr> | <"?"> Syntax: SBR <<"S1"|"S2"><"1"|"2"|"3"|"4"|"5"|"6">>...

Page 26: Version Request
VERSION REQUEST The user may request a description of the part number and the current firmware version number by making this VER request. The format for the request will be as follows: <cr> Syntax: VER<cr> Where: VER request header Response: VER <Part#> <Revision#> Where: Part# = HV-CTL Revision# = XX.xx, XX = Major version number, xx = Minor version number.
Page 27: Verbose Request
VERBOSE REQUEST The user can, during debugging, turn on verbose mode to expand the standard error message describing the syntax to include a description of the command parameters. Verbose mode is off by default. <"Y"|"N"> <cr> Syntax: VRB <"Y"|"N"><cr> Where: VRB request header = Turns verbose mode on.
