Page 5: Introduction
Most Quartz products have a built in serial port that is link selectable between RS422 and RS232 mode. For older routing products see the section at the end of this document. 1.1.1. Quartz D9 Serial Pin-Out The full router pin-out is shown below: RS232... -

Page 8: Ethernet Physical Interface
Application Note 65 Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol ETHERNET PHYSICAL INTERFACE More recent Quartz products such as the EQX, SC-1000, Q256, Xenon and Topaz are equipped with an Ethernet port. These support 100base2 or 10base2 Ethernet using CAT5 cable. The network should ideally be closed (or at least isolated with a suitable switch) for use with devices on the Quartz routing system. - Page 9 Application Note 65 Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol 5. The routing controller will terminate all connections on a download of a new configuration so the clients program should cope with losing and re-establishing this connection to the controller. The SC-1000 controller allows the user to see a list of the currently active TCP/IP connections via both the configuration port and the LCD window on the front of the unit.

Page 10: Commands
Application Note 65 Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol COMMANDS All characters used should be in upper case. Values in { } brackets are variable fields. Values in [ ] brackets are optional variable fields. Values in () brackets are non-printable characters i.e. carriage return (cr). -
Page 11: Multiple Set Xpt Message
Application Note 65 Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol level = “VAB”; /* levels to be controlled */ dest = 5; /* matrix output */ srce = 2; /* matrix input */ RS232_printf(".S%s%d,%d\r", level, dest, srce); 3.1.1. Multiple Set Xpt Message This command allows a block of up to 16 routes to be set from one command providing that the command does not exceed 256 bytes in length. -
Page 12: System Destination Lock
Application Note 65 Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol The router replies to this command with either an acknowledge or error message. The acknowledge command will indicate purely that the command has been received and is being processed. The routing system will then process the route takes within the command and issue update messages for each valid route request. -
Page 13: Interrogate Route
Application Note 65 Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol The router replies to the command with .A (cr) 3.4. INTERROGATE ROUTE This allows a single destination to be interrogated to find the current source routed to it .I{level}{dest}(cr) The router replies with .A{level}{dest},{srce}(cr) Please note that destinations that have been routed via tielines modify the returned source value to indicate the control level the source has been routed from. -
Page 14: Read Name Table
Application Note 65 Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol Example ‘C’ code to list routes (format 1). level = “V”; /* levels to be controlled */ dest = 5; /* matrix output */ RS232_printf(".L%s%d,-\r", level, dest); Format (2): List from the specified destination only those destinations using the specified source. .L{level}{dest},{srce}(cr) The router replies with .A{level}{dest},{srce}{level}{dest},{srce} ... -
Page 15: Write Name Table
Application Note 65 Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol where the {dest} field is a ASCII representation of a number between 1 and the maximum destination. .RT{source}(cr) Read a source mnemonic where the {source} field is a ASCII representation of a number between 1 and the maximum source. .RM{level}(cr) Read a level mnemonic where the {level} field is one of the following ASCII characters: (V,A,B,C,D,E,F,G). -
Page 16: Read Configuration (Embedded Control System Only)
Application Note 65 Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol .WE{dest},{mnemonic string}(cr) Write a destination mnemonic .WT{source},{mnemonic string}(cr) Write a source mnemonic .WM{level},{mnemonic string}(cr) Write a level mnemonic where the {dest}/{source} field is a ASCII representation of a number between 1 and the maximum destination/source. -
Page 17: Queue (Salvo) Command
Application Note 65 Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol 3.11. QUEUE (SALVO) COMMAND This command allows the user to dynamically create, destroy, modify and fire multiple salvos during runtime. These salvos are the same set as the system salvos created by WinSetup and fired using the .F{salvo} or .QF{salvo} command. -
Page 18: Fire A Salvo
Application Note 65 Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol 3.11.4. Fire a Salvo Fire immediately: .QF{n}(cr) – Fires salvo n. If the salvo exists, the router will respond with: .A(cr) Or fire at specified time (assumes hardware support for time code reference): .QF{n}T1:hh:mm:ss:ff(cr) –... -
Page 19: General Engineering Commands
Application Note 65 Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol Examples Action Command Response Create salvo 10, making it the currently active salvo .QC10(cr) .QC10(cr) Empty salvo 10 (make sure it is empty) .QR10(cr) .A(cr) Send crosspoint to salvo 10 .QSV1,4(cr) .A(cr) Send crosspoint to salvo 10 .QSV3,2(cr) -

Page 21: Responses
Application Note 65 Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol RESPONSES 4.1. ACKNOWLEDGE Acknowledge is used as a no error response to some messages: .A(cr) 4.2. ERRORS If an error is detected in any sequence prior to a (cr), the matrix replies with: .E(cr) 4.3. - Page 22 Application Note 65 Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol For example the take request: .SVA1,2(cr) Could result in the following response: .UV001,8194(cr) This response means that destination 1 on control level 1 (‘V’) is routed via a tieline to source 2 on control level 2.

Page 25: Timing (Embedded Control Systems)
Application Note 65 Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol TIMING (EMBEDDED CONTROL SYSTEMS) With an embedded control system (V5 firmware) operating at 38400 baud the system can cope with an overall crosspoint set rate of one change every 16ms when the serial link is directly into the master. For links into slave devices the timing and crosspoint set rate are dependent on the number of Q-Link devices. -
Page 26: Older Systems
Application Note 65 Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol OLDER SYSTEMS Older products that do NOT use the FU-0003 processor must have a Computer Interface fitted before the RS232/422 port can be used. As this is an option, it must be ordered separately. RS232 or RS422 are link selectable on the CI-0001. - Page 27 Application Note 65 Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol APPENDIX A Commands supported in different products: Commands .#00 .#01 .#12 .#23 .#34 .#40 .#41 .#42 .#43 Page - 23 Revision 1.4...
