    INSTALLING YOUR MT110-100/102 Step 1. Turn off power to the MultiTasker™ enclosure. Step 2. Slide the MT110-100/102 into an available slot in the MultiTasker™ Basic Enclosure in order to connect to the bus. Make sure that the MT110-100/102 card fits into place.
  • Page 11 The Card ID is a unique identifier. It is equal to the enclosure slot number, or it may be an assigned value. As the slot number, the value can range from 1 to 4 up to 1 to 20 depending on the enclosure.
  • Page 12 Example: If Input 1 is connected to all outputs, but only 1 through 4 are on, the feedback after sending the command [C4S], for slot 4, would be similar to the following: CONFIGURATION: Matrix:16x8, In-Offset=0, Out-Offset=0 CONNECTION OUTPUT VOLUME In01-Out01 ON 32/32 In01-Out02 ON 32/32...

    The matrix I/O connections are also read left to right representing outputs 1-8 and the input to which each is connected. The first two digits show the input number to which Output 1 is connected. The third and forth digits are for Output 2 and so on.
  • Page 14 PATH OPERATION The path for outputs on the same or multiple cards may be preloaded. This will set the path for the output, but it is not active until the switch command, [SW], is executed. Commands ending in ‘P’ are not executed immediately. Command Format: [ONmCnUiP] = Output No.
  • Page 15 If ‘F’ is included, use the [OFFmCnPF] command or the [OFFmCnFP] command. FEEDBACK OPERATION After processing a command, an “OK” or “[ERR001]” will be returned as feedback if ‘F’ is included at the end of a command string. Command Format: [OFF…..F] Example: [OFF1C2F]: if path is not set [OFF1C2PF]: if path is set...
  • Page 16 Command Format: [ImO CnUi] = Input (m = # from 1 to 8) Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots) Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) Example: Connect Input 1 MT110-102 in slot 5.
  • Page 17 Some cards require more than one slot in the MultiTasker™ system. As an example, some matrix switcher cards require 4 slots. If there are five of these cards installed, they would be numbered C4, C8, C12, C16 and C20. Changing the Card ID allows the user to define the cards as C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5.
