Using the Executive HD Base Station with a Control System
The Executive HD Base Station is capable of being monitored and controlled via any serial capable
control system. The only logic communication that takes place between multiple Base Stations, via
the BUS cable, is ―Master Mute‖ status. Therefore, each Base Station requires is own serial
connection to the control system in order to communicate. The ―Control System‖ option must be
selected, under the ―External Control Processor‖ drop down menu in the Executive HD Control Panel
program, in order for this configuration to function properly. You must also set the RS-232 or Network
settings of the Base Station to match the communication settings of the control system.
When using a control system, the microphone mutes can be configured to ―int. mute‖, which mutes
the microphone audio inside of the base station, or ―ext. mute‖, which allows the control system to
choose another location for the mute to take place.
Note: Both a control system and DSP cannot be connected to a Base Station at the same time.
When using a control system, the DSP control must be done by the control system and not the Base
Station.
Serial Command & Return Strings:
The Serial Strings of a Executive HD Base Station begin with the Argument and terminates with a
Carriage Return. The Command String structure is as follows:
<Argument> <Command> ch <Channel #> <Value> <CR>
All Command Strings sent to the Base Station will provide a Return String confirming the change has
taken place. Return Strings will begin with ―val‖ and terminate with a Carriage Return. You will receive
a Return String for every action that has taken place as a result of the Command String sent to the
Base Station. The Return String structure is as follows:
val <Command> ch <Channel #> <Value> <CR>
