Remote Operation Communication Protocol The MSX1616 contains three serial ports for communication. You can configure all three ports to communicate serially via RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 standards by setting the DIP switches located at the rear of the unit to the appropriate setting.
The MSX1616 and MSX3216 offer command buffering. This allows you to send multiple commands to the unit with out a delay between each command. When you send a command, the unit responds R0. This indicates a valid command executed, followed by the original command and any other requested information.
All serial commands apply to the MSX1616 and MSX3216. Both switchers follow the same command structure with the exception of command strings that designate ii for input assignment. For the MSX1616, ii would be 01 – 16 while the MSX3216 ii would be 01 - 32. Addressing Commands If you use the switcher in RS-232 mode (no other devices connected in parallel), there is no need to assign an address for this unit.
