4. Control Commands (RS-232 and IP)

The Genesis™ Matrix can be controlled via an external control system by using either
the standard RS-232 or the optional IP port. Any program capable of standard serial
communication in ASCII format is capable of working with the matrix. Most PCs with
Windows™ OS have HyperTerminal™ or equivalent. There are also many free
Terminal Emulator software programs available for download on the internet.
Note on RS-232 port availability on PC
Most PCs and notebooks do not come equipped with a
serial RS-232 port. Therefore, for serial control from a PC
you may need a USB to RS-232 converter. These are
available from Hall Research (Model USB-RS232-1)
Use a DB9 Male-to-Female cable per Table 1 to connect the unit to the PC's serial
port.
Use 115,200 Baud, 8 bits, No Parity, 1 Stop bit, No flow control.
Upon power up, the Matrix will output a screen similar to the figure below through its
serial port if the unit was previously on.
If the unit was previously off, it would not output anything through its RS232 port.

4.1 Routing Functions

Video routing commands specified are from the point of view of the output. The
wildcard character (*) is acceptable for output (but not input). In addition, these
commands can be used to monitor or query the status of system ties. Omitting the
input channel will result in a response of the current routing for that output.
