INSTALLING YOUR MT108-102/(103)

6

Step 1. Slide the MT108-102/(103)into an available slot in the Multi-Tasker™ Basic Enclosure in order to connect to the bus. Make sure that the MT108-102/(103)Stereo Audio DA Card fits into place. Secure the card to the Multi-Tasker™ by tightening the retainer screws located on

the top and bottom of the MT108-102/(103)Stereo Audio DA Card.

Step 2. The LED on the card panel will turn red indicating that the card is in full operation. A green LED indicates that an input signal is present. An LED that is blinking red indicates that the card is experiencing a problem. If the LED is blinking, see the Troubleshooting Guide in section 8.

Step 3. Connect an audio cable from the audio source to the input connector of the MT108-102/(103). Connect any or all of the four available outputs of the MT108-102/(103)to audio equipment.

Step 4. Starting from the left, identify the slot number where the MT108-102/(103)card is plugged into the Enclosure and note that it is for RS-232 control.

7.1 RS-232 CONTROL

The outputs of the MT108-102are always enabled; therefore, no RS-232 control is necessary.

When used in the Multi-Tasker™ Basic Enclosure, the MT108-103has many advanced remote control capabilities, which are accessible through standard RS-232 communication. The actual control may be performed using a computer control system or any other device capable of sending RS-232 commands.

7.1.1 RS-232 INTERFACE

The RS-232 commands for the MT108-103are in a simple ASCII character format.

1.Square brackets “[ ]” are part of the command.

2.Use uppercase letters for all commands.

After processing a command, an OK or ER string will be returned as feedback if "F" is included at the end of a command string or if the unit ID is zero.

7.2 DESCRIPTION OF COMMANDS

Each command consists of three parts: function, card ID, and unit ID. [Function, Card ID, Unit ID].

Example:

[VERC3U2]

VER = Function

C3 = Card ID

U2 = Unit ID

For function, see a detailed explanation under each command description.

The Card ID is an assigned value from 1 to 19, based on which slot the card is put in. The Card ID 0 (C0) is used for the controller (see user’s guide for the MT100-100). Changing the position of a card will significantly affect the commands recorded on software definitions or a third party control system.

Unit ID has a value from 0 to 9. Unit ID 0 should be used for single unit operation. If the Unit ID is set to 0, then each command can be used without Ui (use command [SETU0]; see user’s guide for the MT100-100).

Example:

 

[VERC3]:

for unit ID zero

[VERC3Ui]:

for unit ID other than zero

[VERC3]:

equivalent to [VERC3U0]

1.[VER]

This command displays the software version and card type of the MT108-103card.

Command Format: [VERCnUi]

Cn = card ID number (n = # from 1 to 19)
