SWITCHERS

The MX2216RM Switcher is also designed to send feedback commands from the switcher to the control system when the buttons on the front panel of the switcher are pressed.

The Feedback codes are as follows:

This command is designed to allow the MX2216RM Switcher to program each of the inputs to respond to a selected range of input commands.

For example, if command [SET10104] is issued, then the following commands will select only Input

7.3MASTER-SLAVE CONFIGURATION

These feedback codes allow multiple MX2216RM Switchers to be connected in a Master-Slave configuration, if desired.

The following commands are added to the standard set of commands in order to facilitate control of multiple units using a single RS-232 control port. These commands are available on the switcher that has firmware revision number: 2.0. Use [VERN] commands to determine the firmware revision. These commands add additional flexibility to the switcher.

[InnOmm]

nn -

Input Number 00 to 99

mm- Output Number 01-99

This command connects any input to any output. The switching occurs as soon as the command is completed. The input 00 is used to disconnect a particular output from any input. For example, command [I00O01] will disconnect output 1 from any input.

[OUTmm]

This command sets the MX2216RM Switcher to respond to any specific output only. The default setting is output 1.

When the control ports of two units are connected as shown below, the slave unit duplicates the actions of the master unit. The same unit can still be controlled from its front panel or through another RS-232 control.
