RS-232 SERIAL COMMANDS

Note: Turning the unit System Power Off over RS232 will distinguish the LED display leaving only the Power Switch LED on. The Video and Audio outputs will also mute. While the unit is turned off by RS232 it will continue to accept and act upon switching commands. For example, if the unit is in the off mode

(via RS232) and you send a command to switch an input to an output, that route will complete and the video and audio will now appear on that channel only. The front panel LED for that particular output will also show the input selected (for that single output channel only). The remaining LED’s will remain off and video and audio outputs muted. The unit will still return to its status and change messages in response to the commands sent while in Power Off state. A hard reset command (SBALLRST) will return the unit to normal operation and also unlock the front panel.

1. POWER OFF MODE

SBSYSMOF - Place system into Standby (Soft Power Off)

SBSYSMON - Bring unit out of Standby (Soft Power On)

Unit will respond with

SBALOFAK - Unit is in Standby

SBALONAK - Unit is no longer in Standby

Example : Put Unit in Standby (Soft Power)

SBSYSMOF - Send

SBALOFAK - Rcvd

2. FRONT PANEL LOCK

Note: Hard resetting the unit will unlock the Front Panel controls.

SBSYSMLK - When front panel is locked, changes can only be made by RS232 SBSYSMUK- Front Panel Unlock

Unit will respond with

SBSYSLOK - Front Panel has been Locked SBSYSULK - Front Panel has been Unlocked

Example : Lock Front Panel Buttons

SBSYSMLK - Send

SBSYSLOK - Rcvd

3. UNIT RESET

SBALLRST - Reset every output to Input 1

Unit will respond with

SBRSTACK - Unit has reset each Output to Input 1

Example : Reset all outputs to Input 1

SBALLRST - Send

SBRSTACK - Rcvd
