RS-232

Atlona Technologies’ switcher can be controlled via the RS-232 serial control port to allow for interfac¬ing to a PC, The serial communication parameters are 9600 baud, 8 bit, No Parity and 1 stop bit - this is often referred to as 9600 8N1. When the unit recognizes a complete command it will perform the requested action - there is no delim¬iter character required. The unit does not send out a message when a value is changed from the front panel or by IR control. If the unit needs to be controlled via the front panel in addition to the RS232 con¬trol, you should regularly poll the unit status to ensure the control system accurately reflects the current settings, or similar third party control system.

COMMANDS

To Switch Inputs to Outputs

SBIOXOOY - Where X is Output Number (1-1) and Y is Number (1-2) Unit will respond with SBUDOXOY - Where X is Output Number (1-1)and Y is Input Number (1-2)

Example: Send Input 2 to Output 1 SBI02O01 -Send

SBUD02O1 -Rcvd

RS-232 PROTOCOL COMMANDS

STANDBY MODE

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 status and change messages in response to 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.
