Simple Instruction Set Control
The DTP T HWP D and DTP T UWP D family of extenders can be remotely controlled using SIS commands from a host device such as a computer or control system via its rear panel
Remote
The default serial port protocol of the port is as follows:
•9600 baud
•No flow control
• No parity | • 8 data bits |
•1 stop bit
Host-to-Extender Communications
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command character sequence. When a command is valid, the extender executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the extender to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.
Extender-Initiated Messages
When a local event occurs, such as a front panel operation, loss or restoration of an input signal, or an error condition, the extender responds by sending a message to the host. Examples of the

Inn All]
The extender also sends the Inn message whenever the selected input is changed. n is the input number. A 0 in the n field indicates no input is selected.
Error Responses
When the extender receives a valid SIS command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the extender is unable to execute the command because the command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, the extender returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:
E01 — Invalid input channel number (out of range)
E06 — Invalid channel change
E10 — Invalid command
E13 — Invalid parameter
Timeout
Pauses of 10 seconds or longer between command ASCII characters result in a timeout. The command operation is aborted with no other indication.
