Host-to-device and device-to-host communication

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the FOX T USW 103 determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the switcher or receiver 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.

Device-initiated messages

When a local event occurs, the device responds by sending a message to the host. The device-initiated message may depend on whether the device is multimode or singlemode. They are listed below.
