Remote
Communication and
Control
This section discusses SIS programming and control of the MPS 601 including:
•Connection Options
•
•Command and Response Table
Connection Options
The MPS 601 can be remotely connected to a host computer or other device (such as a control system) attached to the rear panel RS‑232 port or the front panel USB Config port.
The switcher can be set up and controlled using Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands. SIS commands are executed using the Extron DataViewer program, found at www.extron.com.
Remote Control Port (RS-232)
The RS‑232 port connector (see figure 2, H on page 4) connects to a host or external controlling device, such as a computer or control system, which can generate the proper command codes and recognize switcher responses.
