Switching and Masking without the Web Interface
The Gefen 16x16 DVI Matrix uses HTML form attributes to communicate to the
box. It uses the ‘method’ attribute with the ‘get’ value to send a command. The
Matrix has a set of values that sends a valid command to perform switching and
masking. If a command is valid, an “OK” message will be displayed. If the com-
mand is invalid, a “FAIL” message will be displayed.
Switching
Below is the syntax for the SWITCH command. The table below lists the only
values that can be entered to perform a successful switch. All values are case-
sensitive.
Syntax
Single Output
http://<matrix IP address>/cgibin.shtml?a=s&o=<output
value>&i=<input value>*
* Brackets should be removed and replaced with values according to the Switch-
ing Table on page 37.
Multiple Outputs
http://<matrix IP address>/cgibin.shtml?a=s&o=<output
value>&o=<output value 2>&o=<output value 3>&o=<output value
n>i=<input value> **
** When working with multiple outputs, a maximum of 16 output ports can be
entered. To specify additional ports to switch, type:
&o=<output value>
Do not use the angled brackets when typing the command.
