The Multi-Product Serial Driver (MPSD) is a protocol for controlling more than one RGB Spectrum product through a single console. The maximum number of MPSD supported products in a single chain is ten. An extra non-MPSD supported device can be connected to the last MPSD device in the chain, making the total controllable devices equal to eleven.

The Auxiliary serial communications port is used to implement daisy-chaining of multiple systems. The Auxiliary port of an upstream device is connected to the primary port of a downstream device (see Figure 13). When a device is not selected, it passes all commands to its downstream port, and passes all responses from its Auxiliary port back to the console.

All MPSD commands are preceded with “:” and are buffered by each device that receives them. The devices must be placed in MPSD mode with the :assign command before any other MPSD commands can be issued.

If the console receives no response from the devices, or a wrong command is issued, entering :assign usually brings the system back into communication.

:assign - identifies all connected devices and enters into MPSD mode

:assign

This command identifies all connected devices and places them in MPSD mode. Each device has a unique ID number from 0 to 9. Device 0 is automatically selected to communicate with the terminal console. The ID number or device name is shown with the prompt sign so users can recognize
