Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CS SW,IP,OP

*<CR>

Connect one User port To CPU port

 

 

 

 

 

CA SW,IP

*<CR>

Connect all User ports To CPU port

 

RO SW,OP

*<CR>IP<CR>

Read Connection For User Port

 

 

 

 

 

CC SW,MM

*<CR>MM<CR>

Save Matrix Connections Into Memory Bank

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RC SW,LL

 

*<CR>LL<CR>

 

Restore Matrix Connections From Memory Bank

 

 

 

 

 

 

CB 00,BR

None

 

Change Baud Rate For All Switches

 

 

 

 

 

RV SW,00

*<CR>string\0<CR>

Read NTI Version String

 

 

 

 

 

 

RU SW

 

*<CR>IP,OP<CR>

Read Unit Size

 

 

 

 

 

 

SS SW,00

*<CR>

 

Disable Autostatus feature (see below)

 

 

 

 

 

 

SS SW,01

*<CR>

 

Enable Autostatus feature (see below)

 

 

 

 

 

 

GO SW OP

*<CR>go SW OP IP<CR>

 

Report the User port that is connected to the CPU port

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GM SW,00

 

*<CR>go SW OP IP<CR>

 

List all switch User port connections; all User ports to all CPU ports

 

 

 

 

(all connections)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the first field is not a known command (as listed above) or SW field is different from the serial address programmed in the switch memory, the command will be ignored. If the SW field corresponds to the serial address, but the syntax is wrong after this field, the switch will answer with ?<CR>.

Syntax example:

CS 01,05,02<CR> (insert the space and commas as shown)

which means “At the switch with unit address 01, connect CPU port 05 to user port 02” The switch will answer with:

<CR>

The HEX code representation of example above is:
