RS-232 and Telnet Commands
The Blustream CMX88AB can be controlled via serial and TCP/IP. The following pages list all available serial commands for the
CMX88AB Matrix. Details of RS-232 pin assignment can be found on page 05.
Commonly used Serial commands:
There are several commands that are commonly used for control and testing:-
STATUS
Status will give feedback on Matrix such as zones on, type of connection etc
PON
Power
on
POFF
Power
off
OUTxxON
(xx is the zone number you wish to turn on)
Example:-
OUT01ON (This would turn output one back on)
OUTxxFRyy
(xx is the zone out, yy is the input)
Example:-
OUT01FR04 (This would switch output 1 to source input 4)
Common Mistakes
• Carriage return – Some programs do not require the carriage return where as other will not work unless sent directly after the
string. In the case of some Terminal software the token <CR> is used to execute a carriage return. Depending on the program you are
using this token maybe different. Some other examples that other control systems deploy include \r or 0D (in hex)
• Spaces – Blustream commands do not require space between commands unless specified. There may be some programs that
require spacing in order to work.
- How the string should look is as follows OUT01ON
- How the string may look if spaces are required: OUT{Space}01{Space}ON
• Baud rate or other serial protocol settings not correct - please see Page 5 for Matrix settings
