ICC-STA/ICA-FT6
iC-Net STA Commands
Command Code Description
Operating
Parameters TM “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3,’TM’,<setting>” (7 bytes)
Sets up key functions in the unit
bit 7 – 3 = 0
bit 2 – Channel up/down operation, 0=Tune Ring, 1=Send Key response
bit 1 – Numeric channel labels, 0=num labels off, 1=num labels on)
bit 0 – Alpha channel labels, 0=alpha labels off, 1=alpha labels on
Tip: In most ICC-STA entertainment systems, Channel up/down should be set to
0, Numeric channel labels to 0, and Alpha labels to 1. When Alpha labels are
active, the ICC-STA will automatically send the label text string to the ICA-
FT6 display whenever a channel is changed. No control system programming
needed. Is that cool or what?
Volume VL “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3,’VL’,<vol level>” (7 bytes)
Sets volume level
0 = Mute
1 – 63 = Minimum level (1) to maximum volume (63)
Set Volume VW “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,2,’VW’ ” (6 bytes)
Saves current volume level in memory, default when unit powers up
To power-up to last level, set volume to zero (VL) and save.
Marquee Chan T2 “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3,’T2’<channel> ” (7 bytes) – Sets default power-up channel
Sets default channel selected when unit powers up
T Channel Up TU “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,2,’TU’ ” (6 bytes) – Tunes to next channel up in Tune Ring
T Channel Dwn TD “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,2,’TD’ ” (6 bytes) – Tunes to next channel down in Tune Ring
Force T Channel TC “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3,’TC’, <channel>” (7 bytes) – Tunes to a specific channel
126 = Select STA external A/V input
Select T Channel TT “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,2,’TT’ <channel>” (7 bytes) –
Tunes channel if included in Tune Ring
Closures Y- “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3, ‘Y’ <I/0 Port>’ ” (7 bytes)
Turns the two internal closures on and off. Closure 1 is typically used to control the
optional buzzer, Closure 2 typically used to control an external camera power relay.
“$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3, ‘Y10’” turns Closure 1 off
“$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3, ‘Y11’” turns Closure 1 on
“$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3, ‘Y20’” turns Closure 2 off
“$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3, ‘Y21’” turns Closure 2 on
Channel Labels TN “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,<ncb>,‘TN’,<channel>,<label>” (variable bytes)
Stores an ASCII string as the channel label. The text will display on the ICA-FT6 if
the feature has been activated by the TM command.
Ex1: “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3,‘TN’, ‘7’, ‘PBS’ ” STA sends PBS display text to ICC-FT6
when 7 is selected
Ex2: “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3,‘TN’, ‘7’ ” Clears alpha label for channel 7
Ex3: “$A5,<dh>,<dl>,3,‘TN’,0,0” Clears all alpha labels
