The GSS 100’s rear panel RS-232 connector (figure 4-1) can be
connected to the serial port of a host device, such as a computer
or control system. Communications with the GSS are via
Extron’s Simple Instruction Set ™ (SIS ™ ) or Extron’s Windows-
based control program.

Symbols (values), defined on the next pages, are used
throughout the discussions of the GSS-initiated messages that
begin below and the command/response table that begins on
page 4-8. The symbols represent variables in the GSS-initiated
messages and the command/response table fields.
