N
This port is independent of the rear panel Remote port and is not affected by
changes to the rear panel port’s protocol. This front panel port’s protocol can be
changed via SIS command control only. See the
SIS commands, later in this chapter, to configure both ports under SIS control.
Host-to-Switcher Instructions
The switcher accepts SIS (Simple Instruction Set) commands through either serial
port. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do
not require any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence.
Each switcher response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line
feed (CR/LF =
]
), which signals the end of the response character string. A string
is one or more characters.
Switcher-Initiated Messages
When a local event such as a front panel operation occurs, the switcher responds
by sending a message to the host. The switcher-initiated messages are listed below
(underlined).
