Remote
Configuration and
Control
This section describes the methods by which the Quantum Ultra can be configured and
controlled remotely: the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands and the Videowall
Configuration Software (VCS). It describes the available SIS commands and how to enter
them, as well as providing instructions for obtaining and accessing VCS. Topics include:

Command and Response Table for SIS Commands
• Videowall Configuration Software (VCS) Program
SIS Commands
You can use SIS commands to configure and control the Quantum Ultra via a host
computer or other device (such as a control system) attached to the rear panel Remote
RS-232 connector, LAN A or B port, or USB Config connector. Enter commands
using a host communication application such as the Extron DataViewer, available at
www.extron.com (see the
DataViewer Help
file to use this program). The RS-232 port
uses a protocol of 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command sequence. When the Quantum Ultra determines that
a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device.
All responses from the Quantum Ultra to the host end with a carriage return and a line
feed (CR/LF =
] ), indicating the end of the response character string (one or more
characters).
