Host-to-Matrix-Switcher Instructions
The matrix switcher accepts SIS (Simple Instruction Set) commands through the rear panel
Remote RS-232/RS-422 port, the front panel Configuration port, and the rear panel Ethernet
(LAN) 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 matrix
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.
Matrix-Switcher-Initiated Messages
When a local event such as a front panel operation occurs, the matrix switcher responds
by sending a message to the host. The matrix switcher-initiated messages are listed below
(underlined).
The matrix switcher does not expect a response from the host, but, for example, the host
program might request a new status.

when the controlling system is connected using TCP/IP or Telnet and the matrix switcher is
password protected. This message means that the matrix switcher requires an administrator

switcher repeats the password message response for every entry other than a valid password
until a valid password is entered.
