where

is the command category number.
A complete list of all remote control commands, showing command
syntax and descriptions is available from MUSICAM USA for a
nominal shipping and handling charge, or is available on-line at
www.musicamusa.com
.
Configuring the rear panel remote control port is accomplished from
the front panel keypad using the sequence:
<Maint><Rmt Ctl>.
The options available are Port Baud (
CRB
), Protocol (
CPC
) and
Command Echo (
CRE
). Baud rates from 1,200 to 38,400 bps are
supported. For normal operation, Protocol should be set to NO and
Echo should be set to YES. It may be necessary to set Protocol to YES if
you are controlling the
RoadRunner
from within another program or
application.
Far-End Remote Control
With an attached terminal, you can do the following: (1) you can control
your
RoadRunner
, (2) you can control a far-end
RoadRunner
, and (3) you
can control a far-end
Prima
series codec.
Far-end remote control is only possible when both codecs are framed using
any MPEG Layer 2 configuration (including MPEGL2, CCSN and CCSO)
and when both ends are set to the MUX mode of ancillary data.
Any remote control command supported by the
RoadRunner
or the far-
end codec can be used. To execute any command on the far-end codec,
simply precede the command with the ‘>’ character. For example, typing:
CST
At the command prompt returns the status of your roadrunner, but
>CST
returns the status of the far-end codec.
