RS-232 Configuration and Telnet Commands
The Blustream matrix can be controlled via serial RS-232 and TCP/IP. The RS-232 port is used for configuration and
control of the product.
The default RS-232 communication settings are:
Baud rate:
57600
Data bit:
8
Stop bit:
1
Parity bit:
none
The following pages list all available serial commands.
Commonly used Serial Commands
There are several commands that are commonly used for control and testing:
STATUS
Status will give feedback on matrix such as zones on, type of connection etc...
PON
Power
on
POFF
Power
off
OUTxxON
(xx is the zone number you wish to turn on)
Example:-
OUT01ON (This would turn output one back on)
OUTxxFRyy
(xx is the zone out, yy is the input)
Example:-
OUT01FR04 (This would switch output 1 to source input 4)
Common Mistakes
• Carriage return – Some programs do not require the carriage return where as other will not work unless sent
directly after the string. In the case of some Terminal software the token <CR> is used to execute a carriage return.
Depending on the program you are using this token maybe different. Some other examples that other control systems
deploy include \r or 0D (in hex)
• Spaces – Blustream commands do not require space between commands unless specified. There may be some
programs that require spacing in order to work.
- How the string should look is as follows OUT01ON
- How the string may look if spaces are required: OUT{Space}01{Space}ON
• Baud rate or other serial protocol settings not correct
