Serial Communication

Y
The PVS 204SA switcher can be remotely set up and controlled via a host
computer or other device (such as a control system) attached to the rear panel
RS-232/MLC/IR port. Alternatively, the switcher can be controlled by an optional
MediaLink Controller (MLC) (connected to the same port) or by an RS-232 device
acting through the MLC. The control device (host) can use either Extron’s Simple
Instruction Set (SIS
™
) commands or the Global Configurator
(GC2) program for Windows. For details on use and setup
of a system that includes a MediaLink Controller, refer
to the MediaLink Controller user’s manual.
Switcher protocol:
• 9600 baud • 1 stop bit • no parity • no flow control
RS-232/MLC/IR connector pin assignments:
N Configuration can also be completed by
connecting a 2.5 mm stereo mini cable
(part #
70-335-01 ) to the 2.5 mm jack (port)
on the front panel. This port has the same
protocol as the RS-232 connector on the rear panel.

RS-232 Programmer’s Guide
Host-to-PVS communications
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command sequence. When the PVS switcher determines
that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host
device. All responses from the switcher to the host end 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.
PVS-initiated messages
When a local event such as a front panel selection or adjustment takes place, the
PVS responds by sending a message to the host. No response is required from the
host. The PVS-initiated messages are listed here (underlined).
