VS-1616D - Protocol 3000
All the examples provided in this section are based on using the
K-Config software.
You can enter commands directly using terminal communication software (e.g.,
Hercules) by connecting a PC to the serial or Ethernet port on the
VS-1616D
. To
enter
CR
press the Enter key (
LF
is also sent but is ignored by the command
parser).
Commands sent from various non-Kramer controllers (e.g., Crestron) may require
special coding for some characters (such as,
/X##
). For more information, refer to
your controller’s documentation.

Understanding Protocol 3000 Commands
Protocol 3000 commands are structured according to the following:
•
Command
– A sequence of ASCII letters (
A-Z
,
a-z
and
-
). A command and
its parameters must be separated by at least one space.
•
Parameters
– A sequence of alphanumeric ASCII characters (
0-9
,
A-Z
,
a-z
and some special characters for specific commands). Parameters are
separated by commas.
•
Message string
– Every command entered as part of a message string
begins with a message starting character and ends with a message closing
character.
A string can contain more than one command. Commands are
separated by a pipe (
|
) character. The maximum string length is 64
characters.
