Communication Code Configuration 4-1.COMMAND LINE OPERATIONS ■ Control Programmer’s Guide (Code Structure and Examples) This section is designed for programmers who wish to create their own control programs using the command code. All Pure Link digital matrix routers provide a simple character stream control used by external control devices attached to a Pure Link device. Command codes are used primarily for control, during system installation and setup, and for diagnostic purposes.
PureLink GmbH Ex 1) Command (Connect Input 1 to Output 1) *255CI01O01! ¶ Ack value *255sC I01O01! Ex 2) Command (Check Input connection status on Output 3) *255?O03! ¶ Ack Value *255s? I03O03! General Rules for Command Codes The commands are coded in ASCII and HEXA. Please refer to Table 3.1 on pg. 18 for detailed descriptions of keys and functions.
PureLink GmbH Table 3.1 Command Codes Characters Table The table below shows command code characters (keys), which are used to generate control commands, their functions, and short function descriptions.
PureLink GmbH entries containing multiple numbers 0x49 I 0x69 i ?version Router ID check command; check Router ID check Firmware router’s current ID number version check 1 Firmware version check command; *255?version! ¶ Baud rate sting command; *255@001!¶ 0x40 @ Baud rate setting 19200 → *255@002!¶ → 38400 *255@003!¶ 57600 → *255@004!¶ → 115200 Network configuration setting command: - IP Setting *255NIP125.135.199.004! ¶ - Subnet Mask Setting *255NSM255.255.255.
PureLink GmbH Ack (Acknowledge) Value Response Table The following table shows ack value response characters along with their descriptions and meanings, which may appear instead of the initially entered character or number. If these characters appear, all or part of the command has not been executed. Table 3.2 Descriptions of Acknowledge (ACK) Signals Ack value Description Input 1 is not connected No information in each channel.
PureLink GmbH can be interpreted as follows: (*) Starting the command code (255) Router ID is 255 (C) Create connection on (I01) Input 01 to (O01) Output 01 (!) take the command. For a complete list of command characters and their functions, see examples below. To connect a switch: 1. Enter the Connect command below. Replace the “#”s with the input and output number(s).
PureLink GmbH 4-1.2 Disconnecting Switches The characters and numbers in a Disconnect command tell the system which input or output to disconnect. The “D” key initiates a Disconnect command for routing a switch. The characters and numbers that follow the “D” command tell the system that inputs and outputs to disconnect. The last character “!” is found at the end of the Command code, which tells the system to execute the command.
PureLink GmbH 4-1.3 Connection Status Check A connection status can be checked to confirm that the switch has been correctly executed or to confirm correct routing to multiple outputs. The characters and numbers in a status command tell the system which input or output to check. 1. Enter the Connection status check command below. Replace the “#”s with the input and output number(s).
PureLink GmbH 4-1.6 Baud Rate Setting User can set baud rate for RS-232 command control. 1. Enter the Baud rate setting command below. Replace the “#”s with the input and output number(s).
PureLink GmbH Function Key On/Off: User can enable or disable the function key located on physical router’s front panel. Example: Command Codes Action *255K000! ¶ Function key On/Off 4-2 LAN CODE CONFIGURATION 4-2.1 Using TELNET protocol with LAN(TCP/IP) The MX-800 router can be controlled from remote locations through the LAN port using WINDOWS XP DOS prompts, hyper-terminal, or TELNET program (the control code is fully compliant with RS-232C).
PureLink GmbH *255I000! *255sI Router ID 255* Router ID verification command code Send “ *255I000! ” Router will send response: “ *255sI Router ID 255” 4-2.2 Using HTTP protocol with LAN(TCP/IP - Control PC Search Searching data for channel configuration Character train should begin with “LCD.CGI” to “O01=I08” to Output 01 = Input 8. The sequence and size of the character train must be the same. To RESET the protocol, a new connection to the server (Switcher) must be established.
