6.13 Select PS Chassis Command
The remote control device selects a PS chassis by issuing an activation command containing the
chassis' identification number. Chassis' identification numbers are determined by the settings on
the DIP switch located on the chassis CM. Refer to Section 6 for a description of the DIP switch
settings.
There are four different select commands acceptable by the CM. The first three select
commands identify the type of remote control device connected to the data communications
channel. The fourth command selects multiple chassis simultaneously. The four different select
commands are defined and used as follows:
TLKxx Command (talk) issued by a terminal user to select PS chassis xx
SPKxx Command (talk) issued by the PatchSwitch Remote Control Unit to select PS chassis
“xx”.
CRTxx Command (talk) issued by the SwitchMate Intelligent Controller to select PS chassis
“xx”.
SC, xx, xx, xx xxCommand (Super Chassis) issued by a terminal user to select multiple PS
chassis simultaneously. Up to sixteen chassis may be selected (e.g., 00, 01,
02, 05, 07 or “all” for sixteen).
If the chassis identification (xx) number in the “TLK”, “CRT” or “SPK” command on a CM
matches the DIP switch settings, the identified chassis is selected. If the chassis identification
number in the command does not match the DIP switch settings on a CM, the chassis is de-
selected. When setting the CM DIP switches, the user must ensure that no two CMs have the
same identifier (address). Refer to the Installation Section, Section 6, for the DIP switch
selection procedure.
When the Super Chassis (SC) command is used to select multiple chassis, each selected chassis
identification (xx) number (parameter) is entered in a string using commas for parameter
separators. All other chassis in the system are de-selected.
6.14 GO Command
The GO command requests the selected PS Chassis to execute the command string that
immediately preceded the GO command. Normally, the GO command is issued by the user after
the remote control device receives a RDYxx response. Once the pending command is executed,
subsequent GO commands received by the CM software are disregarded. The GO command
string is terminated with the CR/LF characters.
Note:
The identification "xx" must be characters in the range 00- l5.
