Connect the computer to the second unit only
and send [SID+20] to set the ID of all the cards
in the enclosure to their slot number plus 20.
Reconnect both units to the computer.
The cards in the first unit will be referenced as
card IDs 1-20 and the cards in the second unit
will be referenced by card IDs 21-40.
24. [RSN]
This command reads the slot number of the
card with a specified ID number, and returns the
value to the system to be displayed in the
terminal window. If more than one card has the
same ID, each slot number will be displayed.
Command Format: [RSNCi]
Ci = Card ID (i = # from 1 to 99)
Example:
The card in slot 4 uses four slots. Its ID was set
to C1 since it is the first card in the system,
reading from left to right. Send the command
[RSNC1] to find the slot number of C1. The
system will respond with the following:
[4]
GROUP COMMANDS
The next few commands are group commands.
The use of groups allows several boards, with the
same functions, to be controlled simultaneously
with a single command. These commands apply to
all cards, not only the MT110-102.
25. [WR]
This command groups multiple cards in the
enclosure allowing all the group members to be
controlled simultaneously with the same
command. Each MultiTasker™ unit may define
a maximum of eight groups.
In MultiTasker™ systems with audio and video
cards, boards are typically grouped as follows:
Group 1 = Video Cards
Group 2 = Audio Cards
Group 3 = Video and Audio Cards
Command Format: [WRCn

Cn

…GkUi]
Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots)
Gk = Group number (k = # from 1-8)
Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0-9)
Example:
Group cards 2, 4, and 6 as group 5 of Unit ID 1
by sending the command [WRC2C4C6G5U1].
After executing this command, cards 2, 4 and 6
will be grouped together as group 5 of Unit ID 1.
The system will return the following feedback:
[G5=C2C4C6]
Now, when a command is sent to G5, each
board in G5 will execute the same command.
26. [RMC]
This command may be used to remove one or
more group members from a group. Reset the
system after using this command for all changes
to take effect.
Command Format: [RMCn

…GkUi]
Cn = Card ID (n= # from 1 to max slots)
Gk = Group ID (k = # from 1-8)

Example:
Group 5 consists of the cards located in slots
numbered 2, 4, and 6. Remove just cards 4 and
6 from the group by sending the command
[RMC4C6G1]. The system will return the
following feedback:
[G5=C2]
27. [RMG]
This command may be used to delete an entire
group, or all groups.
REMOVE A GROUP
Remove all the members from the group,
effectively deleting the group.
Command Format: [RMGkUi]
Gk = Group ID (k = # from 1-8)
Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0-9)
