MSX1616 OPERATION MANUAL - v1.0 5/8/02 2002 - INLINE, INC.
All serial commands apply to the MSX1616 and MSX3216. Both switchers follow the same
command structure with the exception of command strings that designate ii for input assignment.
For the MSX1616, ii would be 01 – 16 while the MSX3216 ii would be 01 - 32.
Addressing Commands
If you use the switcher in RS-232 mode (no other devices connected in parallel), there is no need
to assign an address for this unit. If you are using multiple INLINE products connected in
parallel to a single serial port using RS-422 or RS-485 communications, you must assign
addresses for each unit.
The factory default for the unit is NO ADDRESS. The address for the unit must be between 01
and 98. Address 00 is a broadcast address, and all units on the buss will perform the action
commanded; however, the unit will not issue any responses.
To open communications to an addressed device you must send a [CCxx] command. All other
devices on the buss will ignore commands until they are addressed
COMMAND DESCRIPTION
[ADDRxx]
Assigns an address to the unit, 01 to 98. Address 99 is reserved for future
products.
• Where
o xx = 01 - 98
[ADDR@]
Removes an address from the unit. This is the factory default, and is the
typical way to use the switcher when in the RS-232 mode
[ADDR?]
Query unit for a pre-assigned address.
[CCxx]
Connects controller to the addressed unit. 00 is a broadcast address thus
all connected devices will perform commands. Use this command in
conjunction with the [ADDRxx] command string.
• Where
o xx = 01 - 98
Note: This command string is case sensitive.
