INSTALLING YOUR MT110-104 6
Step 1. Slide the MT110-104 into an available slot
in the MultiTasker™ enclosure in order to
connect to the bus. Make sure that the
MT110-104 card fits into place. Secure
the card to the MultiTasker™ by
tightening the retainer screws located on
the top and bottom of the MT110-104
card.
Step 2. Connect audio cables from the audio
source to the input connectors of the
MT110-104. Connect the output
connectors of the MT110-104 to the audio
equipment through an audio cable.
Step 3. Starting from the left, identify the slot
number where the MT110-104 card is
plugged into the enclosure; take note of
that slot number for RS-232 control
purposes.
OPERATION 7
7.1. RS-232 CONTROL
When used in the MultiTasker™ Enclosure,
the MT110-104 has many advanced remote
control capabilities, which are accessible
through standard RS-232 communication. The
actual control can be accomplished through a
computer control system or any other device
capable of sending RS-232 commands.
7.2. RS-232 COMMANDS
The RS-232 commands for the MT110-104
are in a simple ASCII character format.
1. Square brackets “[ ]” are part of the
command.
2. Use uppercase letters for all commands.
After processing a command, an OK or ER will
be returned as feedback if "F" is included at
the end of a command string or if the unit ID is
zero
7.3. DESCRIPTION OF COMMANDS
Each command consists of three parts:
function, card ID, and an optional unit ID.
[Function, Card ID, Unit ID]
(Note: All of the following examples use the
19-slot MT100-100 enclosure for reference
only).
Example:
[VERC8U2]
VER = function
C8 = Card ID
U2 = Unit ID
For detailed information regarding RS-232
functions, see each command description or
enter the command [HELPCi], where “i” is the
card ID number.
Card ID is an assigned value from 4 to 19,
which represents the slot’s number. Card ID 0
(C0) is used for the controller (see user’s
guide for the MT100-100). Changing the
position of a card will significantly affect the
commands recorded on software definitions or
a third party control system.
Example:
[VERC8]: for unit ID zero; equivalent to
[VERC8U0]
[VERC8Ui]: for unit ID other than zero.
“Ui” = unit ID number from 1 to 9; used only if
more than 1 unit is connected.
7.3.1. [HELPCi]
This command displays all the RS-232
commands available for control.
Ci = card ID number (i = number from 4 to 19)
7.3.2. [Ci]
This command displays the input/output status
of the card.
Command Format: [Ci]
Ci = card ID number (i = number from 4 to 19)
