INSTALLING YOUR MT110-101/103 6
Step 1. Slide the MT110-101/103 into an available
slot in the Multi-Tasker™ Basic Enclosure
in order to connect to the bus. Make sure
that the MT110-101/103 card fits into
place. Secure the card to the Multi-
Tasker™ by tightening the retainer
screws located on the top and bottom of
the MT110-101/103 card.
Step 2. The LED on the card panel will turn red
indicating that the card is in full operation.
An LED that is blinking red indicates that
the card is experiencing a problem. If the
LED is blinking, see Troubleshooting
Guide in section 8.
Step 3. Connect audio cables from the audio
source to the input connector of the
MT110-101/103. Connect the output
connectors of the MT110-101/103 to the
audio equipment through an audio cable.
Step 4. Starting from the left, identify the slot
number where the MT110-101/103 card is
plugged into the Enclosure and note that
it is for RS-232 control.
OPERATION 7
7.1 RS-232 CONTROL
When used in the Multi-Tasker™ Enclosure, the
MT110-101/103 has many advanced remote control
capabilities, which are accessible through standard
RS-232 communication. The actual controlling can
be accomplished through a computer control system
or any other device capable of sending RS-232
commands.
7.1.1 RS-232 INTERFACE
The RS-232 commands for the MT110-101/103 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.
7.2 DESCRIPTION OF COMMANDS
Each command consists of three parts: function,
card ID, and unit ID. [Function, Card ID, Unit ID]
Example:
[VERC3U2]
VER = Function
C3 = Card ID
U2 = Unit ID
For detailed information regarding function, see
each command description.
Card ID is an assigned value from 1 to 19, which
represents the number of slots. 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.
Unit ID has a value from 0 to 9. Unit ID 0 should be
used for single unit operation. If the Unit ID is set to
0, then each command can be used without Ui (use
command [SETU0]; see user’s guide for the
MT100-100).
Example:
[VERC3]: for unit ID zero
[VERC3Ui]: for unit ID other than zero
