The EF1210 Command Set is used to control an EF1210 using an RS-232 remote
control device, such as a touch panel or personal computer. The commands control
enabling and configuring the EF1210’s features.
The EF1210 Command Set also includes messages, which are sent back to the remote
control device. These messages can contain acknowledgment or status messages in
response to EF1210 commands.
This reference describes the syntax of all of the available commands and messages, as
well as the purpose and effects of each of these commands. In short, it provides all
the information necessary to integrate the EF1210 Command Set into a remote con-
trol device.

YNTAX
The EF1210 commands are short strings of text, which are case sensitive. The com-
mands contain a Device Type and Device ID for specifying an individual device in a
chain of ASPI Digital products on an ASPI Bus, so that commands can be targeted at
a specific unit. They also contain a command name, input channel number (in some
cases), and some data to be used by the command. Each command is terminated with
a carriage return (^M) character.
Device type
The Device Type indicates which ASPI Digital product the command is being sent to.
For the EF1210, the device type is always ‘C’.
Device ID
The Device ID is a two digit decimal number indicating the Device ID number of a
specific device. This is the same Device ID that is set by the rear panel DIP switches
on the EF1210. The Device ID must always have two digits, so if the ID is less than
ten, a leading zero is needed. For example, the Device ID for unit six is ‘06’.
Each EF1210 in a system should have a different Device ID, so they can each be
addressed individually. It’s ok for an EF1210 to have the same Device ID as a differ-
ent ASPI Digital product such as an EF200 Phone Add, because they will be differen-
tiated by the device type.
On the EF1210, the Device ID can be a 2 digit number from 00 to 31
