Command Structure
Details about each of the acceptable commands that can be interpreted by the
2-Series Dual Bus Control System can be found in “Appendix C: Console Command
Listing” on page 91. Commands are listed alphabetically. Each listing includes a
description of the command, a list of help menus that contain the command, the
proper syntax for entering the command, definitions of parameters that may be
included in the syntax, a list of possible sources
1
for the command, the minimum
CUZ with which the command is recognized by the processor, and the specific
processor group
2
that supports the command. For a description of each detail listed
for a given command, refer to the SAMPLE COMMAND table shown below.
1. Possible sources refers to the methods by which console commands are delivered to the control
system, as explained on page 16.
2. Processor groups are defined in more detail with “Processor Groups” on page 21.
SAMPLE COMMAND
Description: Provides a textual description of the command.
Help Menu(s): Provides the category, which is used with the console HELP command.
Syntax: Provides the text characters required to execute the command.
Parameters: Provides a description of each parameter used in the syntax.
Possible Source: Indicates the method of console connection used for the sample command. Connection methods include:
RS-232 - a Crestron Toolbox connection to the computer port of the 2-Series processor.
CTP - an Ethernet connection to port 41795 at the IP address of the 2-Series processor.
Telnet - an Ethernet connection to port 23 at the IP address of the 2-Series processor.
User Program - a command entered using the SIMPL Windows Console symbol.
Secure CTP - SSL connection to port 41797 at the IP address of the 2-Series processor.
Minimum CUZ: Indicates the first version of firmware that supported the command. CUZ is the extension name for the
zipped file that holds the updated operating system for the 2-Series processor. As new features or
improvements are developed, the capabilities of the operating system are enhanced and the changes
are reflected in a later CUZ version number.
Processor Group: Since the 2-Series line has such a diverse feature set, some processors may not support all the
commands. This detail indicates the group to which the command belongs. Refer to the table in
”Processor Groups" on page 21 of this guide for the specific processors that belong to a processor
group.
