Symbol Definitions
]
= CR/LF (carriage return/line feed) (hex 0D 0A)
}
= Carriage return (no line feed, hex 0D)
| = Pipe (can be used interchangeably with the } character)
• = Space character
E
= Escape key (hex 1B)
W = Can be used interchangeably with the E character
X!
= Input number (for tie) 000 – (maximum number of inputs for your configuration) (000 = untied)
X@
= Output number 001 – (maximum number of outputs for your configuration)
X#
= Mute 0 = not muted 1 = muted
X$
= SFP number or reclockable output number 000 – 320 (FOX Matrix 320x) or 144 (FOX Matrix 14400) (000 = global [SFP only])
X%
= Output reclocking rate 00 = auto (default) 01 = bypass
X^
= Laser control 0 = disable 1 = enable 2 = automatic
X&
= Global preset number 00 – 64 (00 = current configuration for view only)
X*
= Room number (for room presets) 10 max. (each can have up to 10 presets (X1)) assigned)
NOTE: A room is a subset of operator selected outputs that relate to each other. The FOX matrix switcher supports up to 10 rooms, each of
which can consist of from 1 to 16 outputs.
X(
= Name 12 characters maximum for input names, output names, global preset names, and
room preset names
Upper- and lower-case alphanumeric characters and _ / and spaces are valid.
NOTE: The following characters are invalid or not recommended in the name: <space> ~ , @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.
X1)
= Room preset # 10 maximum
NOTE: A room preset is a stored configuration with all of the outputs assigned to a single room. When a room preset is retrieved from
memory, it becomes the current configuration.
X1!
= Connection status 0 = no input connected 1 = input connected
X1@
= Input number 001 – 320 (FOX Matrix 320x) or 144 (FOX Matrix 14400)
X1#
= Number (quantity) of inputs In sets of 16 (016, 032, 048, 064, and so on)
X1$
= Number (quantity) of outputs In sets of 16 (016, 032, 048, 064, and so on)
X1%
= Board installed 0 = No board installed 4 = Non-pathological multimode board
1 = Non-reclocking multmode board* 5 = Non-pathological singlemode board
2 = Non-reclocking singlemode board* 6 = Pathological singlemode board
3 = 3G, SDI, HD-SDI board x = Unknown board or mix of transceivers
X1^
= I/O board slot number 01 – 09 or 20
X1&
= Transceiver module installed 0 = No module installed 3 = 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI module
1 = Non-pathological multimode module 4 = Pathological singlemode module
2 = Non-pathological singlemode module
X1*
= Transceiver module number 001 – 320 (or maximum number of transceiver modules for your configuration)
X1(
= Reclocking status 0 = Signal reclocked 1 = Signal not reclocked
X2)
= Vendor/manufacturer name
X2!
= Transmit output power in milliwatts
X2@
= Receive optical power in milliwatts
X2#
= SFP temperature Degrees Celsius
X2$
= Firmware version number to second decimal place (x.xx)
X2%
= Verbose firmware version-description-upload date and time. See the Query firmware version (verbose) command on page 31.
X2^
= Voltage Positive or negative voltage and magnitude
X2&
= Temperature Degrees Fahrenheit
X2*
= Fan speed (in RPM)
X2(
= Power supply status 1 = Ok 0 = Out of tolerance or failed
* Legacy board, no longer manufactured, identified for completeness only
