Processor-Initiated Messages
When a local event such as a front panel operation occurs, the processor responds by
sending a message to the host. The processor-initiated messages are listed below.
With an RS-232/422 connection (upon power up):
(c) Copyright 2009, Extron Electronics Annotator, Vx.xx, 60-968-14]
With an Internet connection:

Ddd, DD MMM YYYY HH:MM:SS (day, date time. for example. Tue, 14 Apr 2009
14:43:17)
The processor initiates the copyright message when powered on or when connection via
Internet protocol (IP) is established. Vx.xx is the firmware version number.
]Password:
The processor initiates the password message immediately after the copyright message
when the controlling system is connected using TCP/IP or Telnet and the processor is
password protected. The processor requires an administrator or user level password before
performing the commands entered.
NOTE: Password prompt is re-displayed if an incorrect password is entered.
]Login Administrator] and ]Login User]
The processor initiates the login message when a correct administrator or user password
has been entered. If the user and administrator passwords are the same, the processor
defaults to administrator privileges.
Reconfig]
The processor sends the Reconfig message whenever a new resolution is applied.
NOTE: Response is seen via RS-232 connection only.
Exen]
The processor initiates the Exe message when executive mode is toggled on or off from
the front panel. “n” is the executive mode status: 1 = on, 0 = off.
Processor Error Responses
When the Annotator receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs
the command and sends a response to the host device. If the processor is unable to
perform the command because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, the
processor returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:
E01 — Invalid input channel number (out of range)
E10 — Invalid command
E11 — Invalid preset number
E12 — Invalid output number/port number
E13 — Invalid parameter (out of range)
E14 — Command not available for this conguration
E17 — Invalid command for this signal type
E22 — Busy
E24 — Privilege violation
E25 — Device not present
E26 — Maximum number of connections exceeded
E27 — Invalid event number
E28 — Bad lename/le not found
