occurred. “pp” is the plane address, “nn” is the output number, and “xx” is the volume level.

The SMX initiates the Vmt message when a video output mute is toggled on or off from the 
front panel. “pp” is the plane address, “nn” is the output number, and “x” is the mute status: 
1 = on, 0 = off.
ppAmtnn*x] 
The SMX initiates the Amt message when an audio output mute is toggled on or off from the 
front panel. “pp” is the plane address, “nn” is the output number, and “x” is the mute status: 
1 = on, 0 = off.

Switcher Error Responses
When the SMX receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the 
command and sends a response to the host device. If the command is invalid or contains 
invalid parameters, the SMX 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 configuration 
  E17 — Timeout (only caused by direct write of global presets) 
  E22 — Busy 
  E24 — Privilege violation (Ethernet and Extron software only) 
  E25 — Device not present 
  E26 — Maximum number of connections exceeded 
  E27 — Invalid event number 
  E28 — Bad filename/File not found
