Example
: A string to turn up a cross point on a matrix mixer might look like this:
INC 2 MMLVLXP 4 3 2 1 <LF> The individual components for this string are:
In this example Index1 and Index2 are both used; together they specify which cross point is to be changed.
RS-232 Control
The RS-232 port on the back of an E Desk unit is set to a default baud rate of 38400, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit,
and no flow control. (38400:8:None:1). If multiple E Desk units are connected together in a system then only one RS-
232 port needs to be connected to a third-party control system; communication data is shared via Ethernet through a
switch.
When controlling multiple E Desk units that are not part of the same DAP file, each E Desk unit will need to be
addressed via its own RS-232 port from a control system or PC. E Desk units cannot be linked together via RS-232.
(The RS-232 baud rate can be set to 9600, 19200, or 38400 – default is 38400)
A straight through PC Serial Cable is used to communicate from an RS-232 port on a third-party controller (or PC*) to
the RS-232 port located on the back of an E Desk unit.
(* A PC can be used with a terminal emulator program, such as HyperTerminal etc, to send/receive ETP Strings… E
Desk software must be connected via Ethernet in order to communicate.)
Telnet Control
E Desk can be controlled using Telnet via TCP/IP. The same command strings that are used via RS-232 are used for
Telnet as well.
When controlling multiple E Desk units that are not a part of the same DAP file, each Audia unit will need to be
addressed via its own Telnet session from a control system or PC.
