APPENDIX A: SERIAL COMMANDS

CONVERGE PRO SERIAL COMMAND OVERVIEW

This appendix provides summary descriptions of the Converge Pro serial command set. This command set is used

for Telnet, RS-232 serial port, and Telnet over USB.

Type and Device IDs

The Type ID and Device ID for current supported boxes on the expansion bus have the following definitions:

Type ID Binary Type ID Text Unit type Device ID Range

0xA A Converge 8i 0x0 – 0x7

0x1 1 Converge 880 0x0 – 0x7

0x2 2 Converge TH20 0x0 – 0xF

0x3 3 Converge 840T 0x0 – 0x7

Conventions

This definition uses the following typographic conventions used in this document:

Convention Description

<X> Parameters enclosed in < > indicate a mandatory parameter.

[X] Parameters enclosed in [ ] indicate an optional parameter.

1-8 Parameters separated by a ‘-‘ indicate a range between the values.

4,7,9 Parameters separated by a ‘,’ indicate a list of available values.

EREF Words in Uppercase bold indicate command text.

DEVICE Indicates the device type and device number on the Expansion Bus network. It is

composed of a device type character and a device number.

General Text Command Form Description

The structure of serial commands is as follows:

# <Type ID> <Device ID> <Command> [Options]

# (indicates the start of a command line), Type ID, Device ID, Command, then any additional options in the order

that they appear in the command descriptions on the following pages. Commands can be either UPPER CASE or

lower case. Return values are always in upper case. In order for a command to be recognized by the RS-232 serial

port, the command must be terminated by a carriage return.

For example, a command to disable mute for Mic 2 (input channel 2) on Converge 880 device “0” would have the

command line: #50 MUTE 2 I 0. In this command line, 5=Converge 880, 0=unit 0, MUTE=command, 2=channel

2, I=input channel, 0=off state.

If a ‘*’ is placed in the Type ID or Device ID fields, the command is to apply to all units or all devices respectively.

For example a command with the Type ID of 1 and a Device ID of ‘*’ would mean that the command is to be applied

to all Converge 880 units. A command with a Type ID of ‘*’ and a Device ID of 6 would mean that the command is

to be applied to all #6 devices of all unit types.

If a command calls for a “null” value, leave a blank in the command line (for example “#40 MUTE 2 I” would return

the current mute state of Mic 2 on device 40).

Designations

Text commands use the alpha designations. Also, different channel groups have different allowable channel ranges.

1 2 ... 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 ... 263 264
