RS232 and Telnet Commands
The Blustream MX44VW can be controlled via serial and TCP/IP. The following pages list all available serial commands for the
MX44VW Matrix. Details of RS232 pin assignment can be found on page 5.
Commonly used Serial commands:
There are several commands that are commonly used for control and testing:-
STATUS Status will give feedback on Matrix such as zones on, type of connection etc
PON Power on
POFF Power o
OUTxxON (xx is the zone number you wish to turn on)
Example:- OUT01ON (This would turn output one back on)
OUTxxFRyy (xx is the zone out, yy is the input)
Example:- OUT01FR04 (This would switch output 1 to source input 4)
Common Mistakes
• Carriage return – Some programs do not require the carriage return where as other will not work unless sent directly aer the
string. In the case of some Terminal soware the token <CR> is used to execute a carriage return. Depending on the program you
are using this token maybe dierent. Some other examples that other control systems deploy include \r or 0D (in hex)
• Spaces – Blustream commands do not require space between commands unless specified. There may be some programs that
require spacing in order to work.
- How the string should look is as follows OUT01ON
- How the string may look if spaces are required: OUT{Space}01{Space}ON
• Baud rate or other serial protocol settings not correct - please see Page 5 for Matrix settings
