Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol
Page - 12 Revision 1.4
.WE{dest},{mnemonic string}(cr) Write a destination mnemonic
.WT{source},{mnemonic string}(cr) Write a source mnemonic
.WM{level},{mnemonic string}(cr) Write a level mnemonic
where the {dest}/{source} field is a ASCII representation of a number between 1 and the maximum
destination/source.
where the {level} field is one of the following ASCII characters: (V,A,B,C,D,E,F,G).
where the {mnemonic string} field is in ASCII and consists of ten characters. The string is
delimited by whitespace.
The router replies to the above commands with
.RA[E/T/M]{dest/source/level},{mnemonic string}(cr)
followed by an acknowledge response.
3.9. READ CONFIGURATION (EMBEDDED CONTROL SYSTEM ONLY)
This allows the routers internal configuration EPROM to be read back eight bytes at a time. The legal
address range is 0 to 3FFFh.
.?{addr}(cr)
The router replies with
.A{addr},{byte 1},{byte 2}, ... ,{byte 8}(cr)
3.10. WRITE CONFIGURATION (EMBEDDED CONTROL SYSTEM ONLY)
This allows the routers internal configuration EPROM to be re-written. For this option to work the router
must be fitted with EEPROM or NVRAM in place of the standard EPROM. The legal address range is 0
to FFFFh in normal mode and 0 to 1EFFFh in extended addressing mode. Between one and eight bytes
can be written on each command.
.!{addr},{byte 1},{byte 2}, ... ,{byte 8}(cr)
The router replies with
.A{addr},{byte 1},{byte 2}, ... ,{byte 8}(cr)
The addr parameter is 4 bytes long in normal mode and five bytes long in extended addressing mode.
