Quartz Routing Switcher Remote Control Protocol
Page - 18 Revision 1.4
For example the take request:
.SVA1,2(cr)
Could result in the following response:
.UV001,8194(cr)
This response means that destination 1 on control level 1 (‘V’) is routed via a tieline to source 2 on control
level 2. As 8194 is 2002 in hexadecimal lower 12 bits is 002 or source 2, upper 5 bits is 2 or control level
2.
Below is a table that précis the responses from the commonly used routing commands:
Command
Command Data
Normal Response/s
Note
Set Xpt
.S{level}{dest},{srce}(c
r)
No explicit response
.U response
conditional on route
being made
Multiple Set Xpt
.M{destination},{sourc

{destination},{source}
….
(cr)
.A
.U response/s
conditional on route
being made
Interrogate
Destination status
.I{level}{dest}(cr) .A{level}{dest},{srce}(cr)
There will be no
response to an
interrogate
command if the
level or destination
is invalid on the
device being
interrogated. The
reason for this is
that many routers
may be connected
to one controlling
system. Some of
these routers may
respond and others
may not. If routers
responded with an
error message if
the destination /
level were invalid,
the controller could
receive error
messages and a
valid response
simultaneously in
response to the
same request.
