, on pages 15 and 16)
Commands can be entered using a Telnet application such as the Extron DataViewer,
available at www.extron.com (see the DataViewer Help file for more details).
Host and Matrix Switcher Communication
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command sequence. Commands can be entered
back-to-back in a string with no spaces. When the switcher determines that a command
is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses
from the switcher to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]),
indicating the end of the response character string (one or more characters).

The copyright message is displayed upon connecting to a switcher via TCP/IP or Telnet or
after a power cycle via RS-232, and depends on the matrix switcher model.
