DCP-XML permits remote control of V-Switch quad II by a computer or other devices using the RS-232 serial
port of V-Switch quad II. To connect to this port, use the „serial cable” (HETEC RJ45-DB9 adaptor + standard
RJ45 CAT5 cable).
DCP is an XML-based protocol.
Using DCP, all important settings of V-Switch quad II can be queried and changed.
A general description of XML can be found at http://www.w3.org/XML/
The XML scheme for DCP can be found on the enclosed CD, under the name „dcp.xsd”.
For a detailed description on how to use DCP-XML with V-Switch quad II please see the „DCP-XML Manual” on
CD supplied with V-Switch quad II.
DCP Modes
DCP has two modes of operation:
1. Control
This mode is intended for direct control of a V-Switch quad II, for example using a computer.
2. Synchronize
This mode is used to synchronize multiple, linked devices.
In Synchronize mode, V-Switch quad II sends all settings changes as DCP messages.
Thus, a chain of linked V-Switch quad II can be controlled synchroneously.
