Kramer VS-42UHD

40 VS-42UHD - Protocol 3000
• K-Config (Kramer configuration software):
All the examples provided in this section are based on using the
K-Config software.
You can enter commands directly using terminal communication software (e.g.,
Hercules) by connecting a PC to the serial or Ethernet port on the VS-42UHD. To
enter CR press the Enter key (LF is also sent but is ignored by the command
parser).
Commands sent from various non-Kramer controllers (e.g., Crestron) may require
special coding for some characters (such as, /X##). For more information, refer to
your controller’s documentation.

13.1 Understanding Protocol 3000
Protocol 3000 commands are structured according to the following:
• Command – A sequence of ASCII letters (A-Z, a-z and -). A command and
its parameters must be separated by at least one space.
• Parameters – A sequence of alphanumeric ASCII characters (0-9, A-Z, a-z
and some special characters for specific commands). Parameters are
separated by commas.
• Message string – Every command entered as part of a message string
begins with a message starting character and ends with a message closing
character.
