VSX8000, the VSX 8000 will send ***MACROX180 to Serial Port 1 or Serial Port 2. When the Mute
button is pushed again to unmute the VSX 8000, the VSX 8000 will send a ***MACROX181 to Serial
Port 1 or Serial Port 2.
Also, the Volume Up / Down buttons on the remote control also can control a Vortex Device. The
Volume Up button will send a ***MACROX183 command to Serial Port 1 or 2 and the Volume
Down button will send a ***MACROX184 command to Serial Port 1 or 2.
Here are three steps to follow in order to set up this functionality:
1.) ENABLE VORTEX MIXER AS AN RS-232 OPTION IN THE VSX
8000
In the VSX 8000 User Interface, go to SYSTEM, ADMIN SETTINGS, GENERAL SETTINGS, SERIAL PORTS. For
the appropriate port, select Vortex Mixer for RS-232 Mode.
Each Serial Port of the VSX8000 is wired as DTE. This means that the VSX 8000 transmits on Pin 2
and receives on Pin 3. In order to connect the VSX 8000's serial port to the Vortex Device's serial
port, a "straight through" serial cable should be used.
Below is a diagram that shows how to make this connection:
