CLI Commands

Overview

The AD004E / AD400E / AD202E can be configured and controlled via RS-232 commands when connected to a host computer or other device, such as a control system. This chapter provides information on command syntax and the commands that controls and configures the AD004E / AD400E / AD202E.

Command Syntax

CLI Command Format

The formula is as following:command + parameter + [ENTER]

Command:

The word that begins a command line to indicate an action to be performed. Command is required to be specified.

Parameter:

An argument that provides information to a command. There are two kinds of parameter:

variable: the strings, or characters, or symbols that can be composed
control: a specific and single string, or character, or symbol

Note: Parameter is not required.

ENTER:

The identifier that is used to end a command and symbolized as ↙. It is represented as 0x0D or 0x0D0x0A in ASCII code. This field is required.

Example

Here we take the example of the mute command for demonstration, and the formula is as following:
Command + Output + Num1 + Address + Num2 + Control+ [ENTER] In this command line, Output, Num1, Address, and Num2 are variable parameters while Control is control parameter.
The following tables show the possible values for the mute command

Command	Description
mute	Mute the selected output channel.
Variable Parameters	Description
---	---
Output	o

Num1

| xx| output channel number

w xx: 01–04

*| all output channels
Address| a| device address

Num2

| zz| device address number

w zz: 1–4 or 01–04

*| all devices
Control Parameter| Description
---|---
Control| on| mute on (no audio)
off| mute off (audio out)
Enter| Description
---|---

Acknowledge

Each acknowledge must end with “ Command OK ” or “ Command Incorrect ” and an ASCII code “ 0x03 ” which indicates ETX (End-of-Text; symbolized as ▼) as the termination character.
The format is as following:acknowledge + 0x03

Example

**** Example 1By sending the command line below to the device:mute o02 on↙
You will get the response from the device as following:Command OK↙▼

Example 2

By sending the command line below to the device:mute o02 on↙
You may get the response from the device as following:
Command Incorrect↙▼
