ALTINEX MT105-111 Manuel D’Utilisation

8

Step 1. Slide the MT105-110/111 into an available 

slot in the Multi-Tasker™ Enclosure in 
order to connect to the bus. Make sure 
that the MT105-110/111  card fits into 
place. Secure the card to the Multi-
Tasker™ by tightening the retainer 
screws located on the top and bottom of 
the MT105-110/111 card.

Step 2. Connect a coaxial cable from the video 

source to the input connector of the 
MT105-110/111. Connect the output 
connectors of the MT105-110/111 to the 
display devices through a coaxial cable

Step 3. Starting from the left, identify the slot 

number where the MT105-110/111 card is 
plugged into the Enclosure and note that 
it for RS-232 control.

When used in the Multi-Tasker™ Enclosure, the 
MT105-110/111 has many advanced remote 
control capabilities, which are accessible 
through standard RS-232 communication. The 
actual controlling can be accomplished through 
a computer control system or any other device 
capable of sending RS-232 commands.

The RS-232 commands for the MT105-110/111 
are in a simple ASCII character format

After processing a command, an OK or ER 
string will be returned as feedback if "F" is 
included at the end of a command string or if the 
unit ID is zero.

Commands such as [ON], [OFF], and [IO] that 
end in "S" will be saved into memory. 
Commands not ending in "S" will still be 
executed but will not be restored when the 
system is reset (power off & power on again).

Each command consists of three parts: function, 
card ID, and unit ID. [Function, Card ID, Unit ID

VER = function
C3 = Card ID
U2 = Unit ID

For function, see a detailed explanation under 
each command description.

Card ID is an assigned value from 1 to 19 (1 to 
8 or 1 to 2 depending on which enclosure is 
being used); based on which slot the card is put 
in. Card ID 0 (C0) is used for the controller (see 
user’s guide for the MT100-100). Changing the 
position of a card will significantly affect the 
commands recorded on software definitions or a 
third party control system. 

Unit ID has a value from 0 to 9. Unit ID 0 should 
be used for single unit operation. If the Unit ID is 
set to 0, then each command can be used 
without Ui (use command [SETU0]; see user’s 
guide for the MT100-100).

[VERC3]: for unit ID zero
[VERC3Ui]: for unit ID other than zero
[VERC3]: equivalent to [VERC3U0]

This command displays the software version 
and card type for the MT105-110/111 card

Command Format: [VERCnUi

Cn = card ID (n = slot # from 1 to 19)
Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) (refer to the
MT100-100 user’s guide for explanation
