MX-FR Series Modular Matrix Frames – User's Manual 117
Binary
(B#In=[received text as binary data, e.g. 736F6D657468696E67]) or
(B#On=[received text as binary data, eg. 736F6D657468696E67])
where n is the port number, I refers input, O stands for the output ports.
The received text is translated to binary form. The maximum length of the received text is 54 byte, so the
length of the hex data can be up to 108 characters.
Far endpoint, connected to input port 1 is sending data, the router sends:
(B#I1=736F6D657468696E67)
Description: The properties of the serial pass-through can be queried on the input and the output side.
Serial pass-through sending and receiving is enabled on the 9th output port with 9600 baud.

Router Initiated Commands
EDID Status Changed
Description: This is sent after any command which changed the EDID table (EDID copy, EDID switch), or if a
new EDID source e.g. a new display device is connected to the router.
router shows that an EDID has changed.
INFO:
by the router if a display device having the same EDID is connected to that output. (The same display
device is connected again, or another display device (same brand) from the same manufacturer).
INFO: To keep your application in sync with the router it is recommended to issue a watch validity ( {wvd},
the table, as the change of these EDIDs triggered the (E_S_C) message.
Description: This message is sent when any value changes in the response for the {PS} command. The
or disconnected.
An input port (which had signal present before) detects no signal. The router sends a message
to indicate port status change.
INFO: The (PSC) message can be omitted by a third party controller, or it can be used to trigger a {PS}
command. In the latter case, the controller can be up to date with the port status without continuous queries.
