    ANIUSB Command Strings

    The device is connected via Ethernet to a control system, such as AMX, Crestron or Extron.

    Connection: Ethernet (TCP/IP; select “Client” in the AMX/Crestron program)

    Port: 2202

    Conventions

    The device has 4 types of strings:

    GET

    Finds the status of a parameter. After the AMX/Crestron sends a GET command, the ANIUSB responds with a REPORT string

    SET

    Changes the status of a parameter. After the AMX/Crestron sends a SET command, the ANIUSB will respond with a REPORT string to indicate the new value of the parameter.

    REP

    When the ANIUSB receives a GET or SET command, it will reply with a REPORT command to indicate the status of the parameter. REPORT is also sent by the ANIUSB when a parameter is changed on the ANIUSB or through the GUI.

    SAMPLE

    Used for metering audio levels.

    All messages sent and received are ASCII. Note that the level indicators and gain indicators are also in ASCII

    Most parameters will send a REPORT command when they change. Thus, it is not necessary to constantly query parameters. The ANIUSB will send a REPORT command when any of these parameters change.

    The character

    “x”

    in all of the following strings represents the channel of the ANIUSB and can be ASCII numbers 0 through 4 as in the following table

    00 All channels
    01-04 Dante Inputs
    05 Analog Input
    06 USB Input
    07-08 Dante Outputs
    09 Analog Output
    10 USB Output
