RS-232 Device

VS-411XS

Principles of Operation
This section describes the VS-411XS powerful operation principles:
• Input Auto-Switching on page 10.
• IP-Driven CEC Signals Routing via Built-in Control Gateway on page 11.
• Maestro Built-in Control and Automation Configuration on page 12.
• Maestro Kramer Aware Touch Panel Control on page 14.
Input Auto-Switching
Input selection is set by the DIP-switches (see Setting DIP-Switches on page 15) to either of the following modes:
- Manual
- Auto – Last connected
- Auto – Priority
By-default switching is set to Auto Last connected.

When in manual mode, a manual switch to an unconnected input stays connected to output. Manual switching overrides auto-switch mode.
In manual mode, select an input by:
- Pressing input front panel buttons.
- Using remote input selection switches (see Using Contact Closure Remote Control Pins on page 16).
- Sending RS-232 serial commands control (see Protocol 3000 Commands on page 70).
• Using the embedded web pages (see Selecting an Input on page 23). - Using Maestro Control on Kramer Aware touch panel (see Operating via Maestro Kramer Aware Touch Panel on page 45).
In auto-switching mode, switching selection is performed based on either last connected or priority input:
- In last connected mode, if the signal on the current input is lost, VS-411XS automatically selects the last connected input, (the delay depends on a configurable timeout).
- In priority mode, when the input sync signal is lost for any reason, the input with a live signal and next in priority is selected automatically, (the delay depending on the configurable signal-lost timeout, (see Setting Auto Switching Priorities on page 34).
IP-Driven CEC Signals Routing via Built-in Control Gateway
VS-411XS sends CEC commands from a control system, connected by LAN, via the VS-411XS built-in control gateway, to control devices that are connected to the VS-411XS HDMI output and the selected input.
The built-in control gateway sends the control commands to the connected controlled devices, and sends their received responses to the control system when DIP-switch 3 is enabled (see Setting DIP-Switches on page 15).
Figure 8 shows the VS-411XS built-in control gateway connection. A control system supporting CEC-over-IP (such as Kramer Control) is connected to the Ethernet port via LAN. The control system sends CEC commands to the selected input (IN 1, in this example) and the output, and receives responses from them.

Built-in CEC gateway ON/OFF configuration and management (such as the CEC members logical addresses view) is performed via web-UI (see Define CEC Gateway Settings on page 29) and DIP-switches (see Setting DIP-Switches on page 15) for CEC notification settings.
Maestro Built-in Control and Automation Configuration
The VS-411XS built-in Maestro control and automation enables configuring triggers to simply create a sequence of actions that are carried out following trigger activation (see Configuring Device Control and Automation on page 41).
Thanks to out-of-the-box default configuration, VS-411XS is ready to control the following typical room configuration that can be controlled via several Maestro triggers.

Figure 9: Typical Room Configuration
This room includes a podium, a side table, a projector, speakers, a projector screen, room blinds and so on, as follows:
| On the side table: | Three sources connected to VS-411XS HDMI inputs (for example, the Room PC, or a plugged-in device to connect to the K-Spider adapter cable).A KT-107 touch panel supporting Kramer aware and connected to the LAN. |
| Under the side table: | VS-411XS and FC-28 IP control gateway. |
| On the podium: | A BYOD source connected, via K-Spider adapter cable, to WP-871xr DGKat transmitter that is connected to the PT-872xr receiver.Remote buttons connected to the remote contact closure pins on the VS-411XS. |
| Next to the door near the entrance: | Remote buttons connected to the remote contact closure pins on the VS-411XS. |
| In the room: | VS-411XS HDMI output is connected to a projector via PT-3H2 HDMI extender, and audio output is connected to the Tavor 5-O speakers.The window blinds and projector screen are connected to GPIO/relay pins on the FC-28 IP control gateway. |
| LAN connections | VS-411XS, FC-28 IP control gateway, KT-107, and a Kramer Network control system. |
VS-411XS, built-in Maestro configuration enables almost immediate control over these elements for different scenarios, once all the elements in the room are connected (with minimal settings via built-in Maestro automation embedded web pages, such as device-specific IP addresses, see Configuring Device Control and Automation on page 41).
For example, the remote button on the podium, connected to the contact closure pin on VS-411XS, is defined as a trigger for starting a presentation.
Once the button is pressed, the PresentationStart, built-in script, runs a series of actions such as unmuting the audio and video outputs, turning the projector ON via CEC, lowering the screen rolling the blinds down, etc.
In this example, the projector is turned on via the CEC-TV port, relays on the FC-28 are activated via the Non-serial-onGW port (by defining the gateway IP address), and audio and video are unmuted by the internal port.
Factory default triggers, Scenarios, actions and ports are listed in Default Automation settings on page 62.
In addition to remote button triggers, the room can also be controlled via KT-107 touch panel buttons (see Maestro Kramer Aware Touch Panel Control on page 14), or a control station included in Kramer Network management (see www.kramerav.com/product/kramer%20network).
Maestro Kramer Aware Touch Panel Control
VS-411XS Maestro room control and automation includes a built-in default configuration for optional (purchased separately) Kramer Aware touch panel that includes all the essential buttons enabling room control.

Acquiring and Discovering Plug-and-Play IP Address
By default, VS-411XS is DHCP-enabled, and the following Network settings are set:
- Fallback IP Address – 192.168.1.39
- Fallback Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0
- Fallback Gateway – 192.168.1.1
To automatically acquire the IP address from DHCP server, connect VS-411XS to a LAN via Ethernet.
When connecting the device to LAN, the device discovers the DHCP server and then a new IP is acquired.
The fallback IP address (for first-time use) or the last-acquired IP address (for a device with an IP address other than the default) are maintained until a new IP address is acquired via DHCP server.

If DHCP server is not discovered, it attempts discovery every \~1 minute, while keeping the current IP address (fallback or last-acquired).
To renew DHCP discovery, perform factory reset via the RESET button ^12 Following reset and web-UI factory reset, the last acquired IP address is auto enabled.
Discovering IP Address
You can discover the IP address via any of the following ways:
• Discovering IP Address via Ethernet on page 17.

Protocol 3000
Kramer devices can be operated using Kramer Protocol 3000 commands sent via serial or Ethernet ports.
Understanding Protocol 3000
Protocol 3000 commands are a sequence of ASCII letters, structured according to the following.
- Command format:
| Prefix | Command Name | Constant (Space) | Parameter(s) | Suffix |
| # | Command | - | Parameter |
- Feedback format:
| Prefix | Device ID | Constant | Command Name | Parameter(s) | Suffix |
| ~ | nn | @ | Command | Parameter |
- Command parameters – Multiple parameters must be separated by a comma (,). In addition, multiple parameters can be grouped as a single parameter using brackets ([ and ]).
- Command chain separator character – Multiple commands can be chained in the same string. Each command is delimited by a pipe character (I).
- Parameters attributes – Parameters may contain multiple attributes. Attributes are indicated with pointy brackets (<...>) and must be separated by a period (.).
The command framing varies according to how you interface with VS-211XS. The following figure displays how the # command is framed using terminal communication software (such as Hercules):
