Entering Commands
You can directly enter all commands using a terminal with ASCII
communication software, such as HyperTerminal, Hercules, etc. Connect the
terminal to the serial, Ethernet, or USB port on the Kramer device. To enter
CR, press the Enter key. (LF is also sent but is ignored by the command
parser).
For commands sent from some non-Kramer controllers such as Crestron,
some characters require special coding (such as, /X##). Refer to the controller
manual.
