Operation; ASCII Code Control
When the RAB-14A is configured for ASCII Code Control, the
user can check switch status, test Switch Modules, and select A/B
channels using simple ASCII commands issued from a connected
PC or terminal.
When your installation includes multiple daisy chained RAB-14A
banks, ASCII commands can toggle a specific Switch Module,
toggle all modules in a specific bank, toggle the same module
number in every bank, or toggle all Switch Modules in all banks.
This section describes the commands that are available when the
RAB-14A is configured for ASCII Code Control.
