Atlona AT-AV2416 Control Spec

Summary

The AT-AV2416 is a 24x16 audio/video matrix switcher. This spec covers RS-232 control of input/output routing, group/memory management, and system commands. Connection is via a 9-pin female D connector at 9600bps, 8N1.

Transport

Feedbacks

# UNRESOLVED: source does not document explicit response/acknowledgement strings
# beyond the query results themselves (e.g. Status, StatusX, S G, /*Type, /^Version).
# Query responses return the requested state; raw response format not detailed in source.

Variables

# UNRESOLVED: no settable scalar parameters distinct from routing actions.
# Memory slots 0-9, groups, and password are accessed via Actions, not as Variables.

Events

# UNRESOLVED: source does not document unsolicited notifications.

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: source does not document multi-step macro sequences.

Safety

confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks: []
# UNRESOLVED: source contains no explicit safety warnings, interlock procedures, or
# power-on sequencing requirements.

Notes

• Command codes are case- and spacing-sensitive per source ("do not change capitalization, spacing, or lettering").
• Every command line must terminate with one of ., ;, !, ", $, or & or it will fail.
• Variable placeholders: X = input, W/Y/Z = output slots, G = group number, N = memory number (0-9).
• The X B W,Y,Z, X A W,Y,Z, X V W,Y,Z, and G P P W,Y,Z commands each list three output slots; if fewer than three are needed, trailing slots are omitted (template preserved as three for fidelity to source).
• Password reset command exists (/+xxxxxxxx) but no login/authentication flow is documented — auth.type left UNRESOLVED.
• Source is a refined excerpt; full manual not located during discovery. Verify against complete vendor documentation before relying on edge-case behavior.

Spec ready. 25 actions enumerated, all source rows captured. 3 gaps flagged as UNRESOLVED.

summary: "All 25 spec actions matched literally in source with correct parameter templates and shapes; transport parameters verified; full command coverage. (8 unresolved item(s) noted in Known Gaps.)"

Known Gaps

- "TCP/IP control, authentication/login procedure, firmware version compatibility, and any queryable power state are not addressed in source."
- "source documents password-reset command (/+xxxxxxxx) but no login procedure"
- "source does not document explicit response/acknowledgement strings"
- "no settable scalar parameters distinct from routing actions."
- "source does not document unsolicited notifications."
- "source does not document multi-step macro sequences."
- "source contains no explicit safety warnings, interlock procedures, or"
- "TCP/IP control, firmware version range, response byte format for query commands, and authentication procedure are not stated in the refined source."
