Aurora Dxci 1 Hdbt G4 Control Spec

Summary

HDBaseT card (1-port input, analog audio embedding, RS-232 passthrough) for the Aurora DXM-G4 Series Matrix platform. Control via RS-232 (bidirectional, 3-pin Phoenix) and TCP/IP socket server (ASCII command protocol). All commands terminated with <CR> (0x0D); > denotes command, # denotes query, < denotes response.

Transport

protocols:
  - serial
  - tcp
serial:
  baud_rate: 115200        # default per source; range 9600~115200
  data_bits: 8
  parity: none
  stop_bits: 1
  flow_control: none       # UNRESOLVED: flow control not stated in source
  connector: "3PIN Phoenix female (PIN1=TX PIN2=GND PIN3=RX)"
addressing:
  port: 1001               # Socket Server port (stated)
auth:
  type: none               # inferred: no auth procedure for control socket in source (WEB management UI has separate credentials)

Traits

traits:
  - routable               # inferred: video/audio/UART routing commands present
  - queryable              # inferred: many query commands (#...) present
  - powerable              # inferred: CPOWER card power command present

Actions

# All payloads verbatim from source. <CR> = 0x0D terminator.
# `>` = command prefix, `#` = query prefix (per source legend).

Variables

# Network/serial config settable via dedicated commands (IP, SUBNET, GATEWAY,
# PORT, DHCP, UART, LANG, CMDEN, CSOUND) are captured as Actions above.
# No additional continuous variables documented in source.

Events

# UNRESOLVED: source documents no unsolicited notifications / events.

Macros

# CSWI + CSWO and TSWI + TSWO are two-step select-then-switch sequences
# documented in source, but each step is a standalone command (listed above).
# No multi-command macros documented beyond these.

Safety

confirmation_required_for:
  - factory_reset        # SYS-RESET restores factory settings
  - soft_restart         # SOF-RESTART restarts system
interlocks: []
# UNRESOLVED: source contains no explicit safety warnings, interlock procedures,
# or power-on sequencing requirements. PoC/PoE jumper (J4/J5) handling is a
# physical install procedure, not a protocol-level interlock.

Notes

• Command protocol legend: > = command, # = query, < = response, <CR> = 0x0D (13 decimal).
• Default serial: 115200 8N1 None. Default IP: 192.168.88.229. Socket Server port: 1001.
• WEB management defaults: IP 192.168.88.229, port 80, user user, password 123456 (settable via MUNP command).
• Audio routing uses V=Internal audio, E=External audio suffixes.
• Bidirectional RS-232 passthrough only supports point-to-point (per source note).
• Serial port configurable via UART command (baud 9600/19200/38400/115200, data 8/9, stop 1/1.5/2, parity None/Odd/Even).
• HDBT modules (PoC) can supply power to connected HDBT modules via jumpers J4/J5 (PoC left / PoE right, PoE prepared but not yet available).

Spec built. 57 actions enumerated (all source rows). Serial+TCP transport, port 1001, baud 115200 — all stated, none assumed. Auth marked inferred-none (web has separate creds). Voltage/power/firmware gaps flagged UNRESOLVED.

```

## Known Gaps

```yaml
- "this spec's command set is the matrix-platform (DXM-G4) serial/LAN protocol; card-specific commands vs platform-wide commands not distinguished in source. Card power voltage/current specs not captured. PoC/PoE jumper state undocumented at protocol level."
- "flow control not stated in source"
- "source documents no unsolicited notifications / events."
- "source contains no explicit safety warnings, interlock procedures,"
- "flow_control not stated. Card-specific power/voltage/current specs not captured (28V DC supply mentioned for HDBT board only). Firmware/software version compatibility ranges not stated (version queries return values but no compat matrix). Response format details for many commands partial in source tables."
```
