Remote Control and Monitoring
The CP750 was designed and built to make remote operation and monitoring easy. It
supports three different remote strategies:
• Status Monitoring and Level Control in the Setup Software
• ASCII Control
• SNMP
6.1 Status Monitoring and Level Control in the Setup Software
The virtual status monitor at the bottom of the setup software screens shown in Figure 6‐1
provides a user‐friendly interface. Its signal‐presence meter monitors the CP750 analog
output. There is a virtual input selector for each CP750 input. Clicking any of these buttons
activates the associated input. Each of the digital input virtual buttons has an associated
virtual LED, indicating a valid signal. The software also echoes the state of the front‐panel
display and fader. Any action available at the unit front panel can be executed through the
remote software.

6.2 ASCII Control
Full control of the CP750 is available through a set of ASCII commands and queries. No
error correction (CRC), sync bytes, or protocol is applied to this interface.
6.2.1 Connections
ASCII commands can be communicated over any of three ports:
• The RS-232 connector supports standard 9‐pin serial connections to PC serial ports
and other RS‐232 devices. It operates at 9600 baud with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no
parity, and no flow control. It cannot be invoked while the serial data port is in use by
the CP750 setup program.
