Crestron Control Information
Macro Controls
See below for a sample screen.
SIMPLWINDOWS NAME: Vortex Macros
MANUFACTURER: Polycom
CATEGORY: MIXER
VERSION: 1.0
SUMMARY: Allows control of all 256 available macros
GENERAL NOTES: The commands used for the Polycom Vortex may be similar
to commands used for other Polycom Installed Voice products. Therefore, the same modules
developed for the Vortex may work on other products. To allow for
this flexibility of use, you must specify which model is being
controlled using the TYPE-ID-HEX parameter field. This must be a 2 digit
hex representation of the model type as defined by Polycom. For the Vortex,
the model type is F, therefore the parameter value to use is 46 which
is the hex representation of the letter F. This can be seen by
checking any standard ASCII chart. There should be no suffix used after
the 46.
Multiple devices can be connected to the ASPI bus and controlled from
a single RS232 port. Therefore, it is also necessary to enter the Unit ID
of the device being controlled. This should be entered in the
UNIT-ID-ASCII parameter field as a two digit number from 00-07 with no suffix.
This module allows macros which have been previously programmed into the
system to be troggered by the Crestron system. Note that macros can
be set up to allow multiple channels of volume to be controlled
simultaneously. See the demo program for an example of how to do this.

SIMPLWINDOWS NAME: Vortex Presets
MANUFACTURER: Polycom
CATEGORY: MIXER
VERSION: 1.0
SUMMARY: Allows control of all 48 available presets
GENERAL NOTES: The commands used for the Polycom Vortex may be similar
to commands used for other Polycom Installed Voice products. Therefore, the same modules
developed for the Vortex may work on other products. To allow for
this flexibility of use, you must specify which model is being

of the device being controlled. This should be entered in the
UNIT-ID-ASCII parameter field as a two digit number from 00-07 with no suffix.
This module allows any of the 48 available presets to be recalled. It also
allows any of the user definable presets to be saved (Presets 16-47). If you
attempt to save any of presets 0-15, it will not work.
Saving a preset is a three step process:
To recall a preset, just pulse the preset number.
