ROLAND M-5000 (06) PDF SUMMARY:

Q: How do you connect the control computer to the M-5000 using an RS-232C cable?

A: To connect the control computer to the M-5000, you must first power off both the M-5000 and the computer. Then, use an RS-232C cable to connect the RS-232C connector of your computer to the RS-232C connector located on the back of the M-5000.


Q: What are the necessary connections for the M-5000 to function via RS-232C?

A: For the M-5000 to function, the three pins RXD, TXD, and GND must be connected. The pin connections are as follows:

  • Computer RXD (pin 2) to M-5000 RXD (pin 2)
  • Computer TXD (pin 3) to M-5000 TXD (pin 3)
  • Computer GND (pin 5) to M-5000 GND (pin 5)

Q: What are the communication settings required for the control computer when using the RS-232C interface?

A: The control computer’s communication settings should be configured as follows:

  • Communication method: Synchronous (asynchronous), full-duplex
  • Communication speed: 4800bps, 9600bps, 14400bps, 31250bps, 38400bps, 57600bps, or 115200bps (must match the M-5000 setting)
  • Parity: none
  • Data length: 8bit
  • Stop bit: 1bit
  • Code set: ASCII
  • XonXoff: on

Q: How do you set the communication speed on the M-5000 when using the RS-232C interface?

A: The M-5000’s default communication speed is set to 115,200 bps. If using RS-232C, you need to set the M-5000’s communication speed to match the setting of the computer.


Q: What are the steps to set up the RS-232C connection between the control computer and the M-5000?

A: Follow these steps to set up the RS-232C connection:

  1. Connect the control computer using an RS-232C cable.
  2. Power up the computer that will be controlling the M-5000.
  3. Make communication settings on the control computer.
  4. Make communication settings on the M-5000.
  5. Start operating the M-5000, data transmission between the computer and the M-5000 will begin.

Q: What are the Telnet server specifications for the M-5000?

A: The M-5000’s Telnet server specifications are as follows:

  • Connector: LAN connector
  • TCP port: 8023
  • Control Mode: Character mode (character-at-a-time mode)
  • Echo Control: Remote echo
  • Termination Key: Processing reception CR, LF or CR-LF; Processing transmission CR-LF

Q: What are the network connection requirements for using Telnet to control the M-5000?

A: The computer and the M-5000 must be connected on the same network.


Q: What should you do if the network traffic where the M-5000 is connected is too busy?

A: If the network traffic where the M-5000 is connected is too busy and the unit cannot operate properly, take the following counter measures:

  • Separate the network for the M-5000 control from the others.
  • Decrease the traffic amount of broadcast packets.
  • Decrease the traffic amount addressed to the M-5000 unit like PING.

Q: What are the methods to set the M-5000’s IP address?

A: You can set the M-5000’s IP address using one of the following methods:

  • Use a fixed IP address
  • Use DHCP

Q: How do you set the M-5000’s LAN using a fixed IP address?

A: When using a fixed IP address, set the M-5000’s LAN as follows:

  • CONFIGURE: MANUALLY
  • IP ADDRESS: As necessary (follow the network to connect)
  • SUBNET MASK: As necessary (follow the network to connect)

Q: How do you set the M-5000’s LAN using DHCP?

A: When using DHCP, set the M-5000’s LAN as follows:

  • CONFIGURE: USING DHCP

Q: What should you check if the network cannot be connected properly?

A: If the network cannot be connected properly, check the following:

  • Check that the IP address is not overlapped by another device.
  • Check that the subnet mask and gateway settings are properly set.
  • Check that firewall or other securities are properly set on the computer.

Q: How do the M-5000 and the control computer communicate?

A: The M-5000 and the control computer communicate via commands.


Q: What needs to be converted when using Telnet commands instead of RS-232C commands?

A: When using Telnet, the control codes (stx, ack) of the RS-232C commands should be converted as follows:

  • stx (0x02): Delete
  • ack (0x06): Convert to the text “OK”

Q: What is the general syntax for commands?

A: In general, the command syntax is an ASCII string consisting of “stx” and “three uppercase letters” followed by a “;” (semicolon). The three letters indicate the type of command.


Q: What is “stx” in the command syntax?

A: “stx” is the name of the signal in ASCII code (code number 02H in hexadecimal); it is a control code that indicates the beginning of a command.


Q: What is the purpose of the semicolon (;) in the command syntax?

A: The semicolon (;) code lets the M-5000 detect the end of the command.


Q: What are the two types of communication protocols between the control computer and the M-5000?

A: The two types of communication protocols are: * One for specifying an operation or setting for the M-5000, which corresponds to “Control Commands”. * One for checking the status of a setting in the M-5000, which corresponds to “Request Commands”.


Q: What is the procedure for control commands?

A: The procedure for control commands is as follows:

  1. The computer transmits a command to the M-5000 using the format stx + command.
  2. The M-5000 will output “ack” if the command was received correctly, or an ERR command in case of invalid reception.

Q: What does “ack” signify?

A: “ack” is the ASCII code name of the control code (06H in hexadecimal) acknowledging successful reception.


Q: What does invalid reception mean?

A: Invalid reception corresponds to cases in which the syntax of the received command was incorrect.


Q: What is the procedure for request commands?

A: The procedure for request commands is as follows:

  1. The computer transmits a command to the M-5000 using the format stx + command
  2. If the M-5000 receives the command correctly, it will send back a command containing the information that was requested. If the command was not received correctly, an ERR command will be sent back.
  3. If the output of the M-5000 was received correctly, an “ack” will be sent back. (This “ack” can be omitted.)

Q: What happens if an ERR command is sent to the M-5000 when using request commands?

A: If the ERR command is sent to the M-5000, the M-5000 will re-transmit the command it sent in step “b”. This command can also be omitted; instead of returning anything, you can repeat the procedure from step “a”.


Q: What does the M-5000 do when a setting is changed by a controller operation on the M-5000 itself?

A: The M-5000 will not transmit anything when a setting is changed by a controller operation on the M-5000 itself.


Q: What are the different types of command syntax?

A: There are three types of command syntax:

  • Type 0: Commands consisting only of a control code. No “;” is added. For example, ack.
  • Type 1: Commands that have no parameters. These commands end with “;”. For example, stxVRQ;.
  • Type 2: Commands that have parameters. The syntax is: Command: parameter, parameter…;. Parameters are separated by a colon (:) after the command and commas (,) between parameters. The end of the parameters is indicated by a semicolon (;).

Q: What should you know about spaces and tabs in the command syntax?

A: No spaces or tabs are allowed between commands or parameters.


Q: How are input parameters generally given?

A: In general, parameters are given as decimal numbers or letters, and are of variable length.


Q: How are output parameters generally given?

A: Parameters are generally given in decimal or alphabetic form, and their length may vary.


Q: What are the special purpose commands for Telnet and how are they processed?

A: The special purpose commands for Telnet are:

  • Text “OK”: Sends “ack” to the server.
  • Text “QUIT”: Terminates the connection.

Q: What case should the special purpose commands for Telnet be?

A: You can use capital or small letters for the special purpose commands for Telnet.


Q: What actions should not be performed while the control computer and the M-5000 are communicating?

A: Do not perform the following actions while the control computer and the M-5000 are communicating, as doing so may cause the M-5000 to malfunction:

Q: What types of commands are sent from the control computer to the M-5000?

A: The following three types of commands are sent from an external device to the M-5000:

  • Control (execution) commands: These commands are used to adjust the volume and to make various settings.
  • Request commands: These commands are used to check the current state of the M-5000’s settings.
  • Reply commands: These commands, such as “ack” and “ERR”, are used to reply to the M-5000 when a request command is used.
