Incoming and Outgoing commands to com port

[hkypuk6]

Does RB have the capability of sending commands to, let's say, a Broadcast Tools Audio Switcher (SS4.4) via the com port connection?  In particular I need to send a command like *0011 or *0021 to change the audio switcher's input/output at a particular time?

Also, can RB except incoming "triggers" or "tones" (dtmf/subaudibles etc...) and execute the playing of a commercial or playlist via com port, USB or something?


Thanks

Mike

RB itself cannot do it, but it has a feature to execute external commands.
You can create bat files with contents like:

echo *0011 >COM1

And then schedule to execute the specified BAT file in Events (click Wizard, select "Start program").

DTMF is planned for RadioBOSS 4.8. I'm not sure yet about other tones...
