I've set up several ACS8.2's and have never had a problem getting them to
work with Rivendell.
Can you talk to the switcher using Putty or minicom via the serial port?
If so, have you checked to see that the serial port is set up properly in
Rivendell and that the switcher is defined to use the correct port?
Also, are you using a USB-to-serial converter? If so, it will probably
show up as ttyUSB0, but I have known them to suddenly rename themselves
ttyUSB1. The only way I know around that is to write a udev rule to alias
it to a name you specify, like SWITCHER0, and set up Rivendell to use that
name.

Hi all,
Thanks for the hints. Had to wrestle the thing out of a rack to change DIP
switches all while trying to stay on air (not fun).
I've also enabled the serial ports (didn't even know this was an option)
thanks to John's info.
Still coming up short, I'm going to step back from Riv and try and get a
direct serial connection working before I go any further.
Thanks for the help so far.

Hi,
I have a Broadcast Tools ACS 8.2 Plus. I'm trying to use it with
Rivendell although at this point I'd settle for any old bash script that
would make it work.
I've added the switcher to the host as matrix 0 (using the ACS 8.2
profile) and tried to use the ST commands but nothing seems to work. Do I
need to set up the port speed or anything else under linux before I try
using macro commands or does Rivendell do this?
Basically I can't find a decent guide to this and wondering if anyone has
an idiots guide to getting these things going?
It's been a while, but I do distinctly remember that you must get the dip
switches
inside the switcher right, else nothing works.
