OPERATING MODES
Here are the operating modes supported by the device. They will be explained here.
AUTOMATIC MODE In this mode, the device will switch to the last detected computer. You can assign priorities to specific USB-C or USBB/HDMI hosts.
CUSTOM MODE In this mode, the user can configure the USB and HDMI switching modes independently.
AUTOMATIC This mode will switch automatically to the last source (USB or HDMI) connected if the operation mode is set to Custom. If the current source is disconnected, the device will switch back to the other source if it is detected. Push-button action and remote control are also supported.
MANUAL The manual mode will enable you to force a specific source selection. Push-button action and remote control are also supported.
MANUAL WITH FALLBACK The manual mode with fallback supports the same features as the manual mode. It will only add the possibility to switch to the other detected source connection automatically if the selected source is disconnected.
USB FOLLOWS HDMI In this mode, the USB host selection depends on the HDMI source selected. If the HDMI display switching mode is set to “Automatic”, the selected USB host will be the one associated to the last detected HDMI display source. Applicable only on the USB host switching mode.
HDMI FOLLOWS USB In this mode, the HDMI source selection depends on the USB host selected. If the USB host switching mode is set to “Automatic”, the selected HDMI display source will be the one associated to the last detected USB host.
NOTE: You cannot set “USB follows HDMI” and “HDMI follows USB” modes simultaneously.

SERIAL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
Here is the complete list of commands provided through the serial connection. As written on the back of the device, here is the pinout of the terminal block.
Pin 1: Receive Pin 2: GND Pin 3: Transmit Pin 4: 5V supply (for INOGENI Remote)
NOTE: The user needs to put a space character between the command name and argument.
You need to add a carriage return <CR> character and a line feed <LF> character at the end of the command string. Typically, commands will return “ACK<CR><LF>” in case of success and “NACK<CR><LF>” in case of failure. Baud rate: 9600 [default] // Data bits: 8 // Stop bits: 1 // Parity: None // Flow control: None See the “API Commands” section for all the commands available.
TCP TO RS232 TUNNELING The device can act as a TCP to RS232 bridge over the TCP port 5000. Any data sent/receive on this TCP socket will entirely be presented to the RS232 connection. Enabling this option through the device configuration or API will disable the “Serial communication protocol” of the device. You can use the PuTTY or Hercules clients to test your device with your equipment.
REST API
You can enable a bearer authentication in the HTTP header (Authorization: Bearer <token>) through our configuration page to increase security on the API.
There will be a return code to each call with the following commands: 200 => success 400 => error 401 => authorization error
TOGGLE DOCK 2×1 User Guide
9
The return body will usually be JSON formatted with a “message” field containing a JSON string explaining the cause of the error or “success” in case of success. Note that we are using self-signed certificates. It is also possible to embed arguments to an API call inside the URL to ease configuration with some control systems with the following topology:
GET https://<IP>/api/v1/<COMMAND>?<ARG1>=value&<ARG2>=value
where <COMMAND>, <ARG1> and <ARG2> are command and associated arguments.
For example, using the usbHost command, you can issue the following request:
GET https://<IP>/api/v1/usbHost?host=1
This request will set the USB host to laptop USB-C port.
The following commands allow to perform password management and bearer token management. By default, no authentication is required to perform action using the REST API. Authentication can be enabled through the embedded webpage or the REST API itself.

{ “message”: <String>
}
HTTP GET https://<IP>/api/v1/ accessTokenEn? enable=<number>

The bearer token is generated using a random process. The format of the bearer token only supports the following:
– Alphanumeric (A to Z) upper and lowercase characters. – Numbers 0-9.
See the “API Commands” section for all the commands available.
TELNET
You can use any telnet application to communicate with the device using TCP. Make sure to use the right IP address and port 23.
Use the serial communication protocol to configure the device.
The quit command can be used to ask server for disconnection.
See the “API Commands” section for all the commands available.

TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION
Here is the troubleshooting section for the device.
Problem
My laptop is not charging using my USB-C cable.
My device is switching HDMI video slowly.
The Maestro software is not able to detect my device.
Resolution
Check if the cable is rated to support USB-C power delivery. Also check if the cable used is among the ones that we already support. Visit https://inogeni.com/product/toggle-dock-2×1 for the complete list.
Make also sure that tour BIOS and your system chipset drivers are up to date. If your EDID mode is set to “passthrough”, the device is handshaking the EDID from the connected display to the source. This will take some time. To minimize video switching time, it is recommended to configure the EDID mode of the video sources to a preset EDID (e.g. 1080p60). If you are connected to Toggle Dock 2×1 through the laptop connections (USB-C or USB-B/HDMI), please make sure the laptop is selected by using the front “SELECT” button. When laptop is selected, this button will light up. The Maestro software will connect to the device through USB, this is why the device is not detected if the host is not properly selected.
