OPERATING MODES
Here are the operating modes supported by the device. They will be explained here. ROOM PC MODE WITH BYOD CONTENT SHARING MODE
This is the default mode. In this mode, only the Room PC USB and HDMI connections are routed to the main USB and HDMI peripherals.
The Room PC is the system that is currently selected to the main USB and HDMI peripherals. However, if the user would like to send HDMI content from the laptop’s USB-C or
HDMI connection to the Room PC, it is possible to do so with the HDMI SHARE output connection.
The user can also initiate a BYOM session on their laptop but a user trigger (front button, INO – BUTTON KIT or API call) needs to be done. BYOM MODE
In this mode, the laptop is the system that is automatically selected to the main USB and HDMI peripherals when detected. The Room PC is completely disconnected from the setup. When the laptop gets disconnected, the Room PC takes over until a new laptop is plugged in. 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.

SPECIFICATIONS
Here is the complete specification.
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.
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.
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
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. The authentication used is basic auth, and we use the same user and password as the webpage (default user=admin and password=[SERIAL_NUM] where [SERIAL_NUM] is the serial number of the device located under the unit).
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.
API COMMANDS
Here is the list of the RS232 and RESTAPI commands available for the device. The two interfaces share the same API.
INOGENI MAESTRO APPLICATION
You can use our INOGENI Maestro application to monitor firmware information and upgrade your unit. WEB INTERFACE
A web interface will be available at launch. This section will be populated soon. NOTE: You need to use the USB-B to USB-A cable provided with the box for the Maestro application to detect the unit. This is a preview of the upcoming Maestro application. More detailed configurations will be added to an updated version of the user guide.
You can use our INOGENI INO – BUTTON KIT to trigger the BYOM mode of the TOGGLE ROOMS.
Here is the connectivity diagram of the INO – BUTTON KIT to the TOGGLE ROOMS.
Here is also the timing diagram of the GPI and VOUT interfaces. When the GPI1 interface is shorted to GND, the VOUT signal will act like this depending on the laptop selected. Each cycle is 250ms.
