Use of crossover (null modem) cable requires use with PC.

This document describes the hardware interface spec and software protocols of RS232 interface

communication between Commercial Display and PC or other control unit with RS232 protocol. This set protocol allow users to assign the ID in the command to control the specify ID monitor. The set protocol contains two sections command: Set-Function and Get-Function

RS232 pin assignment

Communication setting

Baud rate select: 9600bps (fixed)/ Data bits: 8 bits (fixed)

Parity: None (fixed)/ Stop Bits: 1(fixed)

Command message reference

PC sends to Monitor command packet followed by "CR". Every time PC sends control command to the

Monitor, the Monitor shall response as follows:

1. If the message is received correctly, it will send "+" (02Bh) followed by "CR" (00Dh).

2. If the message is received incorrectly, it will send "-" (02Dh) followed by "CR" (00Dh).

Connections and communication settings

Choose one of the connections and set up properly before RS232 control.

RS232 serial port connection

RS232 via LAN

Find the Wired LAN IP address of the connected display from the OSD menu and make sure the display and the computer are within the same network.
