Meridian Audio 586 Owners manual

Meridian 586 RS232 Interface

The RS232 interface of the 586 can be operated from any terminal which operates at 9600 baud with 1 start
bit, 1 stop bit and no parity. Commands take the form of two ASCII characters. A carriage return character
will execute the command, and backspace is also implemented. The commands emulate the use of the
MSR handset or the 586 handset as follows:
