I. Application
This document defines the communications method for control of the NEC LCD monitor, MultiSync P402 /P462 /P552 /P702 /V422 /V462 /V551 /V651 /V322 /V652 /V552 /X461S /X551S /X401S /X463UN /X551UN /V463 /V423 /X462S /X552S /X462UNV /V801 when using an external controller.
(3/72)
II. Preparation
2. Connectors and wiring
2.1 RS-232C Remote control
Connector: 9-pin D-Sub
Cable: Cross (reversed) cable or null modem cable
(Please refer “Controlling the LCD monitor via RS-232C Remote control” on User’s manual.)
2.2 LAN control
Connector: RJ-45 10/100 BASE-T Cable: Category 5 or higher LAN cable
(Please refer “Controlling the LCD monitor via LAN control” on User’s manual.)

7142 (Fixed) |
(Note)
The monitor will disconnect the connection if no packet data is received for 15 minutes.
And the controller (PC) has to re-connect to control the monitor again, after 15 minutes or more.
3.3 Communication timing
The controller should wait for a packet interval before next command is sent. The packet interval needs to be longer than 600msec for the LCD monitor.

Ex.) If you want to control a monitor that has the "ID No." as '1', specify a destination address
(7/72)
'A'(41h). If you want to control all of the monitors which are connected by a daisy chain, specify a destination address ‘ ’(2Ah).
4thbyte) Source: Source equipment ID. (Sender) Specify a sender address.
The controller must be ‘0’ (30h).
On the reply, the monitor sets the own MONITOR ID in here.
5thbyte) Message Type: (Case sensitive.)
Refer to section 4.2 “Message block format” for more details.
ASCII 'A' (41h): Command.
ASCII 'B' (42h): Command reply.
ASCII 'C' (43h): Get current parameter from a monitor.
ASCII 'D' (44h): "Get parameter" reply.
ASCII 'E' (45h): Set parameter.
ASCII 'F' (46h): "Set parameter" reply.
6th -7th bytes) Message Length:
Specify the length of the message (that follows the header) from STX to ETX. This length includes STX and ETX.
The byte data must be encoded to ASCII characters.
Ex.) The byte data 3Ah must be encoded to ASCII characters '3' and 'A' (33h and 41h). The byte data 0Bh must be encoded to ASCII characters '0' and 'B' (30h and 42h).
