RS232 Codes
RS232 control is not necessary for operation but is a convenient way to control displays from a
computer at a distance. Most things you can do with the remote, you can do with RS232 commands.
Plus, you can send inquiries to the displays and find out the current settings and values.
1. RS232 Command Format
Commands sent from the initiator to the follower must have the following format:
(www:xyz) [CR]
Where:
● ‘(‘ and ‘)’ indicate the start and end of the command data. If these characters are present,
the command processor shall assume that “valid” command data is present in the command string.
If these characters are not present in the command, the command processor shall assume the
data is not valid command data and ignore it.
● “www” indicates the command code. This field is case insensitive (i.e. “PWR”, “pwr” and
“PwR” should all be treated as “PWR”).
● “:x” is the destination parameter. This is an optional parameter that indicates which memory
the command is referencing. This parameter is reserved and shall not be used at this time.
● “y” is the operand, which can have one of the following values:
o ‘?’ = “Get” operand
o ‘=’ = “Set” operand
o ‘+’ = “Increment” operand
o ‘-‘ = “Decrement” operand
● “z” is the value to set for this parameter. It can have one of two formats:
o Integer value: Any positive or negative number (example: 100)
o String value: Any string surrounded by double quotes (example: “This is a string”)
● “[CR]” is the ASCII carriage return key (0x0D).
Responses sent from the follower to the initiator shall have the following format:

(u;www:x=z) [CR]
Where:
● ‘(‘ and ‘)’ indicate the start and end of the command data. If these characters are present,
the command processor shall assume that “valid” command data is present in the command
string. If these characters are not present in the command, the command processor shall
assume the data is not valid command data and ignore it.
● “u;” indicates the response code. This is only used by followers responding to a valid
command received. For any response code other than 0, the follower shall echo back the
command received rather than filling in the fields listed below. The following response codes
can be used:
o 0 = Command successfully processed
o 1 = Unknown command code
o 2 = Invalid operator
o 3 = Destination parameter not supported
o 4 = Setting not available
o 5 = Setting value not available
o 6 = Setting value not supported
o 7 = String too long
o 8 = Command not supported in standby mode
o 9 = Invalid parameter
o 10 = Error processing command
o 11 = Password not entered
● “www” indicates the command code sent by the follower. This field is case insensitive (i.e.
“PWR”, “pwr” and “PwR” should all be treated as “PWR”).
● “:x” is the destination parameter. This is an optional parameter that indicates which memory
the response is referencing. This parameter is reserved and shall not be used at this time.
● “z” is the new value (for set/increment/decrement commands) or the current value (for get
commands) for this parameter. It can have one of two formats:
● Integer value: Any positive or negative number (example: 100)
● String value: Any string surrounded by double quotes (example: “This is a string”)
● “[CR]” is the ASCII carriage return key (0x0D).

2. Connection Setting
The RS232 connection must use the following settings:
The display’s RS232 connector is wired in the straight through configuration, with the pinout as
follows:
● Pin 2: Tx out
● Pin 3: Rx in
● Pin 5: Ground
● Shell: Ground
● All other pins: No connect
Note: RS232 commands over LAN can be achieved by opening a TCP connection on Port 23 to the
display.
Note: RS232 and LAN functionality will not work in standby mode if Power Saving Config is set to
Wake on VGA. Use another Power Saving Config selection if RS232 or LAN support is needed.
