An RS-232C serial cable must be connected to the serial ports on the PC and monitor.

Using MDC via Ethernet

Enter the IP for the primary display device and connect the device to the PC. One display device can

connect to another using an RS-232C serial cable.

Connection Management

Connection management includes the Connection list and Connection list modification options.

Connection list – Connection list shows the details of the connections such as connection setting (IP/

COM, Port No, MAC, and Connection Type), connection status, Set ID Range, and detected devices.

Each connection can contain a maximum of 100 devices connected in serial daisy-chain fashion. All the

LFDs detected in a connection are displayed in the Device list, where the user can make groups and

send commands to detected devices.

Connection list modification options – Connection modification options includes Add, Edit, Delete,

and Refresh.

Auto Set ID

Auto Set ID feature assigns a Set ID for all the LFDs connected in daisy-chain of a selected connection.

There can be a maximum of 100 LFDs in a connection. The Set ID is assigned sequentially in the daisy-

chain running from 1 to 99, and then finally to Set ID 0.

Cloning

Using the Cloning feature, you can copy the setting of one LFD and apply it to multiple selected LFDs.

You can select specific tab categories or all tab categories for cloning, using the copy setting option

window.

Command Retry

This feature is used to specify the maximum number of times the MDC command will be retried in case of

there being no reply or a corrupted reply from an LFD. The retry count value can be set using the MDC

options window. The retry count value must be between 1-10. The default value is 1.

Troubleshooting Guide

Issue Solution

The display you want to control
does not appear on the system
information chart.

The display you want to control
does not appear on the other
Control Info Grids.

The following message appears
repeatedly.

1. Check the connection of the RS232C cable (check that the
cable is properly connected to appropriate serial port).

2. Check that another display with a duplicate ID is not
connected. Connecting displays with a duplicate ID can
cause the displays not to be shown due to data collision.

3. Check that the display ID is within the range of 0 and 99.
(Change the ID using the Display menu.)

For a display that supports the ID in a range of 0 to 99,
the ID should be set between 0 and 99.

Check that the display is powered on. (See the power status in
the system information chart.)

Ensure you select the input source the display is connected to.

Check that the display you want to control is selected.

removed or the program is closed abnormally while the Remote
Control function is Disable. To resolve this, run the program
again and set Remote Control to Enable.

This program may malfunction sometimes due to a communication problem between the PC and
display or electromagnetic waves emitted from nearby electronic devices.
