Remote Control

This section describes the remote control operation of the FOX II DP transmitter and
receiver, including:

Simple Instruction Set Control

Product Configuration Software

The transmitter and receiver each have a front panel Configuration port, a mini USB jack

(see

on page 12) and a rear panel Remote RS-232

port, a 3-pole captive screw connector (see

RS-232 and IR connections

on page 12).

Any of these ports can be connected to a host device such as a computer running the
HyperTerminal or DataViewer utility, or a control system to make serial control of the
transmitter and receiver possible.
The protocol for all ports is as follows:

9600 baud

no parity

8 data bits

1 stop bit

no flow control

NOTE: RS-232 commands and Product Configuration Software functions are

transmitter- or receiver-specific or may have different responses depending on the
unit connected. You must connect to the appropriate device for the command or
function to work properly or to get the expected response.

Host-to-Unit Instructions

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command character sequence. When a command is valid, the
unit executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from
the unit to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the

end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.
