Remote Control
This section describes the remote control operation of the PowerCage FOX HDMI, including:
•
•
Simple Instruction Set Control
•
Serial Ports
The transmitter and receiver boards each have an RS-232 serial port on a 3 pins of a 5-pin
captive screw connector that can be connected to a host device (see
on page 6).
The PowerCage enclosure has a Configuration port, a 2.5 mm mini stereo jack, that parallels
the board ports (see
on page 15).
These serial ports make serial control of the transmitter and receiver possible, using devices
such as a computer running the Extron DataViewer or MicroSoft HyperTerminal utility or a
control system.
The protocol for all ports is as follows:
•
9600 baud
•
no parity
•
8 data bits
•
1 stop bit
•
no flow control
NOTES:
•
For each unit, the Remote RS-232 port is active only if the PowerCage
Configuration port is not active. If an active Configuration port connection is
made, the Remote RS-232 port for that board becomes inactive.
•
RS-232 commands and Windows-based control program 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.
