LAN Communication
HOW IT WORKS
The display is first connected to the Serial Communication Port of a
computer in the LAN environment which we refer to as the Receiving Slave
Computer (RSC). The computer that will actually be transmitting messages to
the display is referred to as the Transmitting Master Computer (TMC). The TMC
will have the display control software installed. It is not necessary to install the
software on the RSC. The next step is to set-up a Generic/ Text Only printer
driver on the RSC and share it with the TMC. Once the set-up is done and a
message created, a simple click on the button for "Send via Network" will bring
up the "PRINT" dialog window. You then select the Generic/Text Only printer
created and click on "OK" and your message is on its way.
• RSC Printer Driver Set -Up
1. Begin by clicking on "Start", "Settings", and "Printers". The "Printer" dia-
log window will appear.
2. Double-click on the "Add Printer" icon. The "Add Printer Wizard" window
will appear.
3. Click on "Next". Select "Local printer" and click on "Next" again.
4. Under "Manufacturers", search for "Generic". Select "Generic" and click

then select to "Keep existing driver" and click on "Next".

to and click on "Next". For Example: If the display is connected to COM1,
