Configuration and Operation Examples
A binary port must be configured properly before using it to send or receive binary data. The port may be used in
static or dynamic port scenarios:
 Static binary port scenario – A specific binary port controls one specific external device (e.g. one RC
button opens a projector; another RC button closes it using the same serial binary port). The port is
configured only once at installation and the value is stored in the non-volatile memory of the PL-18.
Thereafter, when the RC button is pressed it only invokes the configured BIN commands on the PL-18.
 Dynamic binary port scenario – A specific binary port controls various external devices (e.g. one RC
button opens a TV, another RC button opens a DVD, and both use the same IR binary port with a dual IR
emitter cable). The binary port must be reconfigured before issuing the BIN command to a different
device. At each RC button press, a CBIN command is sent to the PL-18 before sending a BIN command.
Configure UART (RS-232) port 1, with “9600,8,n,1” serial port configuration parameters:
Binary port configuration examples:
#cbin uart, 1, 9600, 8, n, 1
or
#uart-cfg 1, 9600, 8, n, 1
Configure IR port 2, with “38000,33” as infrared configuration parameters:
#cbin ir, 2, 38000, 33
or
#ir-cfg 2, 38000, 33
1 As opposed to any other P3000 command, CR cannot be added after the END_TOKEN
