Introduction to InView Connectivity 1-5
Serial RS-485 Communications
PC based RS-485 serial networks. For multi-drop connection to an
InView display, an AIC+ (RS-232 to RS-485 converter) or a 2706-P9
type InView display can be used off the PC comm port. This allows
individual control of multiple displays on a single network up to
1219 m (4000 ft).

IMPORTANT
The Ethernet communications modules should be
configured serially before mounting to the InView
display or hanging/mounting the display in a high or
remote location. Communication modules require an
initial setup to establish node or IP address before
being able to function on a network. The serial
configuration requires a 2706-NC13 cable and the
InView message software.
