Serial Input
Sets the action that occurs when a BrightSign player receives specific input from a device

Enter the port number of the input data in the
Specify port field (this parameter is set to 0
by default). Set the serial string that triggers the next event in the Specify serial input
field. You can use the <*> wildcard to allow partial string matches: For example, a serial
