ViewStation EX, ViewStation FX, and VS4000 API Guide
The following provides additional information about the ViewStation
EX, ViewStation FX, and VS4000 systems' RS-232 interface.
The RS-232 user interface screen is used to set the baud rate and
the modes for the serial port on the back of the system.
To access the RS-232 screen on your system, select System
Info>Admin Setup>Software/Hardware>
RS-232.
On the RS-232 screen, you can configure the Baud Rate, the
RS-232 Mode and the Flow Control options.
The following baud rates are supported by the RS-232 port on the
ViewStation EX, ViewStation FX, and the VS4000 system:
•
1200
•
2400
•
9600
•
14400
•
19200
•
38400
•
57600
•
115200
The RS-232 port on the ViewStation EX, ViewStation FX, and the
VS4000 system supports two modes: Control and Pass-Thru.
In Control Mode, a device (for example, a PC) connected to the
RS-232 port can control the system using the Remote Control API.
In Pass-Thru Mode, the operational modes of both endpoints'
RS-232 ports depend on the port configuration of each endpoint.
Thus, two operational situations might arise:
