External Control; Serial Or Tcp/Ip Communications; Connection And Port Configuration; Using Telnet - Runco LightStyle LS-10d Installation & Operation Manual

In addition to using the DHD Controller front-panel keypad or remote control unit, there
are three methods of controlling the LS-10 and DHD Controller externally:
• Using a serial (RS-232) or TCP/IP (Ethernet) link to send ASCII commands and receive
responses to those commands.
• Using discrete infrared (IR) codes to program a third-party remote control unit.
• Using an HDMI connection to send Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) commands
from a BD player or other source component that supports CEC.
The following sections describe these methods.
The DHD Controller uses a simple text-based control protocol to take requests from
control devices and to provide responses to such devices. This section describes how to
send control messages over a serial or TCP/IP link between the DHD Controller and an
automation/control system or a PC running a terminal emulation or Telnet client program.
The serial communication protocol described here replaces the
Note
serial protocol used by legacy Runco products (manufactured prior
to September 2011) that include the DHD Controller.
Runco recommends using this new protocol, as it is more concise
and provides greater control than the old one. However, to maintain
backward compatibility with existing automation/control system
modules, the legacy Runco serial protocol is also supported.
To interface the LS-10 with an automation/control system or a PC running terminal
emulation software:
1. Connect the projector to the DHD Controller as shown in Figure 3-7.
2. Connect your control system or PC to the RS-232 input of the DHD Controller as
shown in Figure 3-13.
3. If you are using a PC, start a terminal session using a terminal-emulation program, such
as HyperTerminal.
4. Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: 19200 bps, no parity, 8
data bits, 1 stop bit and no flow control.
To interface the LS-10 with a personal computer running a Telnet client:
1. Connect the projector to the DHD Controller as shown in Figure 3-7.
2. Connect the Ethernet port of the DHD Controller to your network router, hub or
gateway as shown in Figure 3-17.
3. Set the DHD Controller IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway so that the DHD
Controller and PC are on the same subnet (refer to IP Configuration on page 70).
4. From the PC, start a Telnet session using the IP address you configured in Step 3.
