  • Page 5: Communicating With Boxer 4K

    Once you have connected your computer to either the RS232 IN port (depending on which standard is supported by your computer) or to the Ethernet port on Boxer 4K, you can remotely access controls and image setups, issue commands or queries, and receive replies.

  • Page 6: Setting Up The Ethernet

    Ethernet is setup to obtain an IP address automatically if a DHCP server is on the network. To modify IP settings, or manually enter an address. Christie recommends using the Ethernet port on the IMXB as the HDBaseT port is limited to 100 Mb/s. You cannot change the IP settings using the web interface.

  • Page 7: Basic Message Structure

    (+) character to separate the code and subcode. If there is no subcode, the plus sign (+) is also omitted. In messages sent to Boxer 4K that have a subcode, a space between the subcode and the first parameter (or special character) is optional.

  • Page 8: Special Characters For Text

    Data The value for a given Boxer 4K state, such as on or off, appears in ASCII-decimal format directly after the request/reply symbol. You can add an optional space after the symbol—such as before the data—in a set message, but data in replies follow the...

  • Page 10: What Is Sent In A Message

    The acknowledgment is returned after the message has been received and fully executed by Boxer 4K (such as in the case of a source switch it is not sent until the switch is complete). If the message cannot be executed for some reason (such as invalid parameters, time-out, and so on) a NAK is returned instead (not-acknowledge).

  • Page 11: Error Messages

    = F0h when only the low byte is used = 240 Boxer 4K collects all of the message bytes as defined in the first byte of the message, then creates its own checksum value for comparison with the checksum included in the controller’s message.

  • Page 12: Flow Control

    Normally messages can be sent to the projector before processing of earlier messages is complete— Boxer 4K stores messages in a buffer until ready to process. However, if a series of messages is sent, Boxer 4K may not be able to process them as fast as they arrive and the buffer becomes full.

  • Page 13: Serial Api Commands

    Serial API commands The Boxer 4K commands can be used to modify product settings. ADR–Projector Address Sets or queries the device address. This command also helps to identify where a response or asynchronous message originates from. Generally, this command is used for projectors that are daisy-chained together using the RS232 style communication.
