FDX-S Series Command Guide 1 About this Guide This guide contains the procedure for controlling the FDX-S using commands via RS-232C communication or LAN communication. 2 Communication configuration and Specifications 2.1 RS-232C communication 2.1.1 RS-232C connector specification Insert and secure the wires from the RS-232C cable into the supplied 3-pin captive screw connector, and then insert the captive screw connector into the mating connector on the FDX-S.
FDX-S Series Command Guide 2.1.3 Setting up RS-232C communication (1) Connect the FDX-S and the control device via an RS-232C cable. (2) Set the RS-232C communication. 【Reference: User Guide】 (3) For the control device, set the same values in the same way as RS-232C communication (baud rate, data bit length, parity check, and stop bit) in step (2) above.
FDX-S Series Command Guide 2.1.4 RS-232C transmission mode Since the FDX-S supports RS-232C transmission over HDBaseT I/O boards, devices (camera and projector in the following example) that are connected to HDC series products can be controlled via RS-232C. External control...

FDX-S Series Command Guide 2.2 LAN communication 2.2.1 LAN connector specification Pin assignment of the LAN connector is as follows. Since Auto MDI/MDI-X that distinguishes and switches straight/cross cables automatically is supported, extra care is not necessary to connect the FDX-S to PC, HUB or the like.
FDX-S Series Command Guide 2.2.3 Setting up LAN communication (1) Connect the FDX-S and the control device via a LAN cable. (2) Set up LAN communication as follows: ・ Set IP address and subnet mask ・ TCP pot number: 1100, 6000 to 6999 【Reference: User guide】...
FDX-S Series Command Guide 2.2.4 The number of TCP-IP connections The FDX-S supports up to eight simultaneous TCP-IP connections (eight logical ports). To maintain optimal system accessibility, it is advisable to issue “port-open” and “port-close” commands before and after command or query strings are issued. This approach enables eight or more control devices to be effectively interfaced simultaneously and without concern for communication errors.
FDX-S Series Command Guide 2.3 Unsolicited status notification The FDX-S can notify status changes and problems in a system through RS-232C or LAN communication. Unsolicited status notification: (1) The unsolicited status notification feature is enabled using @SPH command. (2) The control device periodically sends @GIV command (30 seconds or shorter) to keep the connection.
