  • Page 6: Communicating With Boxer 30

    Communicating with Boxer 30 Understand the information and procedures for communicating with Boxer 30 from a remote location. You can communicate with the projector through the RS232 IN port or the Ethernet port. When connecting the projector to a computer, use a direct connection. Docking ports can cause software upgrade failures.

  • Page 7: Connection And Use

    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 30, you can remotely access controls and image setups, issue commands or queries, and receive replies.

    (+) character to separate the code and subcode. If there is no subcode, the plus sign (+) is also omitted. In messages sent to Boxer 30 that have a subcode, a space between the subcode and the first parameter (or special character) is optional.

  • Page 12: What Is Sent In A Message

    The acknowledgment is returned after the message has been received and fully executed by Boxer 30 (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 13: Error Messages

    = F0h when only the low byte is used = 240 Boxer 30 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 14: Flow Control

    Normally messages can be sent to the projector before processing of earlier messages is complete— Boxer 30 stores messages in a buffer until ready to process. However, if a series of messages is sent, Boxer 30 may not be able to process them as fast as they arrive and the buffer becomes full.

  • Page 15: Serial Api Commands

    Serial API commands The Boxer 30 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.
