  • Page 13: Remote Control

    3.1 Serial Communications RS232 / RS485 The TLTR3100 unit is capable of being controlled remotely using the P7xxx protocol format as described in section 3.2, through the RS232 / 485 connection, the baudrate of which is variable and is setup via one of the remote control interfaces.

  • Page 14: P7Xxx Protocol

    Installation and Operating Handbook 3.2 P7xxx Protocol The TLTR3100 transmits and receives data serially in an asynchronous format using the ASCII character set (includes the extended ASCII set). The serial data consists of message frames composed of the following message characters: STX, number of bytes, unit address, instruction number, message body, checksum, ETX.

  • Page 15: Attenuator

    3.2.1 Attenuator This group of remote messages allow the user to monitor and control the channel attenuator of the TLTR3100 unit. In order for the unit to accept changes made via the remote control it must be placed in remote mode.

  • Page 22: Serial Communications Settings

    3.2.3 Serial Communications Settings Due to the lack of a front panel on the TLTR3100 series of converters it is possible to change their address, baudrate and whether they use RS232 or RS485 communications via a serial message. The TLTR3100 will change its serial configuration only if all the settings are valid in the message.

    Checksum 3.3 Ethernet If the TLTR3100 unit has been fitted with the Ethernet option the unit can be controlled via its in built web server, TCP or SNMP. Due to a lack of front panel on these units, it is not possible to display the IP address and other Ethernet settings to the user easily.

  • Page 32: Webserver

    3.3.2 TCP The TLTR3100 unit can be controlled via TCP, this involves sending the normal RS232 / 485 commands to the unit through a TCP port. The TCP port to be used is set by the user via one of the remote control interfaces.
