RS232 Data Configuration

23.35
The codec supports both in-band and out-of-band data depending on the connection transport and
algorithm you are using. In-band RPTP data is automatically included within an audio stream when
using Tieline Music and Music PLUS algorithms over IP and ISDN. Over IP it is also possible to
enable synchronized out-of-band data in separate packets using any algorithm.

Select Enable Auxiliary Data when creating a program in the Program Manager panel or
Connections panel to enable out-of-band RS232 data and activate rules employing relay reflection
over a connection. This will allow the codec to connect to external devices and send RS232-
compatible data via the serial port on the rear panel. Alternatively, enable auxiliary data using the
Setup menu (see
Setting RS232 Data Rates and Flow Control
1. Open the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI and click Settings in the Menu Bar, then click Options
to display the Options panel.
2. Select RS232, then click Edit and use the Baud rate drop-down menu arrow to select the
serial port baud rate. Ensure this matches the baud rate of the external device connected to
the RS232 port on the codec.
3. Click to select the Enable flow control check box and enable flow control, then click Save
to store the new settings.
Important Notes:
· When connecting to G3 codecs only in-band data is available via the Music and
MusicPLUS algorithms.
· Use firmware higher than 2.8.xx in the Bridge-IT, Genie and Merlin families of codecs to
enable auxiliary data over multicast connections.
· It is important to enable serial port flow control as it regulates the flow of data through the
serial port. If disabled, data will flow unregulated and some may be lost.
