6. External Control In addition to using the display keypad or remote control unit, you can control the display using a serial (RS232) link to send Hexadecimal commands and receive responses to those commands. (ASCII is not accepted/used) You also use discrete infrared (IR) control codes to program a third-party remote control unit. For more information, refer to Using Discrete IR Codes on page 57.
Command and Response Examples Here are some examples of Hexadecimal serial commands and their responses: Table 6-1.

Using Discrete IR Codes The display accepts commands in the form of infrared (IR) signals that conform to the NEC protocol. Each display remote control button has an IR control code associated with it. You can use these codes to program a third-party, “universal” remote control unit to work with the display. These third-party products usually come with a computer software application for this purp ose.

TCP Mode Telnet Server/Client Set the device to be a Telnet Server or Client. Port Number When in Server mode, assign the port number used to connect remotely. When in Client mode, assign the port number for the device to connect to the remote site. Remote Server IP Address When in Client mode, the device will connect to the remote server with the IP addres s set here.
UDP Mode Status When TCP mode is set as Server mode or Client mode, the UDP mode would be disabled automatically, and vice versa. Local Port Assign the port number here to allow the device to open for the remote site to send data via UDP. The IP address of the remote site must be set in the Remote Address table, or NET2UART will ignore its data.
UART Mode Select the UART interface. Baud rate Select the baud rate of UART interface. Character Bits Select the number of character bits of UART interface. Parity Type Select the parity type of UART interface. Stop Bit Select the stop bit type of UART interface. Hardware Flow Control Select the flow control type of UART interface.
Delimiter Character 1 & 2: Set Character 1 and/or Character 2 to be the delimiter. Once the delimiter is active, NET2UART would monitor all data received from UART. All d ata received from UART will be stored in NET2UART internal buffer first, and will only be sent to Ethernet once the delimiter is detected.
