Control Front buttons RS-232 Control options IP interface 100 Mbps Baud rate: 9600 Data bits: 8 RS232 interface Stop bits: 1 Parity: None Flow control: None Certifications The device does not decrypt BD/DVD movies, satellite/cable receivers or other HDCP compliant encrypted sources.
Pin 2: GND Pin 3: Transmit Pin 4: 5V supply (for INOGENI Remote) Typically, commands will return ACK in case of success and NACK in case of failure. Note that if serial interface was disabled using REST API, commands will not be parsed, and no response will be provided.
1 => automatic switching INOGENI REMOTE The INOGENI Remote needs to be connected to the terminal block port in order to operate. Apply wiring accordingly. This remote is sending serial commands to the device. Make sure to set the DIP SW6 below the device to ON in order to apply power to the remote before going further.
LAN COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL You can access the device settings through its LAN interface. The LAN interface use DHCP and static IP addressing. You can obtain the IP from the Inogeni Control App or from the serial port IP command. CDC-NCM COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL The device can also be controlled through CDC-NCM interface exposed on the USB2.0 device port.
WEBPAGE Here is the webpage that can be used to configure and upgrade the device. The username is “admin”, and the default password is “admin”. The STATUS page will give you information about the firmware installed. video and audio devices that you can monitor.

The DOCUMENTATION tab will allow you : Get to the present user guide Go to product webpage Figure 8: Documentation preview The first time you access the webpage, your web browser is likely to complain that the connection is insecure. The reason for this is because we are using self-signed HTTPS certificate, because certificate providers will not provide certificates for address that are not globally accessible.
REST API The REST API need to have Autorization: Bearer <REST API access token> in the HTTP header. The response will be JSON formatted with a “message” field containing a JSON string explaining the cause of the error if any. Note that we are using self-signed certificate.
