Rs232 - RME Audio ADI-6432R BNC User Manual

12.4 RS232

Many devices in the professional range of PA and live sound solutions can be remote controlled
using serial communication. The most common standard for those is RS232, the interface
known from any computer (COM port). Small and cost-efficient converters between RS232 and
newer formats, like RS422 or RS485, are widely spread and therefore easily available.
As already described in the chapter about the technology to transmit MIDI via MADI the ADI-
6432 also transmits serial data via user bits, in this case on channels 1 to 9. Supported are the
Baud rates 9600, 19200, 38400 and 115200. The configuration is done via MIDI, either by
sending the according SysEx string, or more comfortably via the Windows software MIDI Re-
mote. The specific setting is stored in the unit and doesn't change on reboot.
SysEx Strings
9600 Bd
19200 Bd

Note: In case the transmission of serial data seems not to work the device might be configured
for AES Transparent mode, see chapter 10.2.
