Configuration for use with RGB Spectrum QVHD
Serial control of a QuadView HD (QVHD) requires the use of a low cost Serial Server. BLACK
BOX offers the LES290A Serial Device Server to enable serial control of the QuadView HD over
Ethernet. The connection may be over an IP network or by direct connection, via a Cat 5
Crossover
Cable. The
number for a link to the product. For information regarding cables and adapters, go to the end of
this guide.
The LES290A Serial Server sends and receives RS232 serial communications with the QVHD over
an Ethernet connection. The QVHD sees this communication as a Telnet session. The user sees
this communication as a standard RS232 serial port. The Serial Server creates and maintains the
Telnet session without any actions from the user beyond a one-time initial configuration.
Take these easy steps to set-up the Serial Server.
1. Gathering IP parameter information
To perform the initial configuration, you will need to know the IP parameters of the QVHD
IP Address
IP Gateway
IP Subnet
The factory default values are:
192.168.1.200
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.1
If the Ethernet connection between the LES290A Serial Server and the QVHD incorporates a
network, you will need to set the QVHD and Serial Server IP parameters to be compatible with the
rest of the network. Check with your Network Administrator for these assignments.
Note: RGB recommends that the Device Server be given a "Fixed IP Address".
2. Configuring the Serial Server
Before making the final network or direct connection between the LES290A Serial Server and the
QVHD, you will first need to use an Ethernet connection via a crossover cable to configure the
Serial Server.
It is recommended that you use a stand-alone computer, unconnected to a network and use a
crossover Ethernet cable between the LES290A Serial Server and the PC.
BLACK BOX provides, on CD, a graphical interface for configuration, DeviceInstaller, which runs
under Windows 2000, XP or Vista.
