Serial Communications; Rs-232 Connection And Port Configuration; Serial Command Syntax - Runco RS-900 Owner's Operating Manual

To interface the RS-900 with a home theater automation/control system or a PC running
terminal emulation software:
1. Connect it to your control system or PC as shown in Figure 3-14.
2. Start a terminal session on your PC using a terminal-emulation program, such as
HyperTerminal.
3. Configure the RS-232 controller or PC serial port as follows: no parity, 8 data bits, 1
stop bit and no flow control. Set the baud rate to 19200.
4. Type a command from among those listed in Table 6-1. For example, to select the
Component 1 input, type X133X.
Serial commands to the RS-900 take the following form:
• Commands are in ASCII format.
• Commands must be in UPPERCASE; for example, X001X, not x001x.
• When you enter a valid command, the RS-900 executes it and echoes the command
back to the PC or control system. For example, when you send the command X001X,
the RS-900 responds with X0_001X<CR>.
• When you enter an invalid command, the RS-900 simply ignores it.
The RS-900 will not accept serial commands for 20 seconds after it
Note
is turned on or off.
