Data Port - TANDBERG 8000 MXP User Manual

Data Port

The system provides up to two standard RS232 serial ports to allow a computer to be connected
for data transfer and control purposes. Note that when connecting to a PC the connecting cable
must be a straight through RS232 cable.
Baud Rate, Parity, Data bits and Stop bits
If you wish to connect a PC to Data port 1, you must ensure that the PC and the system are
identically configured. The available settings are:
Baud Rate 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200
Parity None, Odd, Even
Data bits 7, 8
Stop bits 1, 2
The control interface provided by the data port supports a subset of the Hayes command set as
well as a comprehensive set of system specific commands. It maintains communication with the
data port's command interpreter at all times. All features available from the hand-held remote
control can be accessed through the data port.
Data Port 2
Data port 2 is dedicated to the main camera and will not be available in standard configuration.
The Data Port 2 menu contains the same items as the Data Port 1 menu; Baud rate, Parity, Data
bits, Stop bits except for the Mode, which has VISCA and Auto selections Mode.
The system will automatically detect Precision HD Cameras and WAVE cameras. At least one of
the cameras must be connected to the data port. If you are using a camera supporting the VISCA
protocol, select Mode: VISCA.
If Mode is Auto and no camera is connected to the Data port 2, the Baud rate, Parity, Data bits
and Stop bits settings will be enabled.
