Dx46 and DSP 600
The following chapters are valid for Dx46 and DSP 600.
ASCII Control Protocol
The ASCII Control Protocol allows controlling and polling all parameters. It can be used as interface for the connection
of media control systems or facility management systems. Communication is performed via USB port or Ethernet port
(telnet) using an easy to implement ASCII protocol which allows easy integration of the device in media and/or touch
panel applications. For programming notes and a complete description of the protocol please refer to the following
chapters.
RS-232 SETTINGS
When connecting the Dx46/DSP 600 to the PC via USB, the RS-232 interface of the device appears as a virtual port in
the operating system. The virtual port is preconfigured for full duplex operation. Set values are:
Parameter
Setting
Baud Rate
19200 bits per second
Data Bits
8
Parity
None
Stop Bits
1
Flow Control
Xon / Xoff
The command string "*** Dx46 command mode entered ***" or "*** DSP 600 command mode entered ***" is sent to RS-
232 once the device is powered up and has completed its boot sequence. The RS-232 interface is now ready for
communication.
ETHERNET SETTINGS
Factory set values of the Ethernet port are:
Parameter
Setting
IP address
192.168.1.100
Network mask
255.255.255.0
Standard gateway
192.168.1.1
Telnet port
21
A Telnet session can be established with an application such as Windows HyperTerminal. The command string "***
Dx46 command mode entered ***" or "*** DSP 600 command mode entered ***" will be displayed when the ASCII
Control Protocol has started successfully. The device is now ready for ASCII Control Protocol communication.
ASCII CONTROL PROTOCOL
A simple ASCII string protocol, which is referred to as ASCII Control Protocol is implemented in the device. Commands
are organized in a tree structure with up to 4 levels. The slash "/" or a space " " can be used for separation. The
question mark "?" can be utilized to query parameter settings or commands of the corresponding level. To step down
one level you have to enter "..". Use "/" to get back to level 1.
