ACS 16.2 Installation and Operation Manual
OPERATION
Serial Control
The unit is controlled in either Menu or Burst mode. It can run at the fol-
lowing data rates: 9600 Default or 38.4K baud. The ACS 16.2’s serial communica-
tion is supplied with a multi-drop RS-232 port, allowing a maximum of four ACS
16.2’s on a single PC’s COM port. Commands may be entered either via a menu
(menu mode) or a short form code (ASCII serial string-burst mode). All commands
and responses use normal ASCII characters, facilitating scripting. A burst mode
command starts with an asterisk (*) followed by the device (ID) address as a single
decimal digit, then the command.
To control or configure the ACS 16.2 using your PC load a serial terminal
application like HyperTerminal or Tera Term and configure the COM port for a pro-
tocol of baud: 9600, parity: none, data bits: 8, stop bits: 1, flow control: none, emu-
lation: ANSI. HyperTerminal set up instructions are available on our web site under
“Downloads”.
The command to enter menu mode is: *0MM. The menu mode displays cer-
tain parameters, and allows for the control and/or configuration of most switcher
functions.
