· Ensure you configure the serial port baud rate to match the setting of the external device
to which you are connecting. Ideally the settings on both codecs should match, or there
may be data overflow issues.
· Only the dialing codec needs to be configured to send RS232 data. Session data sent
from the dialing codec will configure all other compatible codecs (non-G3) when you
connect.
· RS232 data can be sent from the dialing codec to all endpoints of a multi-unicast or
multicast connection if a codec is capable of these connections. Note: Bidirectional
RS232 data is only available on the first connection dialed when multi-unicasting.

Codec 'rules' configure events based on specific codec actions. A range of default rules are
preprogrammed into the codec to facilitate activation of the most common events required by
broadcast engineers. Typically rules are based on a change in the state of a physical
CONTROL
PORT GPIO , or a logic IO, or a codec program being connected or disconnected. The Gateway 4
codec has 8 hardware GPIOs and 56 logical outputs, and the Gateway 8/16 has 16 hardware
GPIOs and 48 logical outputs; both codecs also have 3 virtual inputs, and 64 WheatNet Logic
Inputs/Outputs. WheatNet logic I/Os allow Tieline WheatNet-IP enabled codecs to activate
functions across a WheatNet-IP network.
