ICE-HE-DXL Display Control Center Product Manual 042021 

 

Setup Notes 

 

Interfacing with a Control System 

The unit may receive iCC-Net command strings from a Display Express server PC or a third-party control processor.  The command strings  
may be received at the following interfaces. 

 

TCP at port 2728 

 

RS-232 via the DB-9 port 

 

RS-232 via either USB virtual com port 

 
Only one TCP socket is supported.  The buffered data bus allows for commands to be received concurrently from any of the interfaces.  
 

Display Express Lite

 

The ICE-HE-DXL includes an embedded web server that hosts the Display Express Lite web page.  Display Express Lite supports basic control 
of power, volume, and channel selection for any combination of up to 128 display controllers, tuner/controllers, or IPTV 
decoder/controllers.  The web page may be accessed from the web browser of a connected device either wired or through a Wi-Fi access 
point. 
 

IP Network Settings 

The IP Address, Default Gateway, and Subnet Mask may be set in the front panel Network menu or via RS-232 command.  The current IP 
address may be displayed on the front panel by holding the Setup button.  The default IP address is 192.168.1.251.  Changes to any of 
network settings require a power cycle or reboot. 
 

RS-232 

The DB-9 RS-232 port may be used for control, configuration, and firmware updates.  The baud rate settings apply to the DB-9 RS-232 port 
and the rear panel USB virtual com port.  Baud Rate settings are available in the front panel System menu or may be changed via RS-232 or 
telnet serial command.  The default baud rate is 19,200.  Changes to the baud rate setting is instantaneous and no power cycle or reboot is 
required. 
 

USB Virtual Com Ports 

The front and rear panel USB virtual com ports may be used for control, configuration, and firmware updates.  Windows 10 will 
automatically load the appropriate driver.  The baud rate setting applies to the rear panel USB port.  The baud rate for the front panel USB 
port is fixed at 115.2K.

 

 

UDP Control 

The iCC-Net commands that are transmitted via the RF output may be duplicated and transmitted as UDP directed broadcast data packets 
for control of QIP-D and QIP-DVX IPTV decoder/controllers and 232-ATSC 4i and ATSC-SDI 4i HDTV tuners.  This function may be enabled or 
disabled in the front panel menu or via RS-232 command.  It is enabled by default.

 

 

I/O Port 

Inputs may accept a 0-24 VDC control voltage or contact closure to ground.  A closed contact closure creates a logical low, an open contact 
closure creates a logical high. 
 
Outputs are open collector and may require a pull-up resistor; 28 VDC max, 200 mA max. A logic level high turns on the transistor and 
creates a current path to ground.
