Serial
The RS20i can be configured to allow an external device to send an RS232 command to the
RS20i, which, when receiving the specified serial command, will then execute any
predefined action or macro.
o
The baud rate and number of stop bits must be set in the Automation Serial page to
match the settings used by the external RS232 device.
o
The RS232 device must be connected to the Control port on the back of the RS20i.
In the example below a serial command named “
START
” is created to switch the RS20i to
the HDMI 1 input.

Enter the serial command that will trigger the action. The maximum size of the serial
command is 36 characters.
Option 1
: Select the text box and the keyboard screen will appear. Type in the serial
command.
Option 2
: Select the
Capture
button to automatically capture a command received from
the serial port. This assumes that there is an external serial control device connected that
can be manually triggered to send a single command.
Press the green
StopCap
button to complete the capture of the serial command. All serial
data that has been received between
Capture
and
Stop Cap
will be displayed in the text bar.
If more than the maximum characters have been received, then the data is truncated.
Note
: Non-ASCII characters may be entered by a back slash (\) followed by their hex
value. For example, a CR character is 0D hex and can be included in the string as “\0d”.
Touch OK when finished, or touch Cancel to cancel this task.
Fire Event
A Fire event will shut down the RS20i audio and display a popup on the home screen that
says “Fire!”. The RS20i audio and menus are disabled until the unit is reset from the back
power button.
