ID-AL ChronoPlayer - User Guide V1.0
9.1 Assign a Device Number - #ID:xxx
It is possible to have several ChronoPlayers in the same installation communicating amongst themselves
and with a main device through the RS-232 serial link. In order to do this, a number has to be assigned to
each ChronoPlayer among 127 possible IDs, meaning that 127 ChronoPlayers can be used at the same time
(see the chapter RS-232 Serial Link Protocol).

Parameter Definition
Effect of the Defined Parameter
#ID:023
Assign number 23 to the player.
If the line is missing, the factory setting value by default 001 is used, designating the player 001.
000 is a special case and cannot be used in the configuration file. When the code 000 is sent through the
serial link, it means that all the players execute the command sent, whatever the number identifying the
player.
9.2 Volume Setting - #VOLUME:xx
It is possible to define the volume to be used on startup. This volume can then be changed with the front
knob, with an RS-232 command, or with the infrared remote control.
The volume setting goes from 00 to 64, in 64 steps.
00 is the minimum volume (mute), and 64 is the maximum.

9.3 Configuration of the Baud Rate of the RS-232 Serial Link -
#BAUDRATE:xxxxx
By default, the RS-232 serial link is at 19200 bauds in both directions. With this option, this value can be
modified.

Note:
Several players can have the same number. All the players with the same number execute the same
commands sent through the RS-232 link.
