▪
TCP KA
(keep alive): OFF, 1min, 5min, 10min, 15min or 30min.
▪
TCP Port
: enter the port number (5100, by default).
▪
UDP Port
: enter the port number (51000, by default).
▪
Data Channel
: select 0 or 4 (0 by default).
By default, the data channel is set to 0 for Step-in and data routing.
Note that if the Data Channel for an HDBT port is set to 0, in some cases,
RS-232 data may not pass from the connected device to the HDBT port. To
allow data to be sent, you need to set Data Channel to 4.
For example, when connecting the Kramer
TP-580Txr
to an HDBT port on the
VP-554X
, you need to set the Data Channel to 4 to pass RS-232 data through
that HDBT port.
Setting up for RS-232 External Device Control
You can set
VP-554X
to automatically send RS-232 commands to a device (for example, to
turn off a projector when no video signal is detected on the
VP-554X
input) via the RS-232
EXT. CONTROL port
on the
VP-554X
rear panel.
To configure and send RS-232 commands to an external device:
1. In the Navigation pane, click
RS-232
. The RS-232 page appears.

– Controlling an External Device
2. Under RS-232 Configuration, set the external device RS-232 port parameters to enable
communication with the acceptor (Baud rate, data bits, parity and stop bits).
