5.4.3. Changing the working mode
Turn the BAUD RATE rotary switch to address #8, and press and hold the LEARN button
for approximately 3 seconds. (The addresses of EDID MEMORY rotary switches can be
anything.)
The current status can be seen on the rear panel LED tower. If the working mode is
PASS-THROUGH the RS-232 LED is off. If the working mode is CONTROL the RS-232
LED lights continuously.
Changing the working mode can be done by protocol command (section
10.4.5
on
page
74
) or the Lightware Matrix Controller software (section
9.3.2
on page
57
), as well.
Info:
UMX-OPT-TX150R stores the RS-232 working mode and starts the saved one after
reboot.
The RS-232 settings
– baud rate is included – are valid for the CONTROL and the
PASS-THROUGH mode, as well.
For example if the BAUD RATE was changed from 57600 to 9600 in CONTROL mode
the device sends commands only with 9600 BAUD RATE in PASS-THROUGH mode, as
well.
5.4.4. Speed of the serial communication
UMX-OPT-TX150R uses some of the standard timings for the RS-232 control and
pass-through mode. To work the bidirectional serial communication well between serial
ending devices users must choose the proper baud rate on the transmitter units. Please
read the serial devices’ user’s manual to find the appropriate baud rates. The best one is
both devices’ most common value.
If the communication speed ability of a serial device is unknown use the lowest (#1: 9600)
value.
Lightware Matrix Controller software works with 9600 or 57600 baud. The BAUD RATE
rotary must be #0, #1 or #4. In case of #0 the controller software gives the baud rate to
the device.
