External Control                                    NEC LCD Monitor

 

1. Application

 

 

This document defines the communications method for control of the NEC LCD monitor, MultiSync X461UN 

when using an external controller

.

 

 

2. Connectors and wiring 

2.1 RS-232C Remote control 

 

Connector: 9-pin D-Sub 

 Cable: Cross (reversed) cable or null modem cable 

 

(Please refer 

Controlling the LCD monitor via RS-232C Remote control

 on User

s manual.) 

 

2.2 LAN control 

 

Connector: RJ-45 10/100 BASE-T 

 Cable: Category 5 or higher LAN cable 

 

(Please refer 

Controlling the LCD monitor via LAN control

 on User

s manual.) 

 

3. Communication Parameter

 

3.1 RS-232C Remote control 

(1) Communication system 

Asynchronous 

(2) Interface   

 

RS-232C 

(3) Baud rate   

 

9600bps 

(4) Data length 

 

8bits 

(5) Parity 

 

 

None 

(6) Stop bit 

 

 

1 bit 

(7) Communication code   

ASCII 

 

3.2 LAN control 

(1) Communication system 

TCP/IP (Internet protocol suite)  

(2) Interface   

 

Ethernet (CSMA/CD) 

(3) Communication layer  

Transport layer (TCP)  

 

 

 

 

* Using the payload of TCP segment. 

(4) IP address  

 

(Default) 192.168.0.10 

 

 

 

 

* If you need to change, 

 

 

 

 

Please refer 

Network settings

 on User

s manual. 

(5) Port No. 

 

 

7142 (Fixed) 

 

3.3 Communication timing 

The controller should wait for a packet interval before next command is sent. 
The packet interval needs to be longer than 600msec for the LCD monitor.
