he ScanCard II assembly is equipped
with a RS 232 (Serial) Input. When a
computer’s Serial Port is hooked to the Scan
Card II through the RS 232 input, the com-
puter can control the various functions of the
television. (Refer to SmarkLink specifications
available under DNA.)
It is always a good idea to remove the TV’s,
and the computer’s, AC power cords from the
wall socket before beginning the connections.
The RS 232 (Serial) Input accepts signals from
VGA and MAC compatible computers that have
external Serial Ports.
For PC/MACs with Serial Ports: Plug a
Serial cable into the RS 232 (Serial) Input termi-
nal on the back of a commercial TV equipped
with the ScanCard II. Then attach the other end of
the Serial cable to the Serial Output Port on the
back of the computer. (Secure the plugs by tight-
ening the thumb screws.)
Reattach the AC Power cords to the wall sock-
ets before powering on the units.
