Planar UltraLux Series Installation Guide

RS232 Communication

RS232 control is not necessary for operation, but is a convenient way to control 
displays from a computer at a distance. If your installation will not use RS232 control, 
skip this section. Most things you can do with the remote, you can do with RS232 
commands. Plus, you can send inquiries to the displays and find out the current 
settings and values. RS232 connections are made with standard straight-through 
cables.

Connecting the RS232 Cable

The RS232 cable will connect either to a PC or a media player, depending on your 
setup.
