Serial Interface
The serial interface option supports full-duplex transmission with a real hardware handshake up to a Baud rate
of 115,200 Baud. The Receiver is wired as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment, like CPU output) and can be
connected directly to DCE devices (Data Communication Equipment).
Serial touch screens can be connected directly to the Receiver unit.
To connect to a serial printer (or other DTE device), you need a null modem cable (crossed cable)
between the Receiver Unit and the device.
Operation of several devices:
The serial interface transmits 6 signals (3 for each direction). Normally, 4 of the 6 signals are handshake
signals (in addition to RxD and TxD). The following configurations, however, can be realized using special
adapter splitting cables:
three single 2-wire transmissions
two transmissions with a handshake signal
a serial mouse and a single 2-wire transmission
In this case, choose XON / XOFF software handshake for traffic control at printer and PC
.

RS422 Serial Interface
Orion Xtenders with a RS422 serial interface (D-Sub 9) support a differential full duplex transmission up to a
Baud rate of 115,200 Baud. The Transmitter is designed as controlling device, and so can be connected
directly to video or media servers. The Receiver is designed as a controlled device, and so can be connected
directly to remote controllers.
