Ethernet LAN Port
The Ethernet LAN port is a 100 Base-T connection to
any router, switch, or directly to a computer. The HXL-
88Plus features a web interface, called ZigNet.
Hardware configuration, EDID management, and
advanced diagnostics can all be accessed through
ZigNet. Use the Menu to display the IP Address of the
LAN port then use any web browser to access ZigNet.
Note: Refer to the HXL-88Plus User Manual for a
complete explanation of ZigNet.
RS-232 Connection
An RS-232 connection is typically connected to a 3
rd
party control system to configure the HXL-88Plus. The
default settings are:
Baud Rate: 115,200
Data Bits: 8 | Stop Bits: 1
Parity: None
Flow Control: None
Note: Refer to the HXL-88Plus User Manual for a
description of the RS-232 control protocol.
Power

connected before applying power to the HXL-88Plus.
