CONTROLLING VIO 4K™
2.1
Introduction
VIO 4K™ products are usually controlled by the user friendly Web RCS or by the VERTIGE high-end remote
controller, but a programming interface is also provided for automation applications.
A good practice is to setup the machine with the Web RCS and then control it with a few basic commands
like “preset recalling” and “layer input change”.
2.2
Physical interfaces
VIO 4K™ can be controlled through its rear Ethernet RJ45 plug:
labeled “ETHERNET”
10/100Mbps compatible
auto-MDIX (which avoid need of crossover cable to connect it directly to a computer)
VIO 4K™ can be controlled through its rear RS232 DB9 plug:
labeled “RS232”
1200Bds up to 115200 Bauds
3 wires straight cable, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity bit, no flow.
Warning: Enable RS232 may slow down device operations especially if a low baud rate is selected.
2.3
Protocol
Supported protocol is TCP/IP, parameters can be set up with front panel or Web RCS configuration
menus.
Default values are:
Protocol:
TCP
DHCP client: yes
TPP port:
10600
