Data Interconnection
USB PORT
Used for local communication/connection and set-up via PC. When connected to your PC the
USB port will be identified as a COM port. In order for communication to be established, the speed
of the USB should be set to 115200 bps. This value is fixed and cannot be changed.
RS-232 COM PORTS
The two rear-panel RS-232 COM MALE/FEMALE PORTS might be connected directly to
station automation equipment for dynamic messaging, song titles, weather info, etc.
LAN PORT
Rear-panel LAN port, preferred for remote monitoring. Also applicable for servicing and station
automation.
NOTE
: For RS-232, USB or LAN interfaces with a PC for local/remote programming of the
‘static’ data registers, software must be installed on the computer before it is connected to the
encoder.
ASCII Communication syntax is explained in section
“ASCII Programming Syntax” on page
“.
COMPUTER OR TERMINAL REQUIREMENTS
For fast and easy encoder programming via the serial COM, USB or LAN port, Windows®-
based RDS Data-Entry Software routines have been supplied on a CD-ROM. This software also
may be downloaded from the DEVA Broadcast Ltd. Website. Alternatively, the encoder may be
addressed with any computer running a ‘terminal emulation’ program, or with a simple “dumb”
terminal that has an RS-232 interface. The encoder can accommodate several baud rates, but the
factory default is 9600 bps. Set the terminal (or terminal program) for: 9600 bps / 8 Data Bits / No
Parity / 1 Stop Bit / No Flow Control (9600, 8, N, 1, None).
Static PS and other IDs, flags, the Alternative Frequency list and operating mode options are
uploaded into non-volatile encoder memory from a PC, either with USB, RS-232 serial or TCP/
IP connections. If Dynamic PS or RadioText messaging is not used, a slogan, phone number
or advertising messages can also be entered manually into the 64-character Dynamic PS and
RadioText fields. These will be displayed on the radio faceplate as a repetitive scrolling-PS or
static RadioText messages. Keep in mind that RadioText and Dynamic PS are separate functions,
both of which are simultaneously available with the SmartGen 6.0.
Once static data has been uploaded, the encoder may be disconnected from the computer,
relocated to another operating point, or reconnected to an alternative data source for dynamic
messaging. This may be a hard-disk-based station automation system that provides song title and
artist, plus ads or station promos. The automation system must be configured to the encoder’s
communication port and programmed to deliver dynamic data in proper syntax as explained by the
instructions in section
“ASCII Programming Syntax” on page 80
