Controlling the Matrix with an RS232 Controller
The Intelix DIGI-VGASD-8X8e is compatible with most third-party RS232
control systems. The messaging is based on RS232 queries with CRC protocol;
therefore, any system which transmits hex or ascii code is compatible with the
system.
1.
If controlling the DIGI-VGASD-8X8e through the RS232 control
port on the rear panel, connect a straight-through serial cable directly
to the matrix.
2.
Power-on the DIGI-VGASD-8X8e. Verify the communication baud
rate is 115,000 kbps or less.
3.
Power-on the control system.
