16.23 RS232 Data Configuration
The codec supports both in-band and out-of-band data depending on the connection transport
and algorithm you are using. RPTP data is automatically enabled when using the Tieline Music or
MusicPLUS algorithms over any transport. Over IP it is also possible to enable synchronized out-
of-band data using any algorithm.
Algorithm Selected IP Transport
Tieline Music and MusicPLUS
·
In-band RPTP data is enabled automatically
·
Synchronized out-of-band data can be enabled and
disabled as required
· Using out-of-band data with rules between G5 codecs
employing relay reflection minimizes latency
· These algorithms must be used when connected to G3
codecs as they don't support out-of-band data
All other algorithms
· No in-band data available; synchronized out-of-band data
can be enabled and disabled
Select Enable Auxiliary Data when creating a program in the Program Manager panel to
enable out-of-band data and activate rules employing relay reflection over a connection. This will
allow the codec to connect to external devices and send RS232-compatible data via the serial
port on the rear panel. Alternatively, enable auxiliary data using the
Setup menu (see Enabling
RS232 Data ).
Setting RS232 Data Rates and Flow Control
1. Open the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI and click Settings in the Menu Bar , then click
Options to display the Options panel .
2. Click the Baud rate drop-down menu arrow to select the serial port baud rate which
matches the baud rate of the external device connected to the RS232 port on the codec.
3. Click to select the Enable flow control check box and enable flow control, then click Save
to store the new settings.
Important Notes:
· When connecting over IP to G3 codecs only in-band data is available via the Music and
MusicPLUS algorithms.
·
Use firmware higher than 2.8.xx in the Bridge-IT, Genie and Merlin families of codecs to
enable auxiliary data over multicast connections.
·
It is important to enable serial port flow control as it regulates the flow of data through
the serial port. If disabled, data will flow unregulated and some may be lost.
· Ensure you configure the serial port baud rate to match the setting of the external device
to which you are connecting. Ideally the settings on both codecs should match, or you
could have data overflow issues.
·
Only the dialing codec needs to be configured to send RS232 data. Session data sent
from the dialing codec will configure all other compatible codecs (non-G3) when you
connect.
· RS232 data can be sent from the dialing codec to all endpoints of a multi-unicast or
multicast connection if your codec is capable of these connections. Note: Bidirectional
RS232 data is only available on the first connection dialed when multi-unicasting.
