Appendix A - Serial Control
Introduction
This appendix will assist with showing you how to update both the IS-SPX-1000 and an existing AMX
InspiredSignage XPress project to include serial control through the XPress project.
Serial Control From Within an Existing InspiredSignage
Project
For this project, you will create an example of serial control through an existing XPress project. In this case,
control is through the XPress project and not via NetLinx through the IS-SPX-1000. This includes creation of
the protocol file and using an LG TV to implement. The intent is to control:
Power off at a given time (#1)
Power on at a given time (#2)
Gathering Display Serial Protocol Commands
First, find the appropriate monitor’s or display’s serial protocol commands. These will be stored within an IS-
SPX-1000 protocol file using the Serial Protocol File Editor tool (FIG. 107). This tool is available at
www.amx.com
For instance, the Serial Protocol commands below are for an LG TV, model 32LE5300.
