DESCRIPTION
The CXPS can be controlled over either an RS-232 or a 10/100T Ethernet connection. For
initial testing of this equipment, Black Diamond Video recommends temporary control of
the CXPS with a laptop computer using a RS-232 terminal program. Using the RS-232
interface and command set allows for the easy set-up and rapid ability to debug any
installation problems.

cable.
2 Open up a serial port terminal on the laptop or PC connected to the CXPS. For
Microsoft Windows-based programs access this with Start > All Programs >
Accessories > Communications > Hyperterminal.
