Serial Interfaces

Devices that do not support Ethernet communications may be controlled

serially by Encore.

Encore systems also support being controlled externally with serial com-

munciations. This is typically the mechanism older Station Automation

systems employ to control Encore devices.

Encore Control of Jupiter (Serial)

Encore provides support for serial control of a Jupiter system as follows:

• Uses the Philips ESswitch serial protocol setting,

• Maximum Jupiter system matrix sizes and number of levels, and

• Default Serial matrix communication baud rate of 38400.

The interface to the Encore control system allows users to perform Takes

from any connected point of control (including, but not limited to, an

Encore panel, a Jupiter panel, and the Encore OUI). Execution of such Takes

will result in corresponding tally on any connected point of control that is

observing an affected destination.
