2 Product Overview DESCRIPTION The CTL101 interface converts contact closures and infrared (IR) signals to RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 serial commands. The unit allows complete systems integration and system control via a single computer workstation, contact closure and / or infrared remote. The CTL101 can also be used to remotely control a VCR, DVD, INLINE unit or any other IR receiver equipped device by passing along IR remote signals.
3 Installation This section offers step-by-step instructions for installing the CTL101 Control Interface. Serial Port Wiring Diagrams are provided on pages 4 - 6, Application Diagrams are included on pages 7 - 11, and a Front and Rear Panel Connectors and Controls Diagram can be found on page 13. All connectors and controls are located on the back of the unit. Note: Installation of the CTL101 must only be carried out by qualified technicians.
4 Diagram D on page 10). The mouse type emitter attaches directly over the IR sensor of the device being controlled (when used to control a single unit) or can be mounted up to three feet away from the IR controlled devices when used to control multiple units. Note: Emitters are to be used for local control of video equipment only (i.e. the video equipment and the CTL101 are in the same room).

12 CTL101 Connectors and Controls FRONT PANEL INDICATORS The Remote and Power LED’s, and the IR receiver sensor are located on the front panel of the CTL101 (see the diagram on the following page). The Power LED will illuminate as soon as power is applied to the unit (the CTL101 has no ON/OFF switch). The Remote LED will illuminate whenever the interface receives an infrared signal from any IR remote control.
13 DIPSWITCH SETTINGS On the bottom of the unit are two sets of dipswitches. Dipswitch Bank #1 is used to configure the serial ports to operate as an RS-232, or RS-422 / RS-485 physical interface. Dipswitch Bank #2 is used to isolate the contact closure ports and to configure the CTL101 to the default baud rate (9600).

15 Serial Port Set-Up Preprogrammed command functions can be sent via the RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 serial output port. The CTL101 accepts serial commands from a control system, computer serial port or any other device capable of sending out serial ASCII commands at compatible baud rates, and relays the commands to the video equipment via the output port. RS-232, RS-422 & RS-485 FORMATS RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 formats are physical interface standards for serial communication.
16 TERMINAL EMULATION PARAMETERS* In order for the workstation to communicate with the CTL101, the terminal emulation program parameters must be set as follows: Enabled: VT100 Terminal Emulation Echo Typed Characters Locally (sending) Wrap Lines that Exceed the Terminal Width (receiving) Disabled: XON / XOFF Control Hardware Flow Control Echo Received Characters * Software comes standard with the Windows™ Package. By default, the CTL101 is set up to accommodate most common terminal emulation programs.

19 2 & 3. Set / Change / Clear / Display a Code - will prompt users to push an IR remote control button to be associated with the operations. Another prompt will be displayed to verify the selection. If the IR signal is acceptable, the unit will indicate if it is a "New" or "Existing" command code. A new feature includes Hexadecimal code entry (HEX format). HEX format codes must be entered in pairs (even number of entries).
20 REPROGRAMMING OR USING A DIFFERENT IR REMOTE CONTROL The CTL120 IR Remote is pre-programmed at the factory and will readily support most applications. However, If operators wish to use their own remote, or if the CTL120 commands interfere / are incompatible with components in the system, the existing command codes may have to be changed. Recommended manufacturer’s command codes include Sony (default), JVC, Panasonic, Pioneer and RCA/Proscan.
21 2. Flow Control - The Input Serial Port (host computer) can receive XON / XOFF flow control from the CTL101. This is beneficial when the host computer is controlling the video equipment simultaneously with a contact closure and / or IR signal. If a contact change or an IR signal is sensed, the CTL101 will send an XOFF command to the computer (once a delimiter is received from the computer going to the equipment, or a one second timeout).
22 1. Don’t Wait For Response - allows the CTL101 to deliver a command without receiving an end delimiter from the controlled equipment. In most instances this mode is used because it decreases the CTL101 response time (it does not have to wait for a response before the next command [button push] can be issued). All commands sent to INLINE units must contain a leading code, the command code, and an ending code.
