Baud Rate
Must be the same as that used by the controlling computer. The baud rate is not
automatically set, as it is with modem communications. It must be manually set here
and at the computer to match each other.
Note: For firmware upgrades, you don’t need to adjust the baud rate.
Serial Port Status
To view RS232 port status, press MONITOR twice on the remote.
The SERIAL PORT STATUS menu provides diagnostic information for the serial port.
Controlling With RS232 Commands
The RS232 protocol - the “rules” for controlling displays with RS232 commands - are
described in a separate document. See “Accessing Planar’s Technical Support
Website” on page 93 to see how to get to the web page. Then look for m40L/m46L
and under that the RS232 Programming Guide.
