Protocol:

 

 

 

 

• 38400 baud

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit

• no parity

• no flow control

About Global Configurator (GC)

What It Does

Global Configurator is the software tool for setting up an MLC and the system it controls. Global Configurator:

zz Loads device drivers and uses commands from them for controlling other products

zz Creates a single configuration file containing all the settings for the MLC and the products it interacts with in the AV system

zz Generates a graphical user interface called GlobalViewer that is uploaded to the MLC (a GlobalViewer host device) along with the completed configuration and can be accessed as a web page
