Activate RS-232 Syntax Support for a 42- or 47-inch Cisco LCD

Note

 

This procedure applies exclusively to our 42-inch and 47-inch LCD display models. You can disregard this procedure if the

 

 

advertised diagonal measurement of your Cisco LCD display is 32, 40, 52, or 55 inches.

 

 

 

 

 

Our factory-default settings for this equipment save power by turning Off most of its support for remote

 

 

management and polling. Almost any attempt to use these features will fail while our energy-saving

 

 

settings remain in effect.

 

 

Would you like to manage or poll this equipment remotely from Cisco DMS? Before you can do so

 

 

reliably, you must complete a simple procedure that turns On the support for these features.
