Using the software to configure the serial port settings

If necessary, use the ICS 100 software to change the serial port settings of either the transmitter or receiver.

The transmitter’s serial port is factory-configured to 9600 baud, no parity, no flow control, half-duplex mode. If desired, serial port settings can be changed from within the ICS100 program.

1. Click Communications > Comm Port > Comm 1 (or the correct Comm port). The Serial Port Setup window appears (figure 4-6).

Figure 4-6 — Serial Port Setup window

2. Click in the appropriate radio buttons to select the desired settings for the transmitter and the receiver.

		The receiver’s RS-232 port should be connected to the display device’s
		communications port. Refer to the display device’s user manual for the
		appropriate serial port protocol and settings.
		The transmitter and receiver are buffered and can operate with different serial
		port protocols.
3.	Click OK.
		If you change the serial protocols, communications between the computer and
		the transmitter are lost until the computer is updated to match the new
		transmitter settings.
4.	If no further operations are to be performed, halt communication with the
	switcher by selecting a different address. See “Establishing communications
	with the program”, step 12.
