DATA/MTI (RJ11) terminal connection

A standard 6 pin RJ-11C connector is used to provide a connection between the MTI equipment and the TV set. Both the MTI terminal and TV are equipped with FCC-66 style (RJ-11C) jacks. Each of these jacks shall accept a 6 contact plug Molex P/N 90075-0007 or equivalent.

SERIAL CRTL (RS232C (M3)) terminal connection

PC Control of the TV

The TV can be controlled by a personal computer when connected through an RS232C cable (not supplied).

The computer will require software which allows sending and receiving of control data through its SERIAL port. Please see required parameters and commands below.

Basic format for control data

The transmission of control data from the external device starts with a STX signal, followed by the command, the parameters, and lastly an ETX signal in that order. If there are no parameters, then the parameter signal does not need to be sent.

* Please see p. 35 regarding Commands and Parameters.

Notes

With standby mode, this TV responds to “PON” and “QPW” commands only.

Wait for the response of the first command to come from this unit before sending the next command.

If multiple commands are transmitted, be sure to keep intervals of 250msec. Send the command again when the call back command is unusual.

If an incorrect command is sent by mistake, this TV will send an “ER401” or “ER402” command back to the computer. This TV does not respond for 15 seconds when “PON” or “POF” commands are transmitted.

Send “EXT” commands before sending “IMS:**” commands.
