8.30. BAUD -- Set Baud Rate for RS-232 Port

This command sets the baud rate for the rear panel RS-232 port. The baud rate is specified in bits per second (bps). Valid baud rates are 9600, 19200, and 38400. Although, this command returns an acknowledgement, it is likely that you will not receive it, since it is sent at the new baud rate. If you setup your control system to quickly change its RS-232 baud rate after you send this command, then you can probably receive the acknowledgement at the new baud rate.

This command is saved to global non-volatile memory and is not part of a preset. Its value is saved each time it is changed. It will retain its value after power-down. Since this command writes to non- volatile memory, there will be a delay before an acknowledgment is returned.

Example Description

Set baud rate of rear panel RS-232

S01BAUD38400 port to 38400 bps.

S01BAUD?

Query current baud rate of rear

panel RS-232 port.

 

Status Message

S01BAUD38400

S01BAUDx , where x is 9600, 19200, or 38400 depending on the current baud rate setting.

8.31. BLAUTO -- Enable Automatic BLDATA Messages

This command sets whether or not BLDATA messages are automatically generated by the Vortex. See the BLDATA command for more information.

This command is a boolean command. See Section 6.1 for more information on this type of command.

This command is saved to non-volatile memory only as part of a preset. The state of this command will be restored after power-up only if a preset is saved and that preset is set to be the power-on preset.

Example Description

S01BLAUTO0Disable automatic BLDATA messages.

S01BLAUTO1Enable automatic BLDATA messages.

Toggle enabled status of automatic S01BLAUTO2 BLDATA messages.

Status Message

S01BLAUTO0

S01BLAUTO1

S01BLAUTOx , where x is 0 or 1

depending on the current setting of

BLAUTO.

The serial connection is often more reliable than wireless options, which can be susceptible to interference.

Another notable characteristic is its versatile compatibility with a range of devices, including cameras, projectors, and interface panels. This allows users to control multiple devices from a single point, streamlining the operation of complex setups. The straightforward nature of RS-232 commands simplifies integration, which is a significant benefit for both installers and end-users.

Polycom RS-232 also supports various baud rates, giving users the flexibility to optimize communication speed based on their requirements. This adaptability ensures that users can achieve the desired performance, whether they are managing basic functions like power and volume control or more complex commands for switching video sources or adjusting settings.

The technology also features error-checking capabilities, which contribute to its reliability in communication. This reduces the likelihood of issues during operations, ensuring that commands are correctly received and executed. Additionally, its structured protocol aids in diagnosing and troubleshooting, making it easier to manage any issues that arise.

With its robust nature and proven reliability, Polycom RS-232 remains a pivotal technology in the realm of audiovisual communications. Its combination of long-range capabilities, compatibility, flexibility, and reliability makes it an essential tool for enhancing the efficiency of modern communication environments. As technology continues to evolve, the importance of dependable interfaces like Polycom RS-232 cannot be overstated, ensuring seamless integration and operation of sophisticated communication systems. Whether used in educational institutions, corporate environments, or event venues, Polycom RS-232 guarantees a streamlined experience in device management and control.
