Monitor – Versions:
This window provides the current firmware versions found in the Base Station.
Monitor – DIP Switches:
This displays the current state of the base station DIP switches. W hen a DIP switch is in the ‗OFF‘
position the DIP f unction will remain ―greyed out‖. When a DIP switch is in the ‗ON‘ position, the
functionality of that DIP switch will change to BLACK to indicated that the feature is active.
The Serial Control Processor allows the use of a third party control system or DSP to monitor a nd/or
control the Executive HD Base Station and Microphones. The Executive HD Base Station must be
configured for the correct ―Serial Control Processor‖ using the Revolabs HD Control Panel software.

Using the Executive HD Base Station with a Control System
The Executive HD Ba se Station is capable of being monitored and controlled via any serial capable
control system. The only logic communication that takes place between multiple Base Stations, via
the ‗BUS‘ cable, is ―Master Mute‖ state and global serial queries. Therefore, each Base Station
requires its own serial connection to the control system in order to communicate. T he ―Control
System‖ option must be selected, under the ―External Control Processor‖ drop down menu, in the
Executive HD Control Panel software, in order for this configuration to function properly. You must
also set the RS -232 or Network settings of the Base Station to match the communication settings of
the control system. If ‗Network‘ is the chosen protocol for serial communication, the control system
must utilize a ―TCP/IP Server‖ module to communicate to the Executive HD base station.
