Remotely managing your board

You can connect an RS-232 cable from the computer’s serial output to the RS‑232 input on the connector panel to remotely select video inputs, turn the board on or off and get information about the board’s current settings, such as contrast and power state.

How to connect the RS-232 cable

Important 

Use only a standard RS-232 cable. Do not use a null modem cable. Null modem cables typically have ends of the same type.

Note 

You can remotely manage only the board and not the SMART kapp iQ appliance.

Configure the computer’s serial interface before sending commands to the board.

To configure the computer’s serial interface

  1. Turn on the board.

  2. Turn on the computer, and then start the serial communications program or terminal emulation program.

  3. Activate local echo.

  4. Configure the serial interface settings using the following values, and then press ENTER.

    Baud rate

    19200

    Data length

    8

    Parity bit

    None

    Stop bit

    1

    A command prompt (>) appears on the following line, and the board can now accept commands from the computer.

    Note 

    If no message appears or an error message appears, the serial interface isn’t configured correctly. Repeat steps 3 and 4.

The board has three power modes:

  • On

  • Power Save

  • Standby

All commands are available when the board is on. Some commands are available when the board is in Standby mode.

To access board information or to adjust board settings using the room control system, type commands after the command prompt (>), and then wait for the response from the board.

Copy

Correct

>get contrast
contrast=55

If you type a command that the room control system doesn’t recognize, you will receive an invalid command response.

In the example below, the user included an extra space in the contrast command.

Copy

Incorrect

>set con trast=65
invalid cmd=set con trast=65

Notes 

  • Use ASCII formatted commands.

  • Commands aren’t case-sensitive.

  • Review each entry carefully before you press ENTER.

  • Don’t send another command until you receive the response and the next command prompt.

To view a list of available commands

  1. Type ? at the command prompt, and then press ENTER.

To identify the current value of a setting

  1. Use the get command.

    This example shows how to get the contrast level:

    Copy
    >get contrast
    contrast=55

To assign a value to a setting

  1. Use the set command.

    This example sets the contrast level to 65:

    Copy
    >set contrast=65
    contrast=65

To increase or decrease the value of a setting

  1. Use the set command to increase or decrease the value by a designated number.

    This example increases the contrast level by 5:

    Copy
    >set contrast +5
    contrast=70

    This example decreases the contrast level by 15:

    Copy
    >set contrast -15
    contrast=55
