Use the Interactive tab to configure settings for serial, USB, and UDP communications.

...

  • Port: Select a serial port to configure. Most standard serial devices enumerate on port 0 (on the HO523, they will enumerate on port 1).

Note

A USB-serial device (such as a GPS receiver) will enumerate on port 2. Additional USB-serial devices will enumerate on ports 3, 4, 5, etc. The enumeration order will remain consistent between reboots as long as the USB-serial devices are connected to the same player/hub ports. The enumeration order can be retrieved using the "usblist" command at the brightsign> shell prompt; otherwise, it will need to be determined by testing the setup.

  • GPS Receiver: Check this box if the port is being used to connect a USB-serial GPS device to the player.

  • Baud rate: Set the baud rate for serial communications on the port.

  • Data bits: Set the number of data bits.

  • Parity: Set the parity.

  • Stop bits: Select the number of stop bits.

  • Protocol: Determine whether the serial data is formatted as Binary or ASCII.

  • Send EOL: Select the end-of-line character when sending data to a serial device.

  • Receive EOL. Select the end-of-line character when receiving data from a serial device.

  • Invert Signals: Check this box to invert the TX/RX signal levels on the serial port. This allows the player to communicate with devices that use -12V to 12V signaling. Inversion is only supported on the following ports: The DE9 and USB ports on the 4Kx42, XDx32, HDx22, XDx30, and HDx20, as well as the 3.5mm serial port on the XTx43/XDx33 (units that are rev H or earlier) and HDx23. Except for the 4Kx42, all of these ports perform 5V signaling.
