IFP110 RS-232 Protocols
RS-232
This document describes the hardware interface spec and software protocols of RS-232 interface communication between ViewSonic LFD and PC or other control units with RS-232 protocol.
The protocol contains three command sections:
- Set-Function
- Get-Function
- Remote control pass-through mode
- Note: Below, “PC” represents all the control units that can send or receive the RS-232 protocol command.

Command Message Reference
PC sends to LFD command packet followed by “CR”. Every time PC sends control command to Display, the Display shall respond as follows:
- If the message is received correctly it will send “+” (02Bh) followed by “CR” (00Dh)
- If the message is received incorrectly it will send “-” (02Dh) followed by “CR” (00Dh)
Protocol
Set-Function Listing
The PC can control the Display for specific actions. The Set-Function command allows you to control the Display behavior at a remote site through the RS-232 port. The Set-Function packet format consists of 9 bytes.
Set-Function Description
Length | Total Byte of Message excluding “CR” |
LFD ID | Identification for each of Display (01~98; default is 01) ID “99” means to apply the set command for all connected displays. Under such circumstances, only ID#1 display has to reply. The LFD ID can be set via the OSD menu for each Display. |
Command Type | Identify command type, "s" (0x73h): Set Command "+" (0x2Bh): Valid Command Reply "-" (0x2Dh): Invalid Command Reply |
Command | Function command code: One byte ASCII code. |
Value [1~3] | Three bytes ASCII that defines the value. |
CR | 0x0D |

- Behavior at Lock Modes
Lock Mode Behavior Button Lock 1. Lock all buttons on the front panel and RCU, except for “Power”
2. All the SET functions should be workable via RS-232, even the ones with according hot key in RCU like Mute,…etc.MENU Lock 1. Lock the “MENU’ key of front panel and RCU
2. The Factory and Hospitality modes should not be blocked for the model using MENU-combined key to enter these two modes. Alternative approach will be indicated separately if any limitation by model.POWER Lock 1. Lock the “POWER” key on the front and RCU.
2. The SET_POWER ON/OFF should be workable via RS-232, but does not mean the POWER lock will be released under this case.
3. Can not be unlocked by reset in OSD setting
4. Will auto AC power-on in power-lock
5. Under power-lock, the set will not enter power saving when no PC signal and neither turn off when no other video signals after 15 minutes.Remote Control Disable Lock the RCU keys, but keep the front panel buttons workable. - Wake-on-LAN by MAC address as alternative for SET Power on (Length=126 Bytes)

The display will send out the updated data/status automatically without GET query from the host whenever the following data/status is changed by the user through any of the available ways like: remote control unit, front control panel keys, or touch screen.
- Power On/Off
- Input Select
- Brightness
- Backlight
- Volume
- Mute On/Off
Remote Control Pass-through Mode
When the PC sets the Display to Remote Control Pass through mode, the Display will send a 7-byte packet (followed by “CR”) in response to remote control unit (RCU) button activation.
In this mode the RCU will have no effect on the Display function. For example: “Volume+” will not change the volume of the Display, but instead only send the “Volume+” code to the PC over the RS-232 port.

NOTE:
- This IR-pass-through code is different from the RCU key code.
- Special control sequence for POWER key under IR-pass through mode.
- When Display is OFF and receives the IR POWER code:
Display will turn itself ON, then forward the POWER code to the host via RS-232. - When Display is ON and receives the IR POWER code:
Display will forward the POWER code to the host via RS-232, then turn OFF itself. - When SET-POWER LOCK is enabled, the Display will not respond to POWER key pressing.
- The VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN code will repeatedly output when you press and hold the keys.
