IFP55G1 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.

Description

RS-232 Hardware Specification

ViewSonic LFD communication port on the rear side:

Connector type: DSUB 9-Pin Male (female or 3.5 mm barrel connector)
Use of crossover (null modem) cable for connection
Pin Assignment:

	Pin #	Signal	Remark
Male DSUB 9-Pin (preferred)	1	NC
	2	RXD	Input to Display
	3	TXD	Output to Display
	4	NC
	5	GND
Female DSUB 9-Pin	6	NC
	7	NC
	8	NC
	9	NC
	frame	GND

	Item	Signal	Remark
3.5 mm barrel connector (alternative for limited space)	Tip	TXD	Output from Display
	Ring	RXD	Input to Display
	Sleeve	GND

LAN Hardware Specification

ViewSonic LFD communication port on the rear side:

Connector type: 8P8C RJ45
Pin assignment:

Pin #	Signal	Remark
1	TX+	Output from Display
2	TX-	Output from Display
3	RX+	Input to Display
4	BI_D3+	For 1G case
5	BI_D3-	For 1G case
6	RX-	Input to Display
7	BI_D4+	For 1G case
8	BI_D4-	For 1G case
frame	GND

RS-232 Communication Setting

Baud Rate Select: 9600bps (fixed)
Data bits: 8 bits (fixed)
Parity: None (fixed)
Stop Bits: 1(fixed)

LAN Communication Setting

Type: Ethernet
Protocol: TCP/IP
Port: 7142
WOL Port: 9 (fixed) for UDP
Cross subnet: No
Logon Credentials: No

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)
