Page 2/13 Introduction: This document outlines the serial port protocol and how to interface to it from Crestron control processors and touch panels. This document is designed to be used in conjunction with the Single Zone Crestron macro version 4.0.2. For Multi-Zone control, please download the AudioReQuest Multi-Zone macro and accompanying documentation from www.request.com. Play on DoubleClick: Beginning in version 4.0.2 of the ARQConnect™ Crestron package, clicking on a song name will start that song.
Page 3/13 Playlist Creation from a TPS-4500: The Manage Tab has been removed. It has been replaced by subpages that allow control of the Jukebox. Users can then create a permanent Playlist from the Jukebox contents by pressing the Make Playlist button on the Jukebox Controls Subpage. Once the Playlist is named, it will be accessible through QuickPlay Direct Playlist Access as well as through normal Navigation.

Page 5/13 [NEXT-GENRE (0x30,0x6C)] c. Random Music When the user walks up to a Keypad and presses “ARQ” button AudioReQuest will start playing a random song from the entire collection. If music is already playing then AudioReQuest will go to the next random song. [RANDOM-IN (0x30,0x80)] Multiple-Button One-Way Interface Examples: Crestron’s STS wireless remote is a good example of a one-way remote control that, when used with the AudioReQuest video output, can be an easy to use interface.
Page 6/13 b. Processing the Serial data from AudioReQuest Crestron processes the data coming from AudioReQuest in SIMPL+. It processes the incoming stream of text, finds and cuts out the appropriate data, and then sends the information to the touch panels. If you are having trouble getting text feedback double check to make sure the SIMPL+ module is being compiled correctly. c.

Page 13/13 Appendix A: Troubleshooting a. Can’t establish one-way Serial communication: - Make sure Serial settings are: 9600 Baud, 8 bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit. No Flow Control - Double check to make sure flow control is turned off. - If you connect the ARQ’s Rear Serial Port to a PC Serial Port, run a terminal program at the above baud rate and type ‘3’,’c’,’3’,’g’ you will see feedback on the terminal program. This is a good sanity check to verify a good cable.
Page 14/13 - Download and run the ARQ Crestron demo program available on our web site on both the touch screen and the Control Processor. This will eliminate any errors made when integrating the AudioReQuest Macro into your Crestron program and will make debugging easier. c.
