TIPS • To control the monitor via RS-232C, set POWER SAVE MODE to OFF.
Controlling the Monitor with a computer (RS-232C) nResponse code format When a command has been executed correctly O K Return code (0DH, 0AH) A response is returned after a command is executed.
Controlling the Monitor with a computer (RS-232C) nCommands for ID control The command examples shown on this page assume the following connection and ID SETTING. ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4 IDST ��������. A monitor receiving this command sets its own ID number in the parameter field. Example: IDST0001 OK 001 ← The ID number of this monitor is set to 1. IDLK ��������The parameter of this command sets the ID number of the monitor.
Controlling the Monitor with a computer (RS-232C) nRepeater control This system has a function to allow setting of multiple monitors connected in a daisy chain using a single command. This function is called repeater control. You can use Repeater control function without assigning ID numbers. [Example] Set 1 Set 2 Set 3 Set 4 * If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute a command like “Set all monitors’ input settings to D-SUB[RGB]”.

Controlling the Monitor with a computer (LAN) Your monitor can be connected to a LAN allowing you to control it from a computer on the LAN. The connection requires a commercially available LAN cable (UTP cable, Category 5, straight through). Network (LAN) Hub LAN terminal LAN cable (commercially available, straight) TIPS • You must assign an IP address to the monitor by following the procedures in “Settings to connect to a LAN”. (See the description below.
Controlling the Monitor with a computer (LAN) Command-based control You can control the monitor using RS-232C commands (see page 39) via terminal software and other appropriate applications. Read the manual for the terminal software for detailed instructions. (1) Connect the computer to the monitor. 1. Specify the IP address and data port number (fixed at “10008”), and connect the computer to the monitor. When connection has been established successfully, [ Login:] is returned as response. 2.
Troubleshooting If you are experiencing any problem with your display, before calling for service, please review the following troubleshooting tips. There is no picture or sound. • Is the power cord disconnected? (See page 14.) • Is the main power switch off? (See page 18.) • Is the monitor in standby mode (the power LED illuminating in orange)? (See page 18.) • Make sure correct input mode is selected. (See page 20.
Troubleshooting Unable to distribute from “Content Distributer”. • Check the amount of free space in the medium (USB flash drive or SD memory card) to which you are copying. • Are both a USB flash drive and SD memory card connected? These cannot be connected simultaneously. The Power LED is flashing in red and green alternately.
