External Control NECLCDMonitor

1. Application

This document defines the communications method for control of the NEC LCD monitor, MultiSync X461UN

when using an external controller

2. Connectors and wiring

2.1 RS-232C Remote control

Connector: 9-pin D-Sub

Cable: Cross (reversed) cable or null modem cable

(Please refer “Controlling the LCD monitor via RS-232C Remote control”on User’s manual.)

2.2 LAN control

Connector: RJ-45 10/100 BASE-T

Cable: Category 5 or higher LAN cable

(Please refer “Controlling the LCD monitor via RS-232C Remote control”on User’s manual.)

3. Communication Parameter

3.1 RS-232C Remote control

(1) Communication system Asynchronous

(2) Interface RS-232C

(3) Baud rate 9600bps

(4) Data length 8bits

(5) Parity None

(6) Stop bit 1 bit

(7) Communication code ASCII

3.2 LAN control

Use the payload of TCP packet.

3.3 Communication timing

The controller should wait for a packet interval before next command is sent.

The packet interval needs to be longer than 600msec for the LCD monitor.

(2/43)

4. Communication Format

The command packet consists of four parts, Header, Message, Check code and Delimiter.

Sequence of a typical procedure to control a monitor is as follows,
