RS-232 OVERVIEW

RS-232 Protocol

1 Hardware Overview
3 wire RS-232C connection 19200 or 9600 baud / 8 data bits / 1 stop bits / no parity / no flow control (baud is selectable via OSD) 9 pin female D type connector (pin 2 is transmit, pin 3 is receive, pin 5 is signal ground) Use a straight-through cable to connect to your control system or PC

9600 baud 8 data bits No parity No flow control

GND RX TX

DB9 Male to plug into Sunfire

2 Protocol Overview
Sunfire's RS-232 protocol is a very sophisticated, yet simple to use interface to 3rd party control systems such as ELAN, Crestron, AMX, and others. Each command is structured as outlined below:
1st 2nd-4th 6th-Nth last

[CR] End Character* [CR] = "0x0D" hex or "13" decimal

Command Start Character

Parameter (of variable length)

The start character ("*") tells the Sunfire unit that a command is about to follow. The command + parameter instruct the unit to perform a certain operation. The unit will then execute that action upon receiving the [CR] string.

* Some control systems use a special character (such as "\r" or "\n") to represent a carriage return, [CR]. Please check with your control system provider if you are not sure what character or string they use.

ETHERNET OVERVIEW

RS-232 Protocol

1 Hardware Overview
4-wire Ethernet connection 19200 or 9600 baud / 8 data bits / 1 stop bits / no parity / no flow control (baud is selectable via OSD) * Baud rate must match the setting in the RS-232 setup 8 pin RJ-45 connector A straight-through cable is used to connect to your network router or switch (recommended) A cross-over (null modem) cable is needed to connect directly to a PC (not recommended)

2 Protocol Overview
Sunfire's Ethernet protocol is a very sophisticated, yet simple to use interface to 3rd party Ethernet control systems such as ELAN, Crestron, AMX, and others. Each command is structured as outlined below:
1st 2nd-4th 6th-Nth

Command Start Character

Parameter (of variable length)

The start character ("*") tells the Sunfire unit that a command is about to follow. The command + parameter instruct the unit to perform a certain operation. The unit will then execute that action once the full string is sent. * Note that unlike when using RS-232, a carriage return is not needed for Ethernet control. Sending it will not cause any problems - the unit will still respond as expected.

3 Unit Configuration
1. Prepare the unit for Ethernet control by navigating to the setup menu at SETTINGS/CONTROL/DIG CONTROL = LAN (not SERIAL). The Ethernet jack defaults to 9600 baud so make sure the baud rate on the CONTROL page is still 9600 (factory setting). 2. Power down the unit and connect the Ethernet cable to your LAN. Power up the unit. The Ethernet port will use DHCP by default to allow the router to dynamically assign it an IP address.

ETHERNET OVERVIEW

RS-232 Protocol

4 PC Configuration
1. Download the latest version of the Device Installer application from: http://ltxfaq.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/ltxfaq.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=644 Download the file for the Xport product. 2. After installing, run the Device Installer program to discover the IP address assigned to the unit. Write this down. A typical assignment would be something like 192.168.0.xxx or 10.1.1.xxx. 3. Open Hyperterminal on a PC connected to the LAN. If you open the main program (not a previously saved profile) it will prompt you with configuration questions. For "CONNECT USING" use TCP/IP (Winsock). It will give you a second configuration screen. Here you will enter the host address that you wrote down previously. For the Port Number type in 10001. 4. Hyperterminal will now connect to the unit. By default Hyperterminal does not echo the local keystrokes so you will only see the unit's return acknowledgement. Please refer to the codes in this document for sample command strings. Of course, the Ethernet control method is designed to be used by a 3rd party control system. The procedure outlined above should be used for test purposes only.
