Serial Cable

The serial interface provides four (4) serial signals and one serial ground. The serial port supports RS-232 and RS-422 operation.

(Haivision p/n #084H074-612G) This cable is used for both Assembly Kit Options. Use this cable to connect the encoder’s Serial port (Interface (Carrier) board J6) to the metadata source or to the serial port of a computer.

Resetting the Encoder Module

The Reset button is used either to reset the encoder module or to restore the factory default settings.

Pressing less than 5 seconds is a reset.
If pressed for more than 5 seconds, the encoder module will restore its factory configuration and erase all previously saved configurations. The default configuration is:

DHCP Disabled, Static IP: 10.5.1.2
Gateway: 10.5.0.1, Netmask: 255.255.0.0

Setting the Terminal Parameters

To get started, you must set the terminal parameters to communicate with the encoder module.

To set up the serial interface:

Connect the encoder module’s Serial port (Interface (Carrier) board J6) to your computer as described in Assembling the Integrator's Board.
Power up the computer and start the serial communication application.
Set up the terminal parameters as follows:

Parameter	Setting
Baud Rate/Speed	115,200 bps
Data Bits	8
Parity	None
Stop Bits	1
Hardware Flow Control	None
LED Control	None

Power up the encoder as described in Assembling the Integrator's Board.
From the serial communication application, press Enter to get a prompt from the encoder.

It takes approximately two minutes for the encoder to boot. The system will request a login, or display the shell prompt if an active session is still running.

Tip

You can view the COM port settings from the Web interface. For information, see Managing the COM Port in the Makito X4 User's Guide.

We recommend that you log out from the encoder and exit from the serial communication application before disconnecting the Serial port.
