INSTALLATION Revision 1.4 Page 2-13
In order for the temperature probe to communicate to the 7725DSK-LG you must configure the COM C
or COM D port for the correct protocol and baud rate. The SERIAL CONTROL, or COM D menu items
on the General menu are used to accomplish this (depending on which communications port is used for
the temperature probe). Set the RCP General menu item to temperature in order for the temperature
probe to communicate to the 7725DSK-LG. See section 4.6.8 for information on setting the serial port
protocol.
2.10. MODULE CONFIGURATION
The 7725DSK-LG module’s features and parameters are configured through the following tools:
Module serial port: Module IP address network identification.
Remote Control Panel or Desktop Control Panel: Use external control panels (via serial port) to
configure (see section 4 for further details)
VistaLINK
®
PRO: An SNMP software tool that is used to configure the module’s parameters for
normal operation.
Web Server Interface: A web browser can be used to connect to the 7725DSK-LG to configure some
of the audio and time parameters. This interface does not require any additional
software to be installed, just web browser software.
Overture: Allows the user to manage and control the media on the 7725DSK-LG.
2.11. CONFIGURING THE MODULE USING THE MODULE SERIAL PORT
1) Through the card-edge’s serial port, and using the serial 7700 upgrade cable connected to a PC’s
serial port running HyperTerminal (or equivalent), the 7725DSK-LG module’s IP address and
subnet are identified. The 7700 upgrade cable supplied with the 7700FR-C frame is a multi-
coloured ribbon cable with a six pin header socket on one end and a female 9 pin D connector on
the other end (Evertz part number
WA-S76). This cable is normally in the vinyl pouch at the front
of the manual binder. Configure the port settings of the terminal program as follows:
Baud
57600
Parity
no
Data bits
8
Stop bits
2
Flow Control
None
2) When the card is powered-up, the HyperTerminal connection displays boot-up status information
and once completed, ends with the “Status Message” as shown in Figure 2-7.
3) Press the <Enter> key to see the main Menu. In the Main Menu, the options shown in Figure 2-7
are present for module configuration.
