Bidirectional Control and Communication Connections and Features
D
3-pole COM ports, RS-232 only (see figure 14, figure 15, and figure 16 on
page18 through page20) and
E
5-pole COM ports, RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 — Use COM ports for serial control
of a display or other device and to receive status messages from the connected
devices. These ports can send commands from a driver file. RS-232 is the only mode
for the 3-pole ports and is the default mode for the 5-pole ports.
IPCPProSeries serial protocol:
• 300 to 115200 baud (9600 baud = default)
• 8 (default) or 7 data bits
• 1 (default) or 2 stop bits
• No parity (default), even parity, or odd parity
• Flow control support (default = none):
• 3-pole ports: software-only (XON, XOFF)
• 5-pole ports: hardware and software
Use the following diagram as a wiring guide to
cable the IPCP to other devices.

Figure 20. Wiring COM ports for Serial Control
For bidirectional serial communication, the transmit, ground, and receive pins must be
wired at both the IPCPProSeries and the other device. Each projector or other device
