An occupancy sensor can be connected to the TOGGLE pin and, based on the sensor type,
you can select one of the two last options (switch close and switch open options), to have the
display shut off once no motion is detected in the room.
Toggle pin function is defined.
Setting RS-232 Function
The FC-18 RS-232 port can function as an “input” to control the device, an “output” to control
an external device, or it can be used for go both ways for tunneling RS-232 data via Ethernet
tunneling:
▪ Controlling FC-18 via RS-232 on page 47.
▪ Controlling an External Device via RS-232 on page 48.
▪ Tunneling via Ethernet on page 49.
For all 3 of these settings, bi-directional RS-232 data is supported.
Tx and Rx LEDs on the FC-18 rear panel indicate the status of the RS-232 port.
Selecting RS-232 Function
To select the RS-232 port function:
1. In the Navigation pane, click RS-232 & Remote. The RS-232 & Remote page appears
(see Figure 66).
2. Check RS-232 port function from the Port Definition list:
▪ FC-18 Control – The RS-232 port is connected to an external controller and is
configured to control the FC-18. It accepts RS-232 commands to control the unit (for
example, instructing it to send a CEC command to send “turn the display on or off),
see Controlling FC-18 via RS-232 on page 47).
▪ External Control – The RS-232 port is connected to the display and is configured for
sending RS-232 commands to the display (default), including display on and off,
see Controlling an External Device via RS-232 on page 48).
▪ Ethernet Tunneling – The RS-232 is configured for bi-directional RS-232 data
tunneling via Ethernet (default Ethernet tunneling port: 5001/50001), see Tunneling
via Ethernet on page 49).
