Controlling an External Device Via HDBT Ethernet Tunneling
Control any external device (for example, a connected display) using an Ethernet control
system connected to the transmitter wired to the HDBT input. RS-232 commands are sent
from the control system to the transmitter and tunneled via VP-427X1 HDBT to the RS-232
device connected to VP-427X1.
Figure 40: Ethernet Tunneling via HDBT
RS-232 commands can be tunneled from the VP-427X1 Ethernet port to the RS-232 port that
is connected to the external device.
To control an external device via Ethernet Tunneling to the RS-232 port:
1. Click RS-232 on the Navigation List. The RS-232 page appears.
2. Set “Use RS-232 Port for control of” drop-down box to Ethernet Tunneling (HDBT).

3. Set RS-232 Configuration parameters to enable communication with the display that is
connected to the acceptor (or any other device with an RS-232 port), see Figure 31.
