14.2.6 “Hardware RS232 Tunnelling” function
The “Hardware RS232 tunnelling” is disable by default.
Hardware RS232 tunnelling function enables you to transmit standard RS232 data over
EtherSound. This function is very useful to remotely control from a digital mixing console,
using only EtherSound connection, a set of AD8HR connected to EtherSound by AVB32-
ES or by AVKit-ES for AD8HR. The digital mixers that can manage AD8HR from a remote
serial connector are: PM5D, M7CL, LS9, DM2000, DM1000 and DME64N/24N.
There are three modes available for the tunnelling communication. Differences are in the
source and the destination of RS232 data.
- Mode 1: Internal Serial data of the Yamaha console are redirected to the physical
serial port of AVY16-ES100. Also, incoming data on AVY16-ES100 serial port are
redirected into the internal slot of Yamaha console.
- Mode 2: Internal Serial data of the Yamaha console are sent over the EtherSound
network. Data received from the EtherSound network are redirected to the Yamaha
internal slot. This mode must be used on LS9 to remotely control over EtherSound
AD8HR connected to AVB32-ES or NAI48-ES device.
- Mode 3: Data incoming to the AVY16-ES100 serial port are sent over the
EtherSound network. Data from the EtherSound network are output on the AVY16-
ES100 serial port. This mode must be used on a PM5D, DM2000/DM1000, M7CL to
remotely control over EtherSound AD8HR connected to AVB32-ES or NAI48-ES
device.
When using a mode working with EtherSound network (i.e. Mode 2 or 3), you must
specify a remote EtherSound device to communicate with. This can be done thanks to the
combo box in the “Serial Port Mode” window. When remote device is selected, you can
“turn-on” the tunnelling communication by checking the “Tunnel started” checkbox.
The “Serial Port Configuration” window enables you to configure several parameters of
the AVY16-ES100 serial port, such as speed (Baud Rate) and Parity management. You
don’t need to take care about those parameters if you are using Mode 2, as this mode
doesn’t use AVY16-ES100 serial port.
