RS232 serial port
The DB9F connector provides the ability to use a laptop PC to monitor the data being sent out of the BBV
1-2-1 converter via RS232.
On power up or if SW2, SW3 or SW4 switches are altered the unit sends the current protocol, baud rate
and parity settings. Please be aware that the laptop baud rate and parity must match the settings selected
with SW4. If the settings do not match then the laptop display will have no meaning.
A power up message example is shown below:
BBV 1-2-1 converter conv3V39
www.bbvcctv.com
SW2(ADDR) = 01
SW3(IN) = 10 BBV:9600,N,8,1
SW4(OUT) = A3 MARK MERCER V7.3:9600,N,8,1
A debug mode can also be selected which provides detailed information for each command received.
Whilst trouble shooting BBV engineers may ask you to use this mode with a laptop or other PC:
