12.4 RS232

Many devices in the professional range of PA and live sound solutions can be remote controlled

using serial communication. The most common standard for those is RS232, the interface

known from any computer (COM port). Small and cost-efficient converters between RS232 and

newer formats, like RS422 or RS485, are widely spread and therefore easily available.

As already described in the chapter about the technology to transmit MIDI via MADI the ADI-

6432 also transmits serial data via user bits, in this case on channels 1 to 9. Supported are the

Baud rates 9600, 19200, 38400 and 115200. The configuration is done via MIDI, either by

sending the according SysEx string, or more comfortably via the Windows software MIDI Re-

mote. The specific setting is stored in the unit and doesn't change on reboot.

SysEx Strings

9600 Bd F0 00 20 0D 63 7F 20 00 00 F7

19200 Bd F0 00 20 0D 63 7F 20 00 01 F7

38400 Bd F0 00 20 0D 63 7F 20 00 03 F7

115200 Bd F0 00 20 0D 63 7F 20 00 02 F7

Note

: In case the transmission of serial data seems not to work the device might be configured

for AES Transparent mode, see chapter 10.2.
