Introduction to InView Connectivity 1-5
Serial RS-485 Communications
PC based RS-485 serial networks. For multi-drop connection to an
InView display, an AIC+ (RS-232 to RS-485 converter) or a 2706-P9
type InView display can be used off the PC comm port. This allows
individual control of multiple displays on a single network up to
1219 m (4000 ft).
Set the 2706-PENET1 IP
Address
To set the 2706-PENET1 IP address:
1. Open the InView software.
2. Add a display to the project.
3. Under the display management portion of the interface, right
click the display to add and click Edit Display.
The Edit Display dialog opens.

IMPORTANT
The Ethernet communications modules should be
configured serially before mounting to the InView
display or hanging/mounting the display in a high or
remote location. Communication modules require an
initial setup to establish node or IP address before
being able to function on a network. The serial
configuration requires a 2706-NC13 cable and the
InView message software.
