Controlling the Monitor with a PC (RS-232C) You can control this monitor from a PC via RS-232C (COM port) on the PC. You can also connect multiple monitors via a daisy chain by using a PC. By assigning ID numbers to each monitor (see page 33), you can make input mode selection/adjustment or can check the status of a specific monitor. TIPS • To control the monitor via RS-232C, set STANDBY MODE to STANDARD.
Controlling the Monitor with a PC (RS-232C) nResponse code format When a command has been executed correctly O K Return code (0DH, 0AH) A response is returned after a command is executed.
Controlling the Monitor with a PC (RS-232C) nCommands for ID control The command examples shown on this page assume the following connection and ID SETTING. ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4 IDST ��������. A monitor receiving this command sets its own ID number in the parameter field. Example: IDST0001 OK 001 ← The ID number of this monitor is set to 1. IDLK ��������The parameter of this command sets the ID number of the monitor. The monitor is subject to all subsequent commands.
Controlling the Monitor with a PC (RS-232C) nRepeater control This system has a function to allow setting of multiple monitors connected in a daisy chain using a single command. This function is called repeater control. You can use Repeater control function without assigning ID numbers. [Example] Set 1 Set 2 Set 3 Set 4 * If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute a command like “Set all monitors’ input settings to D-SUB”.
Controlling the Monitor with a PC (RS-232C) RS-232C command table How to read the command table Command field (See page 32.) Command: W When the “Parameter” is set in the parameter field (see page 32), the command functions as described Direction: under “Control/Response Contents”. R The returned value indicated under “Reply” can be obtained by setting “????”, “ ?” or “???+” (repeater control) in the parameter field (see page 32). Parameter: Parameter field (See page 32.

(“0” means “no ID number”.) 0-25 Returns the monitor’s ID number. R ID NO. SETTING (ONCE) IDSL W 1-25 ID NO.
Controlling the Monitor with a PC (LAN) Your monitor can be connected to a LAN allowing you to control it from a PC on the LAN. The connection requires a commercially available LAN cable (UTP cable, Category 5, straight through). Network (LAN) Settings to connect to a LAN Set the monitor’s IP address and subnet mask to match the settings of your LAN. The settings depend on the configuration of your LAN. Ask your LAN administrator for details. ■ To set on the monitor Set the LAN SETUP options.
Controlling the Monitor with a PC (LAN) Command-based control You can control the monitor using RS-232C commands (see page 36) via terminal software and other appropriate applications. Read the manual for the terminal software for detailed instructions. (1) Connect the PC to the monitor. 1. Specify the IP address and data port number (fixed at “10008”), and connect the PC to the monitor. When connection has been established successfully, [ Login:] is returned as response. 2.
Troubleshooting If you are experiencing any problem with your display, before calling for service, please review the following troubleshooting tips. There is no picture or sound. • Is the power cord disconnected? (See page 14.) • Is the main power switch off? (See page 17.) • Is the monitor in standby mode (the power LED illuminating in orange)? (See page 17.) • Make sure correct input mode is selected. (See page 19.
Troubleshooting The Power LED is flashing in red and green alternately. • When the internal temperature of the monitor rises excessively, the brightness of the backlight decreases automatically in order to prevent high-temperature-related problems. When this occurs, the Power LED flashes red and green alternately. • If the internal temperature rises further, the monitor automatically enters standby mode. (The Power LED continues flashing red and green alternately.
