Serial Port Settings Section Three: CPN-5800 Menu System
You can return to the Serial Ports dialog to make further changes by selecting
the Return button, or by selecting Input Devices and then selecting Serial
Ports.
NOTE: If you are designating a port for use with another system, you
will need to set Comm Port parameters before exiting the menu system
(see Setting Comm Port Parameters, on page 54).
6. (optional) Select the device type name you wish to change.
When the device type name, instead of the arrow to its right, is activated, the
device type will change without having to display the Device Select submenu.
This method is only recommended for those with more extensive experience
in assigning device types. Each time the name is selected, it causes a different
device type to appear. The list of devices available using this method is an
abbreviated version of the list n in the Device Select dialog.
A click on the right side of the name moves forward one device. A click on the
left side of the name moves backward one device. (If you are using the
keyboard to select, it moves backward through the list only.) Keep clicking
until the device type you desire is displayed. It will be assigned permanently
when the CPN-5800 is rebooted.
NOTE: If you are designating a port for use with another system, you
will need to set Comm Port parameters before exiting the menu system.
7. Exit the menu system and recycle the power on the CPN-5800.
NOTE: The CPN-5800 must either be rebooted for the new device type
assignments to be made permanent or you can return to the Serial Ports
dialog and select the red box next to the new assignment to activate the
device immediately.
Setting Comm Port Parameters
If you are assigning a port for communicating with another system(see Integrating
the CPN-5800 with Other Systems, on page 51), you must select either Control
Port
or PVI to PVI as your device type. The CPN-5800 sup ports assigning only
one port for each type.
Control Port : Choose this option if the CPN-5800 is being used as an A/V
remote control command station, if it is being controlled remotely using
RS-232 commands, or if it is being connected to a PC.
PVI-to-PVI: Use this selection if the CPN-5800 is being used in a videocon-
ferencing system.
