Comm Port Operations Section Four: Comm Port Devices Menu
You can return to the Serial Ports dialog to make further changes by
selecting Comm Port 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 sys-
tem(See “Setting Comm Port Parameters” on page 56).
NOTE: The PVI-65 must be rebooted for the new device type assign-
ments to be made permanent.
6. (optional) Select the device type name you wish to change.
When the device type name, instead of the arrow to its right, is acti-
vated, 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 seen 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 PVI-65 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 sys-
tem(See “Setting Comm Port Parameters” on page 56).
NOTE: The PVI-65 must be rebooted for the new device type assign-
ments to be made permanent.
7. Exit the menu system and recycle the power on the PVI-65.
The PVI-65 implements the new settings.
Setting Comm Port Parameters
If you are assigning a port for communicating with another system (See “Inte-
grating the PVI-65 with Other Systems” on page 53), you must select either
Control Port or PVI to PVI as your device type. The PVI-65 supports assign-
ing only one port for each type.
Control Port: Choose this option if the PVI-65 is being used as an
A/V remote control command station or if it is being controlled
remotely using RS-232 commands.
