Serial Bridging
Serial bridging mode allows you to pass serial data between two COM ports
through an Ethernet port, creating a virtual serial connection over a LAN.
To use serial bridging, two IPL T S devices (one local and one remote) must be
enabled to communicate with each other, providing PC or controller access to a
remote A/V device.
Hardware connection
To set up the hardware for serial bridging:
1.
Verify that the serial port parameters of the two devices match, as explained
under “Direct port access (ports 2001 through 2006)”.
2.
For IPL T S unit 1 (the remote device), connect a serial cable to an A/V device
(e.g., a plasma, projector, etc.).
3.
On the same IPL T S, connect the device to your LAN.
