Controlling the Monitor with a computer (LAN)
You can control this monitor from a computer via network.
TIPS
· Please refer to “Controlling the monitor via LAN” in the user manual.
· The settings for the commands are set in “PC CONTROL” on the web page.
Command-based control
You can control the monitor using S-Format commands (see page 6) via terminal software and other appropriate applications. Read the manual for the terminal software for detailed instructions.
Command setting for normal communication
You can control user access by setting a login name and password.
(1) Put a check mark on “HTTP SERVER” from “NETWORK” > “NETWORK SERVICES”
(2) Press the DISPLAY button and check the IP address of the monitor at the top left of the screen.
(3) Input the address in the Web browser, then login page is displayed.
(4) Register an administator password when you log in for the first time. From the next time you log in, enter the password you registered the first time.
(5) Select “PC CONTROL” in the side menu. (6) Set “PC CONTROL” to ENABLE (7) Set “S-FORMAT LOGIN AUTH” to ENABLE
and set USER NAME and PASSPWORD if you need. (8) Press “APPLY” button.
Command control via normal communication.
(1) Connect the computer to the monitor. 1. Specify the IP address and data port number (Default setting: 10008) and connect the computer to the monitor. When connection has been established successfully, [Login: ] is returned as response. 2. Send the user name. · Send [user name] + [ ]. · When the transmission is successful, [ Password: ]is returned as response. 3. Send the password. · Send [password] + [ ]. · If the password is not set, send [ ]. · When the transmission is successful, [OK ] is returned as response.
(2) Send commands to control the monitor. · The commands used are the same as those for RS-232C. Refer to the communication procedure (see page 4) for operation. · Usable commands are provided in S-Format command table (see page 6).
(3) Disconnect the connection with the monitor and quit the function. 1. Send [BYE ]. When the transmission is successful, [Goodbye ] is returned and the connection is disconnected.
TIPS
· You can access by settings of user name and password registered in USER NAME / PASSWORD when “LOGIN AUTH” is set to ENABLE.
· When access control is not used, set “LOGIN AUTH” to DISABLE. In this case send [blank] + [ ] as user name and password.
· If “AUTO LOGOUT” is ENABLE, the connection will be disconnected after 15 minutes of no command communication.
· Up to 3 connections can be used at the same time.

Communication Procedure
Command format
When a command is sent from the computer to monitor, the monitor operates according to the received command and sends a response message to the computer.
Return code
Response code format
When a command has been executed correctly
O K
Return code (0DH, 0AH)
A response is returned after a command is executed.
C1 C2 C3 C4 P1 P2 P3 P4
Command field (4 prescribed
alphanumerical characters)
Parameter field (4 character string comprised of: 0-9, +, -,
space, ?)
Example: VOLM0030 VOLM 30
* Be sure to input 4 characters for the parameter. Pad with spaces (” “) if necessary. (” ” is a return code (0DH, 0AH or 0DH))
If a command has “R” listed for “Direction” in the S-Format command table on page 6, the current value can be returned by using “?” as the parameter.
Example:
VOLM????
From computer to monitor (How much is current volume setting?).
30
From monitor to computer
(Current volume setting: 30).
When a command has not been executed
E R R
Return code (0DH, 0AH)
TIPS
· “ERR” is returned when there is no relevant command or when the command cannot be used in the current
state of the monitor.
· If use only lower case characters in the command field, nothing is returned (not even ERR)
· If communication has not been established for reasons such as a bad connection between the computer and monitor, nothing is returned (not even ERR).
· “ERR” may be returned when a command cannot be received correctly due to interference from the surrounding environment. Please ensure that the system or software resends the command if this occurs.
If execution of the command is taking some time
WA I T
Return code (0DH, 0AH)
When “WAIT” is returned, a value will be returned if you wait a while. Do not send any command during this period.
Communication interval
· To set a timeout for the command response, specify 10 seconds or longer.
· Provide an interval of 100 ms or more between the command response and the transmission of the next command.
VOLM0020 OK
Interval of 100 ms or more
INPS0001 WAIT OK
TIPS
· Before sending a power “On” or “Off” command, it is recommended that you perform buffer clear at the sending application side.
· After executing a power “On” or “Off” command, wait at least 1 minute before sending the next command.

Repeater 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. For information on how to connect for repeater control, refer to “Controlling the monitor via LAN” – “Connecting multiple monitors” in the user manual.
Repeater control command
Repeater control is achieved by setting the FOURTH CHARACTER of the parameter to “+”.
Example: VOLM030+ Sets volume of all monitors to 30.
Repeater controllable command list
Repeater controllable commands are listed below. * For details on each command, refer to the S-Format command list on page 6.
POWR INPS VLMP VOLM MUTE INF1 SRNO DSTA
In repeater control, responses are returned by all the connected monitors. If you want to determine that a value has been returned by a specific set, assign ID numbers to each monitor in advance. When some monitors do not return their responses, the probable cause is that the monitors could not receive the command or command processing is not complete. Do not send a new command.
Example: (When 4 monitors are connected, and assigned ID numbers: 1 through 4)
VOLM030+ WAIT OK 001 OK 002 OK 003 OK 004
If 4 monitors are connected in a
chain, reliable operation can be ensured by sending a new command only after a reply has been returned by 4th (last) monitor.
Repeater control can also be used for reading settings.
Example: VOLM???+ WAIT 10 001 20 002 30 003 30 004
Volume settings for all monitors are returned.
