Uart RS232/Serial Communicator
MyUart program and USB Serial Driver attached.
Can be used with any AVPro Edge product that features an RS232/ISP Control port.
How To:
After downloading the needed software files below as well as the CH340 driver if needed, you can proceed with the following steps.
STEP 1 (SETUP):
Connect into your intended device via USB (either micro/USB-C/mini)
Once connected head over to your device manager in your taskbar (see below)
In Device Manager you will find a corresponding COM Port that you will communicate with your device through.
STEP 2 (Opening Communication)
With MyUart now downloaded go ahead and open the software.
Using the COM port that was found in the prior step you will select that port in the dropdown pictured below.
The only other thing that you will need to adjust will be the Baudrate, set that to 57600 everything else can be left default as you found it.
Prior to sending any commands you will need to click to open your port which an active connection is indicated by a red light, closed is a black color light.
(See Reference)
STEP 3 (Sending Commands)
For many of our extender series, there is a required prefix (A00) that needs to be a part of your command strings.
This isn't generally needed for some of our Matrix models, but is something to keep reference of when interfacing with our extenders and devices alike.
Most of our devices command list can be accessed through a simple "H" string which gives a full list of the viable commands that you can manipulate or poll from the unit.
Once you have your string as formatted put into your command box, at the end of your string click enter on your keyboard as it acts as a line return. Then click the send manually button to the left of your command box.
Only one command can be sent at a time.
Below is an example of using the help command mentioned above.
Commonly used commands:
To pull firmware: get ver inf or A00 get ver inf
For Status pulls: get sta or A00 get sta
To Reboot your device: set rbt or A00 set rbt
