AVG-HD402PR, it is able to control a third party RS232 device locally or control the
AVG-HDWP70TX-B from a remote AVG=HD300R. When controlling a third party
RS232 device, the baud rate of this device should be 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,
38400, 57600 or 115200.
5.2.1. Installation/removal of the RS232 Control Software
Installation Copy the control software file to the computer connected with the
AVG-HDWP70TX-B .
Removal Delete all the control software files in corresponding file path.
5.2.2. Basic Settings
First, connect the AVG-HDWP70TX-B with all input devices and output devices
needed, then connect it with a computer which has the installed RS232 control
software. Double-click the software icon to run this software.
