The 6110 On-Screen ID product provides a convenient way of displaying text
on top of a video source. The 6110 has an input for a phone line to display
Caller ID messages on screen and a serial interface to display messages
from a PC on screen.
The 6110 can display both name and number Caller ID messages and can
store up to 45 messages. Messages are displayed on screen when the calls
are received and are stored so that they can be reviewed later. Messages
can be deleted as a group or individually. Messages that are not deleted are
retained even if the power to the unit is lost.
The 6110 can be connected to a PC via an RS-232 serial port. The PC can
send commands and text to the 6110 to be displayed on screen. The 6110
can display text in three different sizes. It also has four text and background
shades. The 6110 also sends received Caller ID messages to the PC.

Linking the 6110 to a PC
The 6110 can be linked to a PC using a standard DB-9 male to female
serial extension cable. By doing this, the PC can control the 6110 display
memory and receive Caller ID messages from the 6110. The data format
supported is 4800 baud, 8 bit, no parity, one stop bit.
The PC can send ASCII text to the 6110 via the serial port. The 6110 is
controlled via a simple command structure. ASCII codes from 32 to 253
are displayed on the screen while codes from 0 to 31 are for display
control. The 6110 will automatically go to the next text line when the
previous line is full. The following table is a list of 6110 control codes and
their function. Codes below 32 not listed are ignored.
U 21 This control code cycles to the next text size. When sent, the entire
line displayed will be updated to the new size. The three text sizes
are 30, 20 and 10 characters per line. Can be sent anytime while
sending characters as long as it is before the next carriage return
(ASCII 13). A display reset command will set this to 30 CPL.
S 19 This control character turns on or off blinking. The blinking attribute
can be set on a character by character basis. All subsequent
characters after the command will be affected. A display reset
command will set character blinking to off.
Q 17 This control character will cycle to the next character shade. The four
shades are white, black, gray and transparent. Character shading
can be controlled on a per character basis. All subsequent characters
after the command will be affected. A display reset command will set
shading to white.
P 16 This control character will cycle to the next background shade. The
four shades are white, black, gray and transparent. This command
will affect the background shade of all characters up to and including
the last space. Can be sent anytime while sending characters as long
as it is before the next space (ASCII 32). A display reset command
will set background shading to black.
T 20 This control character will cycle to the next background shade mode.
The four shading modes are no shading, outline shading, block
shading and solid background. This command can be sent anytime
and will affect the entire display. A display reset command will set the
background mode to outline shading.
O 15 This control character will cycle to the next of four different line
spacings.
R 18 This control character will clear the display without affecting any of the
character or background attributes.
X 24 Display Reset. This control character clears the screen and resets all
of the character and background attributes to their default values.
H 08 Backspace. This will only delete the last character on the same line up
to the last carriage return.
M 13 Starts new line. A line feed (ASCII 10) is not required to go to the next
line.

Receiving Caller ID on the PC
The 6110 sends the received Caller ID messages to the PC when
displayed. The 6110 sends the same data in ASCII format to the PC that it
displays on the screen. This will be either two or three lines of text. Each
line is terminated with a carriage return (decimal 13) and a line feed
(decimal 10). The data format is 4800 baud, 8 bit, no parity, one stop bit.
No hardware handshaking is used. Data is sent as it is received and
cannot be sent at a later time. If the display of messages on screen has
been disabled via the front panel, no Caller ID information will be sent to
the PC. Because the data is ASCII, it can be received with a simple
terminal program running on the PC.
Common Questions about the 6110
Can I see the 6110 output on a TV without a video source?
Can the 6110 overlay graphics onto video?
If I never delete the messages, will the 6110 still work when the memory
becomes full?
Do you have software to use with the 6110?
No. The 6110 overlays text onto a video signal. The signal must be present
to view the output. However, the 6110 does not need a video signal to be
present to receive and store Caller ID messages or transmit them to the
serial port.
No. The 6110 overlays text only onto video. It is meant to display text
messages only.
Yes, the 6110 will automatically delete older messages to make room for new
ones when the memory is full.
Yes. It is free and can be downloaded from our WEB site at

Remote Switch Operation
The switch on the front panel of the 6110 can be operated remotely by wiring
a switch to two pins on the serial port. Since it uses an unused pin on the
DB-9 connector, this can be done even while still using the serial port
feature. Connect a single pole momentary switch between pins 5 and 9 on
the serial connector. This switch now performs the same function as the
switch on the front panel.
