Device window pages
The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .

At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the receiver.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | Contains the address of the encoder. The address consists of two numbers: DeviceAddress and RemoteAddress. The DeviceAddress describes the Product type and is 82 for the Barco encoder. The RemoteAddress identifies a single Device. Leave this field empty to use the autodetect feature of the driver. |
| audioChannel[1..4] | Selects the audio channel |
| audioModeAdaption[1..4] | Enables auto adaption to digital input. The currents settings of the encoder are read at start-up but the setting of the encoder will only change if the appropriate audio mode of a channel is set. |
| Serial | Remember to set the line parameters for the serial interface connected to the encoder. The Barco encoder expects 19200,N,8,1 . |
Communication protocol The Barco Encoder device driver requires the Scientific-Atlanta RCDS protocol.
Remote interfaces
The Front Panel interface of the Barco Encoder provides an RS232 interface. It expects 19200,N,8,1 and an complete 1:1 cable (all 9 pins). After pressing RETURN the Encoder shows a prompt, but the input is not echod to the screen. Try ? to get the device type and version of the encoder. To acquire the RemoteAddress use SYS:RCDS REM:ADDR? . To set the RemoteAddress manually use SYS:RCDS REM:ADDR=n where n is the new address.
To connect the Barco encoder to the sat-nms system use the RS485 male DSUB-9 connector (labeled as AUX 2) at the back side of the encoder.
