Good Morning All,
I'm programming a J.A.P. system with VBS-HDIP-508POE endpoints with RS232 connected to a display.? The Crestron Module I downloaded from their website for use with their AMP configuration software, has a module for video matrix switching but nothing for controlling the displays from the endpoints.? The documentation says, "For Endpoint Control or Feature Control, create a generic telnet driver, set the IP address to the Receiver or Transmitter you want to control, and follow the directions for the desired control feature".? That tells me to use the TPC/IP client module with the endpoint's IP address and port number, and connect my control module for control of the display.? Is that all?? Are there any settings in the endpoint's GUI for control of the display?

It has been a while since I have worked with a JAP system, but I do recall that you do in fact simply use a TCP/IP client with the endpoints address and the port number for whichever operation mode you are using. There is a section in the GUI of the JAP receiver that you can make adjustments for the serial mode as well as the baudrate settings. There are also jumpers on the endpoint for making the serial connection straight or null.

I did a video wall with the Color Max MC-RX1/TX1 about a year ago.? I know the baud rate is adjustable.? If I remember correctly, you change the baud rate via a telnet command.

The Color Max was a brand new product when we used it and we had a lot of lock up issues at first.? In particular, it would tend to lock up when you send it a command (whether it be a IR, RS232, or video wall command).? We landed up running IR to the displays from the Crestron processor to help reduce the lock ups.?? But even then, we had occasional lock ups.? Eventually Just Add Power did come up with a firmware update and after that the product was stable.? But I didn't go back and try using RS232.

After the initial issues, I was pretty impressed with the things the Color Max could do.? And absolutely no passwords required (unlike Crestron).? Even can preview the image via the web gui even with HDCP sources. The major down fall however is it does not support 1080i (at least a year ago it didn't).? So for cable boxes? satellite receivers you will have to use 720p.

Tech support was pretty good.

I might note that we used standard multicast instead of their custom manage switch solution.? So we did not use their Crestron module.

I appreciate your reply. I was doing a search on their website and couldn't find the info.? I was searching with "rs-232." When I searched with "rs232",? it gave me the info I needed.? You set the mode in the GUI of the receiver mode2.? This mode makes the connection from the ethernet port straight to the com port of the receiver using port# 6752.? ?You have to set the baud rate of the receiver as well.

To set the baud rate to 9600 8N1 you need to first telnet into the just add power device and the type the following command

astparam s s0_baudrate 9600-8n1

I think you can figure out how to set other baud rates from that.

To get help on a command such as astparam type
astparam --help

Now I remember that documentation for Just-Add-Power isn't the greatest.? But you can find most of what you need by looking at all the on line help on their website.
