For RS232 Serial Communication, use baud rate = 115200, 8, 1, N For IP Communication, THE PROTOCOL IS UDP NOT TCP, give the matrix a static IP and use port 5000 (Matrix is set to DHCP out of the box) ALL COMMANDS ARE ASCII, NOT HEX. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO Depending on the control system that you're using, you might need a carriage return at the end of each of these commands. Check with your control system manufacturer to see what symbol you should use for a carriage return. It could be any of these symbols: \r, /r, , \0XD The matrix is meant to run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There is no need to turn off the matrix unless you prefer to Power On: @T 0F 01 !
