Planar UltraRes P Series Control Spec

Summary

Planar UltraRes P Series large-format displays. Same serial command set exposed over RS-232, TCP/Telnet (port 23), and SSH (port 22). RS-232 is always available; TCP/SSH are disabled by default and must be enabled through Remote Monitoring Software. ASCII command/response protocol with named opcodes, optional modifiers, operators, and operands terminated by CR/LF/semicolon.

Transport

protocols:
  - serial
  - tcp
  # SSH is also supported on port 22 (user: root) but is not enumerated as a
  # transport protocol in this spec; the command/response wire format is
  # identical to TCP/serial.
addressing:
  port: 23  # TCP/Telnet. SSH uses port 22.
serial:
  baud_rate: 19200
  data_bits: 8
  parity: none
  stop_bits: 1
  flow_control: none
auth:
  type: password  # Network access requires login via Remote Monitoring Software (TCP) or SSH user/password (root). RS-232 itself has no wire-level auth.
  # inferred: source describes explicit login procedure for TCP/SSH paths

Connector pin-out (DB9 female, straight-through): Pin 2 Tx, Pin 3 Rx, Pin 5 GND. All other pins NC. Power Down Mode must be set to Networked Standby or Fast Startup before RS-232 commands are accepted.

Wire format (all transports): [OPCODE](MODIFIERS)[OPERATOR][OPERANDS][TERM]

• OPCODE: named (e.g. GAIN) or numeric (e.g. 200)
• MODIFIERS: zero or more in parentheses, e.g. (ZONE.1, ALL)
• OPERATOR: = write, ? read name, # read numeric, + increment, - decrement, : response, !ERR error, @ACK ack, ^NAK nack, none = execute
• OPERAND: enumerated, quoted string, integer, or fixed-point
• TERM: CR (0x0D), LF (0x0A), or ;

Error codes: ERR 1 invalid syntax, ERR 2 reserved, ERR 3 unknown command, ERR 4 invalid modifier, ERR 5 invalid operand, ERR 6 invalid operator.

Traits

# powerable       - DISPLAY.POWER, SYSTEM.STATE, PATTERN, SYSTEM.REBOOT
# routable        - SOURCE.SELECT, MULTI.VIEW, LAYOUT, CURRENT.ZONE
# queryable       - most commands support ?/# read operators
# levelable       - VOLUME, BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST, COLOR, GAIN, OFFSET, BACKLIGHT, TINT, SHARPNESS, etc.

Variables

# UNRESOLVED: source documents all parameters as discrete actions with named operators
# and operands; no continuous variables outside action parameters.

Events

# Source does not document unsolicited device-initiated events over RS-232/TCP/SSH.
# Email notifications (NOTIFICATION.EMAIL) are sent by the device to an SMTP server
# on triggered conditions, not to the control client.

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: source does not document multi-step macro sequences on the device side.
# AUDIO.SETTINGS and SCHEDULE are composite commands (multiple operands in one
# command), not device-defined macros.

Safety

confirmation_required_for:
  - factory_reset  # FACTORY1 scope is destructive (EDID, network, presets) and requires power cycle to complete
  - firmware_update  # device may become unresponsive during update
interlocks:
  # UNRESOLVED: source notes that Power Down Mode must be set to Networked
  # Standby or Fast Startup before RS-232 commands are accepted, but does not
  # describe an explicit safety interlock procedure.
  - "RS-232 commands require Power Down Mode = Networked Standby or Fast Startup"

Notes

• Power Down Mode prerequisite: RS-232/TCP/SSH commands are ignored unless POWER.DOWN.MODE is Networked.Standby.Mode (1) or Fast.Startup (2). Default Standby mode rejects commands.
• Network default-off: TCP (port 23) and SSH (port 22) are disabled by default. Must be enabled through Remote Monitoring Software (default admin / serial number). Only one of TCP or SSH can be enabled at a time.
• SSH credentials: username root, password = the new password set in the Change Password page during first RMS login. SSH2 only.
• TCP/Telnet port: 23. SSH port: 22. Same wire format as RS-232.
• RS-232 settings: 19200 baud, 8N1, no flow control. DB9 female, straight-through: Pin 2 Tx, Pin 3 Rx, Pin 5 GND.
• Case insensitive command parts; responses always uppercase.
• Terminator: CR (0x0D), LF (0x0A), or ; — same on response.
• Aliases per zone: Zone modifiers 253=ALL.INPUT, 254=ALL/ALL.ZONE, 255=CURRENT. Source lists 254 twice but treats both as the same global target.
• FACTORY1 reset is more destructive than USER: also clears EDID customizations, network settings, and presets. Power cycle required.
• Source model series: This protocol is shared with other Planar products (MODEL.SERIES? returns the model series name); MODEL.ID? returns the specific SKU (e.g. URP552).
