7.9. LAN Communication
How it Works
The display is first connected to the serial COM port of a computer in the LAN environment which we refer to as the
Receiver Slave Computer (RSC). The computer that will actually be transmitting messages to the LED display is
referred to as Transmitting Master Computer (TMC). The TMC will have the display control software installed. It is not
necessary to install the software on the RSC. Next step is to set up a "Generic / Text Only" printer driver on the RSC
and share it with the TMC. Once the setup is done and a message is created, a simple click on the "Send Via
Network" button will bring up the "PRINT" dialog window. Select the "Generic / Text Only" printer and click "OK" and
your message will be on its way.
RSC Printer Driver Setup
• Click on "Start", "Settings" and "Printer". The "PRINT" dialog window will appear.
• Double click on the "Add Printer" icon. The "Add Printer Wizard" window will appear.
• Click on "Next". Select "Local Printer" and click on "Next" again.
• Under "Manufacturers", search for "Generic" and click on "Next". If prompted "A driver is already installed to this
printer", select "Keep existing driver" and click "Next".
• Select the COM port on the RSC the display will connected to and click on "Next".
