4.1
Option-Module Configuration
If you are installing a MVII-AK600(1200)DP-
SAP
version receiver (this is equipped with the SAP hardware
option module), then the following information will be important to review BEFORE installing the receiver:
The
MVII-AK600(1200)DP-SAP
version offers pollable RS232 duplex serial in addition to stereo audio. The
serial interface is 3-wire (TX, RX, GND) and does not support full modem signals. The factory-default serial
baud rate is 9600 baud, but this is a user-
configurable option using “SAP-II” serial commands. Simplex modes
are supported without jumpers or other changes, by simply using the TX signal only. The SAP-module
capability of polling and interacting with specific receivers requires that each receiver have a unique address
setting. Please refer to Appendix-C for (SAP) module configuration information, and Appendix-D for SAP-
address settings. Setting this address involves opening your unit and setting DIP switches inside.
