For detailed information on BKC-DIP and RS-232, please refer to the documentation folder located
in [c:/program files/B&K Components Ltd/BKcSuite/documentation] or visit our website at

1. RS-232 Port Enable:
When disabling the RS-232 port, RS-232 strings will be neither transmitted or received through the main RJ-
45 jack. This is useful for troubleshooting multiple components and can only be done through the on screen
display (OSD) menu. Default the RS-232 port is enabled.
2. Baud Rate:
B&K does not recommend using any baud rate other than 9600. The default baud rate is 9600. If different
Baud rates other than 9600 are used, Keypad status feedback and syncing will be lost.
3 & 4. RS-232 Receive & Transmit ID:
This is the identifier in B&K RS-232 protocol that allows B&K to “listen” (receive ID) or “talk” (transmit ID) to
other B&K products. Change this identifier if you are using an external automation system to control more
than one B&K products. It does not have to be the same value as the Transmit ID, just note what you use.
For instance, if you wanted to send a Reference 50 preamplifier an IR triggered RS-232 macro (to power off
the Reference 50) from a CT Receiver, you would set the Transmit ID of the CT Receiver to 1, the Receive
ID of the Reference 50 to 1, the Transmit of the Reference 50 to 0 and the Receive ID of the CT Receiver to
0. These values do not need to be changed if a CT-1 is used to integrate multiple CT products.
Note - If you change the Receive or Transmit ID, it does not affect setup with BKcSuite.
5. RS-232 Echo Enabled:
This setting is for those with external control systems talking to B&K components via RS-232. Echo will
repeat any RS-232 transmission received through the main RJ-45 receive port.
