Connections |
 |
 |
|
 |
| |
Wireless:
The signal travels via a wireless transmitter placed on
the control computers serial port and transmits the message
to the receiver at the sign. |
|
Ethernet:
The signal travels through an Ethernet adapter using a
static IP address and converts the signal to RS485 allowing
communication up to 4000’ and allowing your sign
to be controlled via the local area network. |
| |
| |
 |
 |
| |
Hardwired
RS232: The signal travels from your serial or
USB port on your computer directly to the sign between
25’ to 50’ away. |
|
IR
Downloader: The signal travels from the serial
or USB port to the download box. The box is then carried
out to the sign and uploaded to the communications box
at the sign. |
| |
| |
 |
 |
| |
Hardwired
RS485: The signal travels from your serial port
on your computer directly to the sign up to 4000’
away. |
|
Phone
Modem: The telephone signal travels from your
PC to the Modem inside your sign enabling long distance
communication. |

Adaptive's
protocol document allows you to be in complete control
of your ALPHA electronic message display.
The Adaptive protocol document allows your ALPHAsign to
communicate directly with cash registers, point-of-purchase
displays, programmable logic controls, your desktop PC,
or almost any device with a serial port. Post real-time
information, boost morale, advertise at the point-of-purchase,
all from your own software application. With Adaptive's
ALPHAProtocol document you'll have your software "Alpha
Ready" in no time. |

Alpha
Ethernet Adapter |
| |
 |
Simply
attach the ALPHA® Ethernet Adapter II to the back
of a display and connect your Ethernet cable to the Adapter.
The ALPHA Ethernet Adapter II is easily configured remotely
over your network. No external power supply is required
as the Adapter is powered directly by the display. Where
several displays are connected together via an RS485 network,
the MSS485 version is available to easily connect multiple
signs to one IP address on a 10BaseT network.
Features include:
Easy connectivity to existing LAN's.
Networking via TCP/IP 10/100BaseT
Connection to Adaptive's full line of standard ALPHA displays.
Simple user setup of the IP address. |

Remote
Control |

For
Alpha 200, 300, 400, 4000, and 7000 series signs. Also
for Big Dot, and Solar signs.
A Remote Control can be used to turn a sign off and
on or to clear its internal memory. Also, a Remote Control
can set a sign’s time and date
and its serial address. However, a Remote Control’s
most important—and most used—
purpose is the creation of text messages and graphic
images on a sign. |

IR
Loader |

IR
Loader |
| |
 |
The
Alpha Message Loader records and stores programming information
(messages, text, graphics, animations, data, etc.) for
Alpha LED displays that are equipped with Alpha EZ95 and
EZII Communications protocol. The Alpha Message Loader
can be programmed by a personal computer with messaging
software, or the Alpha Message Loader can read a message
directly from the memory of an Alpha, BetaBrite, or AlphaEclipse
sign that has been programmed by computer and software
or by a handheld remote keyboard.
The Alpha Message Loader
works with both indoor and outdoor message centers.
It works as an infrared transmission device with Alpha
and BetaBrite signs that are equipped with infrared
receivers. It works as a serial transmission device
with Alpha signs that don't have infrared receivers
(AlphaEclipse models).
Once
messages are stored in the Alpha Message Loader, they
can be transmitted (transferred, downloaded, or copied)
into one or more Alpha, BetaBrite, and AlphaEclipse
displays (any model). |
