6.3 Production of network line

Network line consists of two kinds: overlapping line (Control card connects
with computer.) and direct line (Control card connects with router.).
Overlapping line:
The production of two crystal ends is different, one takes TIA/EIA-568B as
standard, the other TIA/EIA-568A standard. It is generally used for the same
device, such as PC network card and PC network card, HUB common port
and HUB common port.
Direct line:
The production of two crystal ends is the same, both of them take the
accordant standard, for example, both use the TIA/EIA-568B standard or
TIA/EIA-568A standard. It is used between PC network card and HUB
common port, and HUB common port and HUB cascading port. Direct line is
used so widely that it can applies to all common purposes.
Please use the direct line if the control card connects with a switch.

Appendix 2 Common Settings during Use

Appendix 2.1 How to remotely upgrade the

control card?
Remote upgrade of control card is mainly used for updating the products
features, or dealing with major bugs, while normal use does not need to be
updated, the specific methods are as follows:
Download the corresponding control card firmware (Each product has a
corresponding. Bin file.);
Click Operation> Update Firmware (The code is 168.) >Operation Interface,

RS232 or network port, U disk cannot be updated in this way.).
Note: Keep the power on and do not pull out the serial line during the
upgrade.

Appendix 2.2 How to restore the controller

card to factory settings?
There are two ways to restore the control card to factory settings: hardware
recovery and software recovery.
Hardware Recovery: Firstly power off > manually press the TEST button
(do not let go) > power on (do not let go) > hold for six seconds > let go to
finish rebooting.
Software Recovery: Software operation > Clear display data (This step is
required to be done in the normal communication state.);

Appendix 2.3 How to test screen with the

control card?
There are two ways to test screen: hardware test and software test.
Hardware Test: Adjust the parameters firstly, press the TEST button of the
control card (power-on) and hold it for seven seconds, let go after entering
test status, then click eight times for eight different test modes.
Software Test: Software operation> Screen Test> Interface for testing, as
below:

HD2014 LED Operation Manual of the LED Control System

select the "Export to U disk"; if the program contains a time area, you need to
adjust the time before exporting in order to ensure the accurate time. See
below:

Adjust the time for U disk: Select the Adjust time before exporting, you
can use the system time, or set it by yourself.
Luminance Settings: Set the luminance according to your own requirement,
the current luminance will be displayed when you re-export the content.

Appendix 2.8 Common solutions to uneven

luminance on the screen
1, Change the frequency to 100% or other values under the advanced
settings of screen parameter settings, see below:

2, Set the value of speed and luminance to 5,6,7,8, that is to say, drag the
progress bar to the right, as the bottom red box in the picture above shows.

Appendix 2.9 Operation of buttons on the

control board
Button S1 / test: 1, Test screen. Press this button for about 3 seconds when
the screen is bright, all the lights will turn redit has entered screen test at
this moment; if you press it again, the red, green, blue and white lights will be

power onall the contents in the control card will be cleared.
Button S2 / RGB: 1, Switch to previous program:
AQ0 card needs to set the button 2 to Switch to previous program" under the
advanced settings, and send the content to the control card, now it can be
switched normally. See below

button 1 is set to "Program Switching" under the advanced settings, see
below:

2, If the S2 button can switch programs normally, please turn the control card
off, press and hold this button to turn the power on, three lights of the control
card will be bright and one is dark, now the firmware has been cleared. If you
want to use the control card again, you must update the latest firmware.
AQ0 card can use this function only when the button 2 is set to "Switch to
previous program", while E43/ G3 cards must set the button 1 to Program
Switching see above.
