CPU Link Protocol No.1 or P1 (Pesa)
The default settings for the ports are:
• 9,600 baud
• 8 data bits
• No parity
• 2 stop bit

Depending which Pesa router controller you have, it may be possible to change the bit rate to 38,400 baud. The Pesa driver has been tested at that speed but it seems to generate a lot of errors during transmission, so it is not recommended to use 38,400 baud. Please be sure to use 9,600 baud rate when configuring the Pesa controller. This driver uses the PESA checksum, as opposed to HEXA or NONE.
NOTES: |
• This driver does not support unsolicited crosspoint changes. This means that a crosspoint changed via a control panel will not be reported to the other panels until the next polling. The polling is currently set to 5 sec. |
• Crosspoint changes made using matrix or single bus are applied rapidly but the matrix button reporting the status will not be selected until the next polling. Thus a crosspoint status will take between 0 and 5 sec to display on the matrix. |
When configuring a Pesa router in iControl Router, make sure you configure ALL levels starting with level #1. If your router is using level 1, 2 and 3 and you only want to control level 3, you must also configure physical levels 1 and 2 in iControl Router.
