The factory default baud rate is 115200, but can be changed between 9600-115200.
Window/Source Feedback
Allow Window/Source Feedback - by checking this field the Window/Source Feedback driver commands are enabled for use.

Additional Driver Notes
A system lockout has been implemented while the driver obtains feedback information to allow the MediaWall uninterrupted responses. The only command capable of interrupting the system lockout is a Preset Load command, which when executed will restart the system lockout. If a quicker preset load to control ratio is required make sure the Window/Source Feedback is OFF or NOT ALLOWED (leave Allow Window/Source Feedback unchecked in the driver configuration). If the system is initialized or a processor reboot occurs and Window/Source Feedback is OFF but ALLOWED, the first time the Window/Source Feedback ON or TOGGLE command is executed, the driver will start a custom initialization process to retrieve the information for the first time. During this process the system lockout is enabled.
When Window/Source Feedback is ON - Two-way feedback variables for Border Color, Label Background Color, Label Text Color, Window Label Enable, Label Justification, Label Position, Source Aspect Ratio, and Window Source will be updated at initialization, when a change is made via a driver command, or when a preset is loaded.
When Window/Source Feedback is OFF - Two-way feedback variables for Border Color, Label Background Color, Label Text Color, Window Label Enable, Label Justification, Label Position, and Window Source will be updated ONLY when a change is made via a driver command. Current Source Current Type Aspect will not update while Window/Source Feedback is OFF.
