Controlling the AR Using the RS-232C
Connector
What’s the RS-232C Connector?/
What You Can Do with the RS-
232C Connector
The RS-232C connector is a connector used to connect to a
computer or other peripheral equipment. The AR-3000R is
equipped with a D-sub 9-pin type RS-232C connector. With
the AR-3000R, you can control the AR-3000R from an
external control device such as a computer or touch panel by
means of an RS-232C cable connection.
For more information about examples of using the RS-232C
connector, also see “Using the RS-232C Connector” (p. 21).

settings during recording, specify phrases, and copy and
delete phrases and cards.
For more about the specifications of the RS-232C connector, see
“RS-232C Connector Specifications” in Appendices (p. 137).

Baud Rate Setting
Set the RS-232C communication speed (baud rate). The
available baud rates are 4800, 9600, 19200 or 38400 bps.
Choose one that matches the usage conditions.
* Be sure to check the baud rate of the computer you’re using
before making the setting.
* The setting for 38,400 bps is for compatibility with legacy
models (the AR-3000/ 2000). However, it is a value for the
communication speed that is not defined by the RS-232C
standards. Make this setting as necessary when using a legacy
model by means of card conversion.
Procedure for Setting the Baud Rate
1.
Press the MODE button.
The MODE indicator lights up.
2.
Use the SELECT dial to choose “7.1 Baud Rate,” then
press the dial.
3.
Turn the SELECT dial to choose the Baud Rate (4800,

When the prompt appears on the screen, press the
ENTER button to enable the setting.
To quit, use the SELECT dial to choose “NO,” then press the
ENTER button.
When you’re finished making the setting, the display returns

5.
Press the MODE button.
This ends the setting process and returns you to the usual
screen.
* Pressing the MODE button while making the setting displays
a prompt asking you whether you want to quit making the
setting. Note that choosing “YES” and pressing the ENTER
button returns you to the usual screen, discarding any
settings made up to that point.
