From within the Settings Menu, Integrations Tab, you can choose to interact with different com devices. These devices can be used to receive or send commands. 

Serial PortDropdown box to select the Com Port to listen for commands on. 
EnabledOpens or closes the Com Port for commands to be sent and received.
DeviceChoose the serial device you will be communicating with. 
Send Carriage ReturnSends a carriage return at the end of each command sent. Some devices such as the Barix hardware need this to be checked so they know where a command stops.
Replace Characters When checked, the replace parameters will become active 
Characters To Replace
Type the characters to replace in this box. This is useful when you are receiving commands from two identical hardware boxes. Both boxes may send a command of SOP A,1,1,1,1 however you want to trigger different PlayoutONE commands for each different box.  
Characters To Replace With In the example above, we can replace SOP A with SOP B so that we can identify commands coming from each box and act upon them accordingly.
