Vivitek D912HD RS232 Shutdown command

[etienne]

Hi there,
it may be a bit off topic, but I am trying to shutdown the vivitek D912HD via a USB to Serial cable (one one side USB, on the other side the 9pin female, when connecting the cable the computer installs a prolific usb to serial driver).
I am using the software Termite 3.2 for sending the commands ( http://www.compuphase.com/software_termite.htm )
which is a RS232 Terminal

I read on the web that the shutdown command is (ascii) "[~] [P] [F] [CR]"

So the Terminal software is configured with 9600 baud rate, parity check: none, data bit: 8, stop bit 1, flow control: none, append string with CR.
I then type in the command line "~PF" and click on send.

however that doees not work, nothing happens. Anyone any idea ?

So I am going to answer my own question (again):

the commands that I posted above are not correct. (I found them on google)

the correct ones are: Set Power on: V99S0001

Set Power off: V99S0002

Get System Status: V99G0007

and it looks like that a simple USB to serial converter cable is not enough, I also need to put a crossover serial cable in between...
