Advanced Hardware Configuration

The hardware configuration settings for Notification Center are in the DEFAULT.DeviceActions.XML file. The file is in this folder:

C:\ProgramData\Hexagon\Notification Center\DeviceAndAction

The following section appears at the end of the file:

<Name>Lights</Name>

<Description>Lights</Description>

<Active>true</Active>

<SerialBaud>9600</SerialBaud>

<SerialParity>None</SerialParity>

<SerialHandshake>None</SerialHandshake>

<SerialStopBit>One</SerialStopBit>

<SerialDataBits>8</SerialDataBits>

<LightType>Auto</LightType>

<SerialPort>Auto</SerialPort>

By default, the serial port is set to Auto. This setting should be the correct one. If you need to change it, do this:

  1. Open DEFAULT.DeviceActions.XML in a text editor.

  2. Set the serial port to the specific port of the light controller (such as COM5).
