Me too!

Hi

Which USB port is the EX-Link/RS232? Thanks

So where can one buy this USB-to RS232 adapter?

Anyone figure out IP control for the MU6300 series instead?

Curtis, Were you able to get RS232 to work via the USB port on the MU6300 TV's? Please let me know any tips as well.

I found this useful guide.

Can anyone please provide a part # for the USB to Ex-link adapter?

Add another person looking for the adapter. If someone with an adapter could plug it into a standard PC USB port and report back what the PC detects it as, that could be helpful; samsung probably is using some off-the-shelf USB-> RS232 chipset, so anything matching would work.

One more person looking for the adapter. I have Startech ICUSB232V2 and Moxa 1110 USB to DB9 adapters and neither work natively. Has anyone been able to install a driver on the TV to work with USB adapters? Or are the adapters being used specific to Samsung TVs and therefore don't need a driver? Having an impossible time getting information from my distributor. Any info helps.

Thanks!

Startech and mine (sabrent) are both prolific chipsets. Dunno on MOXA, but I'm seeing a lot on the web about Tizen supporting FTDI chipset devices. Will try to find one of those & take it for a whirl.

I purchased two Samsung UN49MU7000 TV's and found after receiving them that they are also "RS2332-ready" and don't have the EX-Link control. I emailed the custom install team at ABT electronics about obtaining the adapters and received this message below from them. I ordered two of the adapters (adapters and shipping @ no charge) and have received them and they are working great connected to the top USB port. Note -- I didn't receive a response to my email from Samsung they just showed up via FedEX ground in about 5 days.

Thanks for the email Scott!

Unfortunately we do not have any of these at the store at this time. Below is an email address on getting these shipped to you directly from Samsung.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

I'm in a bit of a pickle because I sold these tvs to be controlled via rs232. I need the discreet codes to control on/off, input. Does anyone have the hex codes for the MU6300 series?

Pretty sure they're no different than the other models; link here:

If no luck with those, extron MLC 104's are about $30 (and good to have around). Extron does have a MU6300 driver, so you'd install that, then hook the serial out to your computer serial in, use a terminal to echo incoming messages, then just hit the buttons you've programmed with what codes you want & copy what shows up in the terminal.

UN75MU6300F USB to RS232 control

Here is picture of the USB to RS232 adapter. It has USB connector at one end and 3.5mm socket at the other. Windows did not recognize the devise so I am assuming it is a Samsung proprietary devise. I tried other USB to RS232 adapters and they did not work. Looks like you have to use the Samsung supplied adapter. We got one from our Samsung dealer.

I followed all the instructions for setting up the display from above posts. I plugged it into one of the uSB ports on the display and at first I was receiving garbage back from the display. I switched to the other USB port (top one) and then it worked as expected.

 

I've been asked to share some information regarding serial control activation on two series of 2017 consumer televisions. The two series of consumer TVs, the MU6 and the MU7 series 4K Ultra HDTVs do not feature the conventional "Ex-Link" port found on the MU8 and above series of TV that is used for serial control. The Samsung Ex-Link is a 3.5mm stereo mini port is not featured on the MU6 and MU7 series. Serial control is made possible by connecting a proprietary USB Adaptor that we provide free of charge to most all of our custom installation distributors and any authorized Samsung dealer.

Samsung suggests ordering the USB Adaptor from the authorized distributor that supplies you. If in a jam, we'll ship you directly but strongly recommend getting them from your supplier. AVAD, ALMO, INGRAM, and a few other custom install distributors should have them in stock. I've shipped all these guys thousands, they should have access to them.

The Samsung USB Serial Adaptor is the name of the part. The adaptor connects to the TV's USB and features a 3.5mm stereo mini port on the other end. If you need the DB9 dongle (3.5mm to DB9) for the install, there are many aftermarket accessories available that will work.

Once the USB Serial Adaptor is installed, there is a activation procedure that must be performed. The document can be downloaded from the Samsung Custom Installation Portal once you register. Of course, you must be an authorized Samsung dealer. This is the website address: [Link: samsung.com]

If you are in a jam, we'll accommodate you, but again, strongly recommend getting the USB Serial Adaptors from your TV supplier and register access to our custom installer portal. There is a tremendous amount of product information - CAD Drawings, 2D drawings, Control Codes, product specs and comparison grids. There is also a link for special custom installer tech support that includes support for RS232.

Sorry for all the confusion on this.
