How to setup XW-L9 X-Wave LEDs with Brightsign devices

In this tutorial We will use Nexmosphere's XN-185 Xperience controller (USB connection) with XM-L9 X-Wave LED module with a Brightsign device.

Please note, in order to use Sensors and Sensor events, Premium (ENTERPRISE) license is required.

Serial Communication​

Some devices do not support USB sensoring, they can communicate via serial (RS-232) cable only.
To use serial communication, you have to use XN-180 Xperience controller and serial-jack cable!
