RS-232 Ports

The RS-232 ports (ports 2-4 and 6-8 on the NX-3200/4200; ports 2-4 on the NX-2200; port 2 on the NX-1200) are 5-pin
3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) connectors used for connecting A/V sources and displays. These ports support most
standard RS-232 communication protocols for data transmission.
