Configuration port — This 2.5 mm mini stereo jack serves the same serial
communications function as the rear panel Remote port, but it is easier
to access than the rear port after the matrix switcher has been installed
and cabled. The optional 9-pin D to 2.5 mm mini jack TRS RS-232 cable,
part #70-335-01 (figure 2-16), can be used for this connection.

can vary up to 200 feet (61 m). Factors such as cable gauge, baud rates,
environment, and output levels (from the switcher and the controlling device)
all affect transmission distance. Distances of about 50 feet (15 m) are typically
not a problem. In some cases the matrix switcher may be capable of serial
communications via RS-232 up to 250 feet (76 m) away.
