Interface connections Connection with the control system You can perform control functions via a control system (Clare Controls, Crestron, or other system.) using its RS232 communication port. The RS232 communication port is a female 9-pin D connector (DB9). As shown in the table below, only pins 2, 3, and 5 are used.
Connection with the computer To connect the switcher to a computer: Use the DB9 cable (included) to connect the RS232 control port to a control system or computer. The adapter cable is pinned as follows: Pin 1: Connects to the 2 pin of the male 9-pin connector (Tx). Pin 2: Connects to the 5 pin of the male 9-pin connector (Gnd).

The auto-switching mode follows the principles listed below. General switching principle When there is no new source device connected to the input port, the 4x1 HDMI selection switcher detects the input ports one by one and from input 1 to input 4. Input 1 has the highest priority, and the input 4 has the lowest.
Auto-switching mode and manual-switching mode can be set by pressing the input 1 button, or by entering an RS232 command. Auto-switching mode is the factory default. The operations are listed below. Button control Pressing INPUT 1 for three seconds toggles the switch between auto-switching mode and manual-switching mode.
