Selecting the control protocol (LW2 or LW3) on the RS-232 interface can be done either by using Lightware Device Controller or sending LW2/LW3 protocol commands. The interface can be set for the Local and for the Link RS-232 line independently from each other.
5.7.2. Pass-through mode In pass-through mode the incoming data from the local and link sides is passed through to the other side without processing it. The serial ports on the transmitter and on the receiver are linked together through the CATx (TPS) cable. This allows direct communication between a device connected to the receiver and a device connected to the transmitter.
