Advanced Serial Port Control - Extron electronics IPCP 505 User Manual

Advanced Serial Port Control

If serial setup configurations are required, the following options provide more advanced
methods for serial configuration within the IPCP:
• Serial pass-through
serial port on the IPCP and out through another serial port on the same IPCP
• Direct port access
connection on the IPCP to an AV device connected to an IPCP serial port
Serial bridging
•
IPCP (or IPL) through a network and out a specified serial port of a destination IPCP (or
IPL) to a connected AV device
