    6. Remote Control The ERS-44-12G can be controlled externally using an RS-232C or LAN interface. Serial commands can be sent via RS-232C or LAN (TCP/IP) and TELNET commands can be sent via LAN by establishing a terminal connection for each. In addition, the ERS-44-12G provides an SNMP agent and you will find the product-specific MIB file in the supplied CD-ROM.

    See Sec. 6-6-2. "Crosspoint List" for GPI input and Sec. 6-6-3. "Tally List" for GPI output. The Mode-B preset is a specific GPIO set compatible with FOR-A DRS Series routing switchers. This preset also uses 4:4 router mode. * If using an existing cable for GPIO connection, use the optional connector conversion harness.

  • Page 34: Crosspoint List

    Mode-A and Mode-B are different presets for GPIO pin assignments. Normally, it is recommended to use Mode-A. Mode-B is specific for FOR-A routers connection (compatible with GPIO of FOR-A DRS Series routers). A connector conversion harness (25-pin D-sub, 50 cm) is provided as an option. See Sec. 0.
