Page 17: Rs232 Control
RS232 enables the UNIMUX to be remotely controlled via RS232. To control the UNIMUX via RS232 the user has three options: • write a program that runs on a PC using the Command Protocol (page 15) • use the NTI Switch Control Program (page 16) provided on the CD • use the SerTest program (page 16) provided on the CD... -
Page 18: Figure 11- Rs232 Connection With Matrix-Y-1 Cable
Note: Switch 4 on the RS232 DIP switch is not used. In order to connect multiple switches (up to 15) with RS232 connections to the same CPU, an NTI Matrix-Y-1 cable must be used. Connect the Matrix-Y-1 cable between the RJ45-to-DB9 serial adapter (provided with the RS232 option) and the CPU as shown in Fig. -
Page 19: Command Protocol
Programs that send one character at a time (such as HyperTerminal) cannot be used to control the UNIMUX. Alternatively, the user may use the NTI Switch Control Program or SerTest to control the UNIMUX via RS232 (see page 16). -
