Serial Links

The switcher has two serial ports that can be connected to a host device such as a
computer running the HyperTerminal utility, an RS-232 capable PDA, or a control
system. These ports make serial control of the switcher possible. The serial ports
are:
•
•
The default protocol for all ports is as follows:

The ports can be configured to operate at the 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud
rate.

The switcher can operate at 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rates, but
Extron recommends leaving these ports at 9600 baud only. See "View and
Edit Communications Settings menu" in chapter 3, "Operation", to configure
the RS-232 Primary port from the front panel.
