DIP Switch Configuration As of this writing, the only available feature supported by the DIP switches is the baud rate. Other DIP switches are reserved for future use. Baud Rate The baud rate is controlled by DIP switches on the Sender unit. Use the following DIP switch settings to configure the port speed of the RS-232 interface.
Using RS-232 The 4K Ultra HD Extender w/ RS-232 and 2-way IR supports RS-232 pass-through, allowing the control of remote RS-232 devices. The Sender and Receiver unit which are being used to pass-through the RS-232 data must be set to the same baud rate as the RS-232 host and client.
