Serial Ports
The switchers have 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rearpanelRemote(RS-232orRS-422)port,a9-pinDfemaleconnector
•ThefrontpanelConguration(RS-232)port,a2.5mmministereojack
The default protocol for both ports is as follows:

These two ports are independent of one another. A front panel Configuration
port connection and a rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port connection can both be
active at the same time.

Extron recommends leaving both ports at 9600 baud only.
