Configuration port — This 2.5 mm mini stereo jack serves the same serial
communications function as the rear panel Remote port, but it is easier
to access than the rear port after the matrix switcher has been installed
and cabled. The optional 9-pin D to 2.5 mm mini jack TRS RS-232 cable,
part #70-335-01 (figure 2-16), can be used for this connection.

This port is independent of the rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port. A front panel
Configuration port connection and a rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port connection
can both be active at the same time.
This port is RS-232 only, with its default protocols as follows:
• 9600baud • noparity • 8databits
• 1stopbit • noowcontrol

The maximum distance from the seamless switcher to the controlling device
can vary up to 200 feet (61 m). Factors such as cable gauge, baud rates,
environment, and output levels (from the switcher and the controlling device)
all affect transmission distance. Distances of about 50 feet (15 m) are typically
not a problem. In some cases the matrix switcher may be capable of serial
communications via RS-232 up to 250 feet (76 m) away.
