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:

 • ArearpanelRS-232/RS-422portona9-pin D female connector

 • AfrontpanelConguration(RS-232)portona2.5mmministereojack

The default protocol for all ports is as follows:

 • 9600baud • noparity • 8databits

 • 1stopbit • noowcontrol

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. See “View and Edit

Communications Settings menu” in chapter 3, “Operation”, to conﬁgure the

rear panel RS-232/422 port from the front panel.
