Connection with Computer
Users can control the ANI-MOD matrix via control software installed in a computer. This
requires connecting the RS-232 port on the back of the matrix chassis to a serial RS-232
port on the computer. To control the switcher, users need a Terminal Emulator such as
Hyper Terminal installed on the computer.
Connection between ANI-MOD matrix and computer
Connection of TCP/IP Port (Optional Function)
The TP port of ANI-MOD is used for TCP/IP control. Use of the TCP/IP control will be discussed later in this manual. The ANI-MOD chassis
do not have a build-in webservers for control. The TCP/IP connection requires you either send comments manually or from a third-party
controller.
