Open / Close
The Open and Close commands allows you to start and end the link between
the computer sending RS-232 commands and the CS1842 / CS1844. When the
link is open, the CS1842 / CS1844 only accepts RS-232 commands and will
not respond to front panel pushbuttons, mouse switching, hotkeys, and remote
port selector. The link starts with the
open command and ends with the close
command or after 2 minutes if no command is sent. The default value is close.
Note: To regain full control of front panel pushbuttons, mouse switching,
hotkeys, and remote port selector, close the RS-232 link command and
slide the DCC Switch to the P position (Primary).
