RS-232 Channel Transmission
You can manage the VE3912T via RS-232 serial devices, such as computers
or bar code scanners. The RS-232 signal transmission flow can be illustrated as
follows:
From a source device, the RS-232 signal is transmitted (Tx) to the VE3912T
receiving (Rx) unit; the a compatible ATEN Video Receiver transmits (Tx)
signals to the display device (Rx).
You can set the VE3912T to either bypass serial data or to receive RS-232
commands. By default, the VE3912T is set to receive serial data. To set the unit
to bypass RS-232 commands, press the Input Switch pushbutton for 3 seconds.
