Ethernet TCP/IP Protocol Commands (Ethernet/RS-232 Control Driver V2.0.1)
The switch can be controlled via the TCP/IP serial control port connected to a PC, or similar third-party option.
The serial communication parameters are 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, and 1 stop bit—this is often referred to as 9600 8N1.
When the unit recognizes a complete command, it will perform the requested action—there is no delimiter character required.
