Configuration port — This 2.5 mm mini stereo jack (figure 2-14) serves the
same serial communications function as the rear panel Remote port, but it
may easier to access. The optional 9-pin D to 2.5 mm stereo mini TRS RS-232
cable, part #70-335-01 (figure 2-15) can be used for this connection.

The maximum distances from the matrix switcher to the controlling device
can vary up to 200
feet
(61 m). Factors such as cable gauge, baud rates,
environment, and output levels (from the switcher and the controlling device)
all affect transmission distance. Distances of about 50
feet (15 m) are typically
not a problem. In some cases the matrix switcher may be capable of serial
communications via RS-232 up to 250
feet (76 m) away.
N This port is completely separate from the rear panel Remote port and is not
affected by changes to the rear panel port’s protocol. This front panel port’s
protocol can be changed under SIS command control only.
This port is RS-232 only, with its default protocols as follows:
• 9600 baud • no parity • 8-bit
• 1 stop bit • no flow control
