Software Operation via a Serial Port
The serial ports are independent of one another. A front panel Configuration port connection
and a rear panel Remote RS‑232/RS‑422 port connection can be active at the same time.
The default serial port protocol of both ports is as follows:
•
9600 baud
•
No parity
•
8 data bits
•
1 stop bit
•
No flow control
The serial ports can be configured to operate at the 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud
rate but Extron recommends leaving these ports at 9600 baud only.
See the
Serial port parameters
SIS commands
on page 69 to configure either port
using an SIS command.
