Setting the REPLY Dipswitch
Dipswitch #5
(
the REPLY dipswitch
)
enables or disables a reply from the
VS-808DS
to the PC.
Enabling the reply is usually desirable, so that the controlling device “knows”
that the controlled device has carried out its instructions. When an RS-485
connection is used for communication between the Matrix Switcher and the
PC, dipswitch #8 should be set to OFF. In some applications, it may be
desirable for some machines not to reply to instructions received on the RS-
232 and RS-485 ports. In this case, the REPLY, or acknowledgement
commands should be disabled.
6.3.3
Setting the RS-232/RS-485 Dipswitch
The RS-232/RS-485 dipswitch allows you to enable RS-232 communication
between the Matrix Switcher and the PC.
