Lorex SGX1600, Instruction Manual

Page: 12 / 20

The RS232 / Alarm input allows you to control the Multiplexer system from your PC. In order to achieve
this, you will require an RS232 COM Port communication program installed on your PC. There are many of
these software programs available on the internet, some of which are free.
The remote connection on the Multiplexer uses 8 data bits, 1 start bit, and 1 stop bit.
Below is an example of the data stream with the control codes shown.
The PC keyboard simulates the Quad Processor’s keypad. For example, pressing “z” will make the
Multiplexer go to Zoom mode. Note that the letters are case sensitive. Below is a list of corresponding keys,
and their codes:
