The device chooses between Active per Request or Active on Link mode based on the casting mode (multicast or unicast) chosen.
•
Multicast uses Active per Request.
•
Unicast uses Active on Link.

The USB connection initiates once a decoder and encoder are communicating. Multiple decoders can communicate with and have
simultaneous USB control of the same encoder. All decoders automatically activate USB control of the encoder they switch to, and
every decoder watching that encoder has USB control.

Multiple USB devices may be connected to one or more decoder units. However, only one encoder unit can have USB control at a
time. In other words, only one decoder can communicate with the encoder at any given time. By default, the first decoder unit
connected has USB control.

USB.KVM_FAST: Default FALSE. When set to TRUE (Checked) allows for rapid transition of KVM control when switching between two
encoders. Not compatible with touchscreen. Both the encoder and decoder need to have the value of setting match (and a reboot) to
take effect.
RS-232

IP
The encoders and decoders support RS-232 over IP and RS-232 pass-through, allowing the control of remote RS-232 devices. The
encoder and decoder units used to pass through the RS-232 data must be set to the same baud rate as the RS-232 host and client. In
unicast mode, an encoder unit is able to communicate with only one decoder unit at a time. In multicast mode, an encoder unit is
able to communicate with multiple decoder units simultaneously.

his mode requires an Ethernet (telnet) connection at the sending end and an RS-232 cable at the responding end. Commands are
entered via a TCP or telnet connection to port 6752. Anything entered into the TCP or telnet session at the sending side will be sent
out of the RS-232 port on the responding side.
