USER MANUAL
Using the RS232 command table from within this manu-
al, enter a valid command in the text field at the bottom
of the main menu and press enter . The sent command
should show up in the dialogue window as well as a
response from the unit . If you are not getting a response,
check connections settings and the command that was
entered .
The unit can also be used as RS232 pass-through, that is,
commands can be sent to the receiver and then carried
over the HDBaseT link and sent out of the receiver to
control a device on the far end of the signal chain . When
sending commands to the unit, all unrecognized com-
mands and commands sent with different communication
settings will be passed through to the receiver end of the
signal chain . There is no need to match the communication
settings of the unit to the communication settings of the
device on the receiver end, if the pass-through function is
only going to be used .

From the main screen, open the settings menu to adjust
the COM settings if needed . The default settings for the
unit are 96008N1 . To make sending commands easier,
check the “Append CR-LF” setting so that the “<cr>”
character does not have to be added to the RS232
commands listed in the command table of this manu-
al . If the serial terminal program does not support this
feature, the hexadecimal characters 0D can be added to
the end of the command to get the same effect . If using
default settings, the settings menu should look like the
image on the left .
