is to cut these blaster cables and add a
3.5mm plug on the end. In some cases, repeater systems will have noise that
prevents signals from being decoded.
RS-232 Connection Details
The serial port is wired as a DCE device, and should be connected to a
computer‘s RS-232 port with a straight through cable. Connection to most
control systems should be with a straight through type serial cable, such as the
cable provided with the matrix switch. For the command protocols, see the
Serial Protocols section of this guide.
