Connecting the RS-232 Control Interface
Connect several switchers (from the series of 16x16 matrix switchers) and the
control unit in an RS-232 daisy chain arrangement, with or without using a
Null-modem adapter, as Figure 13 illustrates.
The RS-232 daisy chain switcher arrangement is transparent. This lets you
arrange the switchers (from the series of 16x16 matrix switchers) according to
your requirements, and not according to a fixed sequence dependent on the
MACHINE # and/or MACHINE ADDRESS #.
