7 Control the VS-169TP 16x9 CAT 5 Matrix Switcher
You can use a PC to control the
VS-169TP
unit via:
•
An RS-232 interface (see
Section 7.1
•
An RS-485 interface (see
)
Section 7.2
•
The Ethernet port (see
)
Section 7.3
When connecting several units, always use only one type of interface, the
RS-232 or the RS-485. Do not mix them
)
7.1 Controlling via the RS-232 Interface
To control the
VS-169TP
via the RS-232 interface:
1. Connect the RS-232 IN 9-pin D-sub port
1
of the
VS-169TP
unit to a PC
(see
Section 6.1
2. Set the machine # to any number from 1 to 15 (see
).
Table 5
).
Figure 6: Controlling the VS-169TP via the RS-232 Interface
If several Kramer units are connected to one PC, use the daisy chain
connection (PC to RS-232 IN, RS-232 OUT to RS-232 IN on the next
machine, and so on).
1 Alternatively, the ETHERNET port could be used for PC control (instead of RS-232)
