Port Control Operations
MuxLab’s Active VGA Managed Repeater Hub may be
controlled in any one of two different ways:
1.
RS232 Control
2.
USB Control
1. RS232 Control
The Active VGA Managed Repeater Hub features built-
in firmware that allows commands from the computer
unit running MuxLab’s Control Central software to be
sent directly to the Repeater Hub via an RS232
connection. If connecting with an RS232 cable, ensure
that the cable has the straight-through configuration
shown in Figure 7.

Port Control is performed with MuxLab’s Active VGA
Managed Software, described in the
Active VGA
Managed Software Installation Guide
.
Please note that USB to RS232 converter cables could
result in problems, depending on the quality of the
converters.
