RS232 Control
Control of the matrix is possible through RS232 using
third party control systems or the dedicated WyreStorm
COM CTL software included with your purchase (also
downloadable from www.wyrestorm.com).
Should third party control be required, please see below
for control system configuration and hex code input. The
RS232 connection on the matrix is female QB9.
Users can use a USB to RS232 cable or a direct male to
female serial cable.
Control of matrix switching and system settings is
possible using the WyreStorm COM CTL software
included with your purchase.
After fully connecting all inputs and outputs to the matrix
and installing the software, on opening the program
the control window will display information from the
matrix, such as messages received from the switch such
as input/output details, firmware version and control
commands/HEX codes that allow the system to be
controlled remotely, as well as buttons used to navigate
the screen.

If problems are encountered controlling
devices remotely, check IR TX Emitters and IR RX
Receivers are correctly positioned and connected
to sources, displays and display receivers, with all
devices fully powered and the matrix set to IR call-
back enabled and IR TX Switch mode activated.
See COM CTL section for Call-back enabling.
IR Extender Control

Should local control of the Matrix
via the front panel IR sensor be
an issue, for example if the
sensor is obstructed or the unit
is installed in a closed area out of infrared line of sight,
the IR RX Receiver included with MX0404-QI can be
inserted into the IR EXT port at the rear to extend the IR
sensor range and enable local control of the matrix.
Typically, unless alternative methods of controlling the
matrix are chosen or problems with device communication
through the matrix encountered, basic operation is all
that is required to operate your MX0404-QI. However, the
following information on advanced operation will detail
how the matrix system can be configured for advanced
control and settings altered or data manually input should
such problems arise, as well as configuring the system for
third party control.
IR Call Back and Third Party Control systems
Attention
Due to the differing method of control
based on location, if you are using a third party
control system, learning the control from the IR
is NOT recommended as control will be limited to
scrolling up/down between inputs. For discrete
source selection you will need to import discrete
hex codes for control systems. These can be
obtained through the WyreStorm website, by
contacting our technical support or you can input
them manually.
NOTE
The IR is NEC and possesses a carrier wave
of 38KHz with a system code of 0x00
