party
Control System to configure
the SW-42Plus. The default
settings are:
Baud Rate: 115,200
Data Bits: 8 | Stop Bits: 1
Parity: None | Flow Control: None
Refer to the SW-42Plus User Manual for a complete
description of the RS-232 control protocol.
IR Input Connection

the locking ring is threaded snugly to prevent
inadvertent disconnection of the power jack. Make
sure all video, audio, and control ports are properly
connected before applying power to the SW-42Plus.
