Connection of IBM-PC 9-pin D to MX2206RM 9-pin D. Note: 4, 6, 8 shorted together in IBM side only.

The MX2206RM Switcher is also designed to send feedback commands from the switcher to the control system when the buttons on the front panel of the switcher are pressed.

The Feedback codes are as follows:

Port setting preferences for the control system or computer being used to control the switcher should be set as follows:

BAUD RATE (Bits per second)	2400
Data bits	8
Parity	None
Stop Bits	1

There is no software or hardware flow control implemented. The RS-232 input has a 6 character

Commands must be issued as shown, in ALL CAPS and with the brackets [ ] included in the command string. After processing a valid command, an [OK] string will be returned. A command echo will also follow the [OK] string.

For instance, a command of [INP1] would return [OK][INP1]. The [VERN] command will return the corresponding software version being used by the switcher, such as an error string, [ERR] will be returned.

If the control system being used is not setup to wait for the [OK] string, it is important to include a 100 milliseconds delay between each command.

The following commands are added to the standard set of commands in order to facilitate control of multiple units using a single RS-232 control port. These commands are available on the switcher that has firmware revision number: 2.0. Use [VERN] commands to determine the firmware revision. These commands add additional flexibility to the switcher.

nn -	Input Number 00 to 99

mm- Output Number 01-99

This command connects any input to any output. The switching occurs as soon as the command is completed. The input 00 is used to disconnect a particular output from any input. For example, command [I00O01] will disconnect output 1 from any input.

[OUTmm]

This command sets the switcher to respond to a specific output only. The default setting is output 1.
