Remote switching control

The port switching functions of the AdderView CATx 1000		REMOTE
units can be remotely controlled by an RS232 link to the		CONTROL
OPTIONS port on the rear panel.
The sending device must use the following RS232
communication settings:
Baud rate:	19200 bps
Data bits:	8
Parity:	None
Stop bits:	1

No handshaking is implemented, however, valid command characters will be echoed back to the sending device.

The value of the byte received via the serial link determines which computer port should be linked through to the user port. The table given here summarises the valid control codes:
