The Atlona switcher is featured with RS232 control port which allows users to control the switch though a control system or from the computer.
The serial communication parameters are 9600 baud rate, 8 bit, No Parity and 1 stop bit
When the unit recognizes a complete command it will perform the requested action - there is no delimiter character
required.
