Wiring for RS-232 Control (RS Models Only)

The MLC 60 Series RS models can send out RS-232 commands through the Port A RS-232 port (Port A) or the IR/S port (Port B) to control a display device or switcher that is connected to the port.

Connecting to Port A RS-232

Port A RS-232 is a unidirectional serial port to which you can connect a display device or switcher for control via RS-232 as follows:

1.Connect the Rx pin on the display device or switcher to the Tx pin of Port A RS-232.

2.Connect the ground pin of the output device to the MLC Ground pin.

Refer to the communication sheets for your device drivers for information on compatible baud rates and cabling type and distance. These communication sheets are accessed via the MLC configuration software and also on the Extron web page at www.extron.com, Download tab (see “Obtaining Device Drivers” in the “Software-based Configuration” section or the configuration program help file to view the communication sheets and download the device drivers).

Connecting to Port B IR/S

This port can be used for either IR or RS-232 unidirectional serial communication. To control a display device or switcher via RS-232 from this port, connect the device as follows:

1.Connect the Rx pin on the display device or switcher to the Tx/IR pin of Port B IR/S.

2.Connect the ground pin of the output device to the MLC Ground pin.
