One common 12V status output (Labeled Control Out)

•RS232/USB programming ports (Front Panel): Communications port used to program the system using Universal Dragon software.

RS232 COM PORTs 1 and 2 (Rear): Allow the MX88 to be controlled by a PC or another RS232 device, or to control other devices that communicate via RS232 such as certain home theater components, lighting or HVAC devices.
