Power ON Detection

The Power On Detection feature enables the switch to use the next active port automatically when the active port is unplugged.

When the switch is turned on, the first plug in port acts as the active port.

Note: The switch does not use the next active port if the current port is not the active port and two active ports are turned on.

RS-232 Serial Interface

The VS481A’s built-in bi-directional RS-232 serial interface allows system control through a high-end controller, PC, and/or home automation / home theater software package.

Configuring the Serial Port

The controller’s serial port should be configured as follows:

Baud Rate

19200
