This sub-menu enables you to determine the mode of serial communication. The choices
are RS-232 or RS-485. RS-232 signalling is used when there is a direct connection
between a control function and the switcher. RS-485 signalling is used when there are
many devices attached to a party-line communications ring. Each Node on the party-line is
assigned a number for addressing purposes.
To determine the mode of serial communication:
1. Press SEL to enter the edit mode, indicated by the edit cursor (#).
2. Rotate the selector knob to access the two modes.
