Remote switching control

The port switching functions of the ServSwitch CX Uno IP units can be remotely controlled by an RS232 link to the OPTIONS port on the rear panel.

The sending device must use the following RS232 communication settings:

REMOTE

CONTROL

®

724-746-5500

ServSwitch CX Uno IP

®

Baud rate: 19200 bps

Data bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop bits: 1

No handshaking is implemented, however, valid command characters will be echoed back to the sending device.

Note: You must ensure that the ServSwitch CX Uno IP unit has it Options serial ports set to ‘Sync Units’. This setting (together with the baud rate selection) can be made either via the local or global user configuration menus.

The value of the byte received via the serial link determines which computer port should be linked through to the user port. The table given here summarizes the valid control codes:
