AConfiguration port — This 2.5 mm mini stereo jack serves the same communications function as the rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port, but it is easier to access than the rear port after the matrix switcher has been installed and cabled. The optional 9-pin D to 2.5 mm mini jack TRS RS-232 cable (see figure 28), can be used for this connection.

NOTES:

•This port is independent of the rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port and is not affected by changes to the protocol of the rear panel port. The protocol of this front panel port can be changed, under SIS command control only. See the Command and Response table for IP SIS commands, on page XX, to configure all ports under SIS control.

•A front panel Configuration port connection and a rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port connection can both be active at the same time.

•This port is RS-232 only, with its default protocols as follows:

•	9600 baud	•	no parity	• 8 data bits
•	1 stop bit	•	no flow control

•The maximum distances from the matrix switcher to the controlling device can vary up to 200 feet (61 m). Factors such as cable gauge, baud rates, environment, and output levels (from the switcher and the controlling device) all affect transmission distance. Distances of about 50 feet (15 m) are typically not a problem. In some cases the matrix switcher may be capable of serial communications via RS-232 up to 250 feet (76 m) away.
