ERS-232 connector (optional) — Connect a host computer or control system to the RS-232 connector or to the local device if pass-through mode is used. Use this port to send SIS commands to the SMD 101 for device configuration and control. The default protocol for this port is 9600 baud rate, no parity bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control (handshaking).

For information on SIS commands, see Remote Communication and Control on page 57.
