Software Operation via a Serial Port
• The serial ports are independent of one another. A front panel Configuration port
connection and a rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422 port connection can be active at
the same time.
• The default serial port protocol of both ports is as follows:
• 9600 baud • No parity • 8-bit
• No flow control • 1 stop bit
• The serial ports can be configured to operate at the 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200
baud rate but Extron recommends leaving these ports at 9600 baud only.
• See the Serial port parameters SIS commands on page 109 to configure either port
using an SIS command.
