6 How do I
control
several
switchers
with one
RS-232
card in a
control
system?
You can control multiple
switchers with one card at this
time. The unit does have ID
codes and can be
differentiated by the control
system. Call Altinex if this
requirement is important for
your system.
7 Can I use
contact
closure to
control the
switcher?
A special cable that plugs into
the RS-232 port and converts
contact closure into analog
control is available. This is
RC5204CC cable is made by
Altinex on request.
8 Can this
switcher be
used
outside of
the United
States?
Yes, the MX2206RM uses a
universal internal power
supply, enabling it to be used
throughout the world. Please
make sure to have the voltage
setting in the correct position
and please make sure to use
the proper adapter cable for
the country it will be used.
Adapter cables for several
countries are available through
Altinex.

• Please make sure, that input signal formats are
same for input (source) and output (display).
• Please make sure that input signal amplitude
level is as follows:
1. RED, GREEN, & BLUE are less than 10 V.
2. SYNC is less than 1.0 V and more than 0.3
V.
• Please use the appropriate input voltage
110 VAC or 220 VAC.
• Please make sure that the proper quality of
cables is used. We recommended Altinex made
cables for the best results.
• If the problem shows up after continuous usage
at higher voltage, higher temperature, higher
humidity or at other extreme environmental
conditions, please correct that.
• Please reset the unit by pressing the RESET
key for more than 2 seconds, if problem exists
with the switcher.
• Make sure that all channels (inputs) are not
OFF (i.e. RED LED is not ON next to STAND
BY key).
• If you are using any control software or
hardware to control MX2206RM, then first
verify operation of the unit using MX Control
software available from Altinex web-site:
www.altinex.com. Make sure that cable is made
according to manual, where RX pin of the
MX2206RM is connected to TX pin of the
computer.
• If you are controlling the unit by RS-232
command, make sure there is minimum delay
of 100 milliseconds before sending the next
command.
• If you have multiple MX2206RM units
connected in Master-Slave mode or Loop-
Control mode, please make sure to have
connection of RS-232 port done according to
manual.
